Notes

**for the sauce:
1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes
1 tsp salt
½ tsp garlic powder
1 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp oregano
1 tbsp basil

for the crust (makes 3 12-14” pizzas):
6-7 cups flour
1/3 cup olive oil
2 tsp salt
½ tsp garlic powder
2 tsp sugar
3 tsp active yeast
3-4 cups warm water (warm or tepid)

MAKE THE CRUST: in the bowl of stand mixer, combine yeast and sugar with 1 cup water. Stir to dissolve yeast and allow to proof for 8-10 minutes. The mixture should rise and become bubbly. Attach the dough hook and start off on the lowest speed setting. Slowly add flour, one cup at a time. In between cups, add salt and garlic powder. Slowly drizzle in olive oil. Add water, 1 cup at a time, until the dough starts to come together.
Gradually increase the speed and continue to mix until a ball forms. if the dough is too wet, add flour, 1/4 cup at a time. If it is too dry, add warm water, 1/4 cup at a time. Knead for 10 minutes.
Lightly oil a large bowl, for the dough into a ball, cover loosely, and let rise in a warm place for 45-mins to 1 hour, until doubled in size.
Punch the dough down, cover and let rise again in a warm place.
Divide into 3 even balls and roll out crust to desired thickness.
MAKE THE SAUCE: In a saucepan, combine all ingredients, stir and bring to boil on medium heat. Reduce, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes. Store in airtight container and refrigerate if not using immediately.
