until smooth and elastic, about 7 minutes. Cover and let rise for 10 minutes.
Combine the tomatoes, paste, oil and seasonings. Divide the dough in half,
pressing each portion into a greased 15×10x1 baking pan that has been coated
with non-stick cooking spray. Prick the dough. bake in a 425 degree oven for
12-16 minutes. Spread the sauce over the crust, top with pepperoni and cheeses.
