Ingredients
Scale
Dough:
- 2 cups 00 or all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup semolina, plus more for Orolling
- 1/2 teaspoon instant yeast
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of salt
Sauce:
- 1 can (28 oz) San Marzano tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- Pinch of salt
Topping:
- Extra virgin olive oil for drizzling
- Dried oregano
- Grated pecorino romano (optional)
Instructions
Make the dough:
- Combine the flour, semolina, yeast, salt, olive oil, and water in a bowl. Mix until a ball forms.
- Turn out onto a semolina-dusted surface and knead until smooth, about 5 minutes.
- Cover the bowl and let rise for 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled.
Make the sauce:
- While dough rises, add San Marzano tomatoes to a bowl. Puree with a hand blender until smooth. Stir in a tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt.
Shape and bake:
- Preheat oven to its highest setting (500 to 550 F). Line a baking sheet with parchment or oil it.
- Turn the dough out onto a semolina-dusted surface. Cut into 6 equal pieces. Sprinkle semolina on top of each piece and roll each one out with a rolling pin into a long, thin tongue shape.
- Transfer to the baking sheet. Spread sauce over the top of each piece, covering the edges. Sprinkle with oregano, drizzle with olive oil, and add grated pecorino romano if using.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the crust is golden and crispy and the edges are slightly charred. Optionally, sprinkle with more pecorino after cooking.
