Step 1

Add all ingredients except oil and garlic into a high sided container and mix with immersion blender under larger herbs are broken down. Preheat medium sauté pan over med heat. Add oil and garlic into pan. Sauté to soften garlic. Add sauce puree. Reduce to low and simmer for about 20min until reduced and dragging spoon through leaves a trail.

Step 2

Add ingredients into the bowl of stand mixer with dough hook attachment and mix on low for 3 minutes or until dough forms into a messy ball. Increase speed to high and continue to mix for about 6min. Transfer dough to well oiled rectangular container, cover, and allow to rise at room temp for 30min. Fold strength into dough. Cover and allow to rise again at room temp for 30min. Repeat strength building fold. Cover and allow to rise for yet another 30 minutes.

Step 3

Very liberally oil sheet pan, making sure to spread into corners and up the sides. I usually use at least 30ml or 2-3Tbsp. Flip dough onto sheet tray. Spread dough out into rectangular shape. Cover and let rest for 15-20min. After that first rest, continue stretching dough out into the pan. Degas, grab edges, and stretch edge to edge. Cover and allow to relax for 15 minutes. At this point, you should be able to stretch dough the rest of the way to fill the sheet pan. Cover one last time and allow to proof for about 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 550F with pizza stone or steel placed on the lower 1/3 rack.
