Preparation

Steps

Spray a non-stick sauté pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Over medium heat, add onions and garlic to the sauté pan and sauté until translucent, stirring frequently.
Meanwhile, in a large pot over medium heat, empty contents of tomatoes (including juice).
Using a whisk, gently break up the whole tomatoes into medium-sized pieces.
Add onion and garlic mixture to tomatoes and stir.
Add Welch's 100% grape juice, ground flaxseed, oregano thyme, crushed red pepper, salt and pepper.
Allow to simmer for 15 minutes; adjust seasonings.
Prepare pre-made crust according to directions. (If using Trader Joe's pizza dough, I suggest par-baking the crust for 8-10 minutes.)
Lightly cover pizza pan or pizza stone with cornmeal.
Place crust on pizza pan or pizza stone.
Spread ¼–½ cup sauce on the crust.
Top with preferred toppings.
Bake until cheese is warm and bubbly.
