Directions:
1

Preheat your oven to 500°F.

In a large bowl, stir together the flour, yeast, and salt.

3

Make a well in the center and add in the warm water and olive oil. Stir until the dough comes together, it will be fairly wet and craggy at this point.

4

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 5 minutes.

5

In a small bowl, mix together the pasta sauce, garlic, and basil to make the pizza sauce.

Roll out the dough and create a pizza shape and place on a lined baking sheet. Make sure the base is very thin since it will rise a little in the oven.
