Notes
- For the most authentic flavor, try to find true Fontinella cheese, which has a distinctive sweet and creamy profile. If unavailable, Asiago makes an acceptable substitute, though the flavor will be slightly more sharp. While a pre-baked crust works perfectly for weeknight ease, homemade pizza dough creates an even more impressive final result. The key to this sauce-less pizza is allowing the tomato mixture to slightly cook down before spreading it on the crust – this develops flavor while ensuring the pizza won't be dry.
