Method
Step 1
Make the dough: combine dry ingredients in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment. Add water and melted butter, then mix on low until a soft dough forms. Lightly flour a clean surface and work dough into a ball with your hands. Lightly oil a large bowl and add the dough, turning to coat with oil. Cover tightly and let rise in the cool oven for 1.5-2 hours.
Step 2
When dough has risen, roll out into a 12 x 15” rectangle. Spread an even layer of softened butter over the surface. Roll up dough starting from the short end, then split dough in half and form each into a ball. Return the dough to the oiled bowl and cover tightly. Place bowl in refrigerator to rise for 1-1.5 hours.
Step 3
Make the sauce: Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a medium saucepan. Add garlic, onion, and shallot and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned. Add the Tuttorosso Crushed Tomatoes Chunky Style in Puree with Sweet Basil, salt, black pepper, and dried spices. Cook until mixture is thickened, about 25 minutes.
Step 4
When dough looks puffy, preheat oven to 425 degrees. Pat each dough ball into a 10-12” circle. Place each round of dough into a 9” cake pan or cast iron skillet, and press into the bottom of the pan. Top dough with half the cheeses and the fillings, if using. Spread half the sauce into each pan. Bake until dough is golden brown and cheese is melted, about 25 minutes. Serve immediately.
