Ingredients:

1     recipe        Pizza Dough
1/4   cup           extra-virgin olive oil
1     medium        onion
2                   garlic cloves
1/2   cup           large pitted green Spanish olives
                    = (such as Manzanilla)
2     tablespoons   capers
1/2   bunch         fresh basil leaves
2     cans          whole peeled tomatoes - (28 oz ea)
                    hand crushed
                    Kosher salt
                    Freshly-ground black pepper
1                   ball fresh buffalo mozzarella - (8 oz)

Directions: one line for each direction. When saved the lines will be numbered.

Make the pizza dough as directed in the master recipe. Stick a pizza stone in the oven and preheat them to 500 degrees.
Coat a saute pan with the olive oil and place over medium heat. When the oil gets hazy, add the onion and garlic, cook and stir for 5 minutes to soften. Add the olives, capers, and some hand torn basil. Carefully add the tomatoes (nothing splashes like tomatoes), cook and stir until the liquid is cooked down and the sauce is thick, about 10 minutes; season with salt and pepper and then take it off the stove.
Spread the sugo sauce evenly on the crust with a ladle. Rip the mozzarella into pieces with your hands and distribute them on top; scatter some basil leaves all around. Slide the pizza onto the hot stone in the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the crust is golden and crisp, and the cheese is bubbly. Garnish with even more fresh basil before serving.
This recipe yields 3 pizzas.
