Three Cheese Pizza Classica

Here's what you'll need:

For the Crust:

• 3 cups + 3 tablespoons of bread flour
• 1 heaping tablespoon of sugar
• 1/2 tablespoon of salt, plus a pinch for the top
• 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
• 1 3/4 cups of warm water 
• 2 1/2 tablespoons of fresh yeast

For the Sauce:

• 1 white onion, finely chopped
• 4 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
• Fresh basil leaves, diced
• 4 1/2 pounds of fresh Roma tomatoes, quartered

Toppings:

• Fresh mozzarella, sliced into thin disks 
• Fresh ricotta, in small dollops 
• Fresh shredded parmesan 
• Optional: Fresh basil leaves or thinly sliced prosciutto

Instructions:

1. Begin with the sauce and finely chop the onion and the garlic.
2. Drop the chopped ingredients into a your sauce pot over medium heat with a generous amount of extra virgin olive oil, and  fry for a few minutes until transparent.
3. Add the basil leaves and immediately after the quartered tomatoes. Cook it for about 1 hour.
4. Pass the sauce through a vegetable mill and return to the stove to simmer on low heat.
5. Season with salt and pepper generously and set aside. (The longer you let the ingredients simmer, the better flavor you will have - just be careful to keep over low heat and stir occasionally.)
6. Next, prepare your pizza dough. Place all of the bread ingredients together in a mixing bowl, trying to keep the salt and the yeast separate initially.
7. Mix together either by hand or with a mixer using the dough hook, and knead for about 10 minutes (you should expect a very soft dough).
8. Leave it to rise to about double its size, then roll out on a well floured surface to desired thickness.
9. Place on an oiled baking tray forming the base of your pizza and set aside for another half hour to double in size again.
10. Drizzle liberally with extra virgin olive oil.
11. Pre-bake the dough in a 390 degree oven for about 5 minutes or so, until it begins to form a light crust.
12. Remove from the oven and top with sauce, and fresh mozzarella and ricotta cheese. 
13. Bake in a hot oven at 390 degrees for about 10-12 minutes.
