Step 1
Preheat oven to 425F. Brush a 10x15 baking pan with a bit of olive oil and sprinkle with a small amount of cornmeal or semolina flour. Use your fingertips to press the dough into the pan, keeping the dough even in thickness all the way to the edge.
Step 2
Brush the top of the dough with more olive oil and use a fork to create pricks all over. Bake for 5-7 minutes. If bubbles begin to form while baking, reach in with a fork and poke them to let the gas escape.
Step 3
While crust is pre-baking, mix together the tomato sauce, tomato paste, italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and sugar. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed - add a bit more sugar if sauce still tastes too acidic.
Step 4
Spread sauce over pre-baked crust, going all the way to the edge. Top with meat, veggies, pepperoni, or any other desired toppings. Add a generous layer of mozzarella cheese on top.
Step 5
To recreate the look of a school pizza, have the toppings and cheese go all the way to the edge of the crust.
Step 6
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly. Cut into rectangles and serve.
