- ½ can (200g) crushed tomatoes

Instructions
Step 1
To make the sauce, heat a small saucepan over medium heat and add the olive oil. When oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Pour in the crushed tomatoes and add salt and pepper. Simmer the sauce for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it slightly thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 2
Install the Accessory Frame in the bottom level of the unit, then place the Pizza Stone on top.
Step 3
Turn left-hand dial to select PIZZA, then use the right-hand dial to select NEAPOLITAN, and set time to 3 minutes. Select START/STOP to begin preheating (preheating will take approx. 25 minutes).
Step 4
On a lightly floured work surface, stretch and toss dough by hand into a 10-inch circle about 1/8-inch thick.
Step 5
Evenly spread a thin layer of the prepared sauce on the dough, leaving a ½-inch edge for the crust. Then evenly top with sliced mozzarella, basil, sliced tomatoes and olive oil, as desired.
Step 6
When unit is preheated and ADD FOOD and PRS STRT is displayed, open door, slide a floured Pizza Peel under the pizza and transfer to the hot stone. Close door, select START/STOP, and cook for 3 minutes. If more time is necessary or a darker pizza is desired, increase the time using the right-hand dial.
Step 7
When cooking is complete, open door and remove pizza with peel. Let rest for 5 minutes before drizzling with olive oil, cutting and serving.
