For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of fresh rosemary to the dough before baking. If you don't have San Marzano tomatoes, other high-quality canned tomatoes will work. Just make sure they are whole peeled for the best texture. Feel free to experiment with different toppings! Sliced pepperoni, mushrooms, or bell peppers would be delicious additions.

Follow The Directions
01
StepGather all ingredients.
02
StepPlace potato into a large pot and cover with cold water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until soft, about 20 minutes. Drain. Mash the potato and let cool to room temperature, 15 to 20 minutes.
03
StepCombine flour, brown sugar, salt, yeast, and 2 tablespoons oil in the bowl of an electric stand mixer.
04
StepAdd water and mix on low speed until it comes together and no dry flour remains. Add the potato and increase speed to medium until dough is stretchy.
05
StepCoat the bottom of a lipped baking sheet with the rest of the oil. Place the dough on the baking sheet and spread it out, edge to edge.
06
StepUse cooking spray to coat plastic wrap. Cover the dough and let rest at room temperature for 2 hours.
07
StepPreheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a cold, 8-inch skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low and flip the garlic until is lightly browned.
08
StepAdd tomatoes, tomato paste, onion powder, oregano, and red pepper flakes and combine for about 2 minutes; add sugar and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in basil. Season sauce with salt and pepper. Mash or blend with an immersion blender to achieve a chunky consistency.
09
StepRemove the plastic wrap and adjust the pizza dough if necessary, ensuring it fills the pan from corner to corner. Spread 1 cup of sauce over the crust using a spoon, leaving a 1-inch border. Coat the top with 1/2 of the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
10
StepBake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and add mozzarella cheese evenly over the entire pizza. Add more tomato sauce randomly over the pizza and add remaining Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
11
StepReturn to the oven and bake until crust is well browned and cheese is melted and lightly browned in spots, about 10 minutes. Cool at room temperature for 5 minutes before cutting.
