Pizza

It´s fun to make Pizza, especially with good friends and great wine. Yes, you can buy "Pizza sauce" from the market, but then eat it yourself and do not offer it to any of your good friends!

Tomato sauce:
As I have written before, fresh tomatoes in Finland are all tasteless, so better use canned tomatoes... Additionally you need some onions, garlic, maybe some chili and lots of spices... Do not forget sugar.

Heat a good amount of olive oil.

Chop onions, (if you use food processor later, you do not need to chop too fine..

Ad onions into very hot oil

Now add crushed tomatoes, and a lot of these: sugar, tarragon, thyme, basil, oregano, rosemary, black pepper, not so much salt, and a glass of red wine. Lower the heat to medium, and let the mixture shimmer one hour, with lid on top of the pot.

After one hour add garlic, and let it shimmer another half an hour, this time w/o lid. Now the sauce is ready. I always do this in big quantities, since it remains well in fridge for weeks, and you can make pizza, pasta, mexican dips etc. from this base tomato sauce.

Pizza
Make normal white bread dough. I use only wheat flour, water, yest, salt and sugar. You can also use some oil, but it´s ok without. (500 ml water = about 1200 ml flour)

Remember to make pizza thin enough and also put some flour on frying plate. (Otherwise you have to eat the plate aswell..)

Filligs: Let´s make two different pizzas

Spread tomato sauce, please NOT too much
