Easy

Tomato SauceIn a large bowl, hand crush tomatoes. Add: olive oil, garlic, fresh basil, parsley, dried basil, dried oregano, chili flakes, Par-migianno, and lots of cracked pepper. Mix. Cover and let it sit in the fridge for 3 hours, or overnight.

The ToppingsSlice salami into strips, the mozzarella into rounds, pit and halve the kalamata olives, and finely grate the Pergorino.

Skiaff it TogetherPlace oven rack at the bottom, and preheat at 475 degrees F. Grease the pizza pan with 2 tablespoons of leaf lard and work the dough to fit into the pan. Spread a ¼ cup of sauce onto the dough. Place the pizza in the oven, and cook for 5 minutes to pre-crisp the crust.

When 5 minutes are up, take pizza out and add another ¼ cup of sauce. Shkiaff the pizza back into the oven and cook for an-other 5 minutes. (We want the crust to develop some backbone, so it can handle all the toppings.) Take pizza out again, and add your toppings: 1 layer of Mozzarella rounds, sprinkle with Pe-gorino, add salami strips, and kalamata olives. Put pizza back in the over and cook for a final 5 minutes. Immediately remove it from the pan, and sprinkle with juli-enned baby spinach.
