Notes
Use homemade classic pizza dough, instant no-yeast pizza dough or store-bought pizza crust. To speed up the process, I used store-bought pizza dough in the video and images.
For the tomato sauce use plain pizza sauce or red sauce or whatever you call it. It's also known as tomato passata if it's an Italian product.
