Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1/4 recipe Pizza Dough

3/4 cup Tomato Sauce for Pizza

(see separate recipes)

3 ounces mozzarella -- up to 4

diced into small cubes

12 Gaeta or Nicoise or Kalamata olives

pitted and quartered

1 tablespoon chopped marjoram

Freshly milled pepper

Extra virgin olive oil

 

MAKES ONE 10-INCH PIZZA

 

The success of a simple pizza, like this one, depends on the quality of

your oil and herbs - which should be fruity and fragrant, respectively.

 

Preheat the oven to 500 F.

 

Roll or stretch out the dough into a 10-inch circle, place it on a floured

peel or pizza pan, and let rest for 10 minutes. Spread on the tomato

sauce, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edge. Scatter the cheese and

olives over the sauce, then add half the marjoram and a little

pepper. Drizzle a little oil over all. Bake on a stone or in the pan

until the pizza is bubbling, about 10 minutes, then remove and add the

remaining marjoram.
