Preparation
- Place the tomatoes in a large bowl, add the spices and add a good drizzle of olive oil. Mix and set aside.
- Preheat the barbecue to maximum power.
- Place the tomatoes on the grills, flesh side up, and cook for 5 to 6 minutes. Flip and continue cooking for 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat when the tomatoes are well roasted and almost burnt and when they begin to fall apart. Place in a bowl and let cool for 10 minutes. Remove the peel and discard.
- Pour the tomatoes into a large bowl with high rims and add the tomato paste, oregano, sugar and season with salt to taste. Blend and set aside. Do you like a sauce with more texture? Blend only 3/4 to a puree and crush the rest. Makes about 2 cups of the sauce.
- Preheat the oven to 500 °F. Generously sprinkle two large baking sheets with flour.
- Divide the pizza dough in half and on a floured work surface, spread the pizza dough to form two circles of about 12”. Place on the baking sheets. Drizzle with a thin drizzle of olive oil then spread well with your fingers. Sprinkle with garlic salt to taste. Add the cheese and the sausage slices.
- Place in the oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until the dough is lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let stand for 3 minutes before eating!
