Beyond the dough...let's go with the sauce
In a pot with boiling water place 8 medium sized tomatoes, when the skin starts to come off, remove from the heat and run them under cold water, to be able to peel them better. Then, in a pot over medium heat place oil (olive or corn) and when it is hot put an onion chopped into cubes and two cloves of crushed garlic; stir until they crystallize.
Then add the tomatoes and crush them with a wooden spoon; add a spoonful of tomato paste, salt, pepper, oregano and sugar. Continue adding half a cup of water, and finally add some basil sprigs. Stir everything and leave the pot covered for 10 minutes or until it boils to finish cooking the sauce.
Then remove from the heat and let stand for a few minutes. If you like the sauce with pieces of tomato and onion, leave it like that. But if you prefer it to be liquid, blend it in a blender and you have your tomato sauce for pizza! It is up to your taste what you want to add to garnish and enhance the flavor: ham, cheese, corn, olives, etc.
