Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 cloves garlic, minced
One 28-ounce can Italian plum tomatoes, crushed by hand
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves, torn by hand

Instructions

Special equipment: a 4 1/2-inch biscuit cutter, optional
For the marinara sauce: In an 8-inch saucepan, add the olive oil along with the onion and turn the heat to medium. Add a small pinch of salt and saute until the onion softens and develops a bit of color, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Add the tomatoes along with the sugar and oregano, partially cover the saucepan with a lid, bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce reduces and deepens in color, about 20 minutes.
Remove the lid, add the basil, season with salt and pepper to taste and cook for 5 additional minutes.
For the pizza: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Sprinkle some semolina on a couple of baking sheets and set aside.
Roll out each ball of dough into a 15-inch circle using either your hands or a rolling pin. Using a large biscuit cutter or an upside-down bowl, cut out 4 1/2-inch circles and place them on the prepared baking sheets. Top the mini pizzas with some of the marinara sauce, followed by your desired toppings, making sure to leave a little border all around. Bake until golden brown and bubbly, 8 to 10 minutes.
