Method

  1. Mix the flour, water, yeast, and salt into a soft dough and let it rise until doubled, about 90 minutes.
  2. Stretch the dough by hand into a thin round, leaving a raised lip at the edge.
  3. Top with the San Marzano sauce and a thread of olive oil, keeping the crust bare.
  4. Bake on the hottest setting with a stone or steel until the crust is blistered and the cheese bubbles.
