pour flour onto your counter and create a hole in the center. Add yeast and salt into warm water. Mix until yeast is melted into water. Pour water and extra virgin olive oil into the middle of the flour. Incorporate flour into the wet mixture using your hands and a spatula. Knead the dough with both hands until it is smooth. Cover dough with plastic wrap and let it sit until it's doubled it's size
Shaping Pizza Balls:
Cut dough into 8 ounce pieces. Shape the pizza balls and roll on table to create a smooth small ball. Put all the pizza balls on a tray, cover with plastic wrap and let sit over night
Make Sauce:
Crush the whole tomatoes with your hands into smaller pieces. Add salt, pepper, oregano and basil and mix.
Assembling and Cooking Pizza:
Preheat oven to 500 degrees (convection setting preferred) Flour your work surface and begin spreading the dough out using the tips of your fingers from the middle to the outside of the dough. Keep the edges a bit thicker for a crust. Rotate the pizza on the table to expand the dough. Add tomato sauce, fresh sliced mozzarella, grilled asparagus, grilled artichoke hearts, black olives and smoked ham. Use a pizza peal to put your assembled pizza on pizza stone. Put in oven for 5-10 minutes until the crust is brown and the cheese is melted. Finish with a splash of extra virgin olive oil and serve.

Davide Megna: Hello! I am Davide Megna from Amici Miei Ristorante and we are making pizza today. I am going to show you how to make a pizza sauce.
We start from peeled canned Italian tomatoes. We open a can of tomatoes. We start crushing with our -- you can just use your hands and crush the whole plump tomatoes. Crush it into small pieces. If you like your sauce a little bit finer, just pass it through a food mill. Otherwise, if you like it a little bit chunkier, just use your hands. We are going to add to the tomato a little bit of salt, a little bit of black pepper, some dried oregano. We are going to break with our hands some fresh basil. By cutting our basil with our hand, we actually maintain much more flavor than cutting it with a knife. So that's why we are doing it with our bare hands.
We add in some extra virgin olive oil. Now we mix everything with a spoon and our pizza sauce is now ready. In our next segment, I am going to show you how to open a pizza and putting all the toppings together and cooking it.
