Using shoertening grease one 14“X10” jelly rollpan or 2 round 10“ pizza pans. Use ample shortening. Pat dough into pans. While dough rises in a warm place, make the sauce. Blend all sauce ingredients in a blender on high about 30-60 seconds. Pour into saucepan and simmer 20-30 minutes. Spread sauce on dough. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over. Put pepperoni or other toppings on sauce. Bake at 400 for 20 minutes for jelly roll pan, slightly less for round pans. Remove from oven. Cover pizza with shredded mozzarella cheese.
