Easy Pizza on a LAZY Sunday evening

It was a Sunday evening and I did not feel like doing a lot of cooking nor do I want to dress up and go out for dinner or buy takeaway.  I was very lazy and just wanted to flop on my couch and watch a movie with my Quay Lo. I had some tomato sauce which I made a few days ago and a last piece of ready made pizza dough in the fridge. Those two were perfect for preparing an easy and quick dinner.  It only took me 30 mins to get the pizza ready to be served.  I served it on paper plates and we ate our meal with our fingers. The most thrilling part for me is no dishes to wash. Oooo I loved it!! I didn't think I could have done any better at being lazy could I? LOL!



Ingredients:
(A)
½ cup black olives, sliced
1 tbs thinly sliced sundried tomatoes,
5 cloves thinly sliced garlic
1 medium onion thinly sliced in rings
1  8-in ready made pizza dough


(B)
1 cup grated mozzarella cheese

Ingredients for the sauce:
½ tsp chopped garlic
2 shallots, thinly slices
1 can plum tomatoes (drain off ½ the juice)
1 tbs tomato paste
½ bullion chicken stock
½ tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp olive oil

Method to prepare the sauce:
Heat oil and sauté garlic and shallots till fragrant. Add plum tomatoes and juice. Break up the tomatoes as much as possible with your ladle.  Lower hear to  medium and let simmer for about 10 mins. Add chicken stock, ground black pepper, sugar and tomato paste.  Mix well and side aside.

Method to assemble pizza:
Brush the sauce onto the pizza dough and add (A) and top with grated mozzarella cheese.  Bake in the pre heated oven at 220 degrees C or 450 degrees F for 10 – 15 mins or when the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
