I made this while remembering the pizza I had when I was in Genova. I get tired of eating the same thing so I made it half and half.

Use tons of mozzarella cheese.
If mozzarella is difficult to come by, use pizza type shredded cheese.
The crust has a lot of olive oil, but since it's rolled out so thinly it's easy to handle. Of course you can decrease the amount if you want. Recipe by Brandy

2

Place the flour, yeast, salt, and olive oil into a bowl. Pour in the lukewarm water and mix well. Cover it and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to rise.
3

When it has doubled in size, dust with flour and release the gas. Round it off and roll it out into a circle using a rolling pin. Preheat the oven to 220°C.
4

Place on a pizza plate. If using a baking sheet, roll the dough into a rectangle.
5

Spread the genovese sauce onto 1 half and the tomato sauce onto the other half. Slice the mozzarella into 1cm thick slices.
6

Place the mozzarella on the pizza. Sprinkle grated parmesan around the edges. Bake in the oven for 10-20 minutes.
7

Top with chili or black pepper. In the photo, I topped the pizza with 1 teaspoon of roasted pine nuts before baking.
8

The pizza plate I used is Kaiser brand. It has air holes to create a crisp crust. If you don't have one, it will be fine if you thinly roll out the dough and place it on a baking sheet.
9

If you have leftover dough, roll it out thinly and place it in the freezer. Or you could make mini pizzasand freeze them.

If you don't use corn grits / semolina flour, use 50g of strong bread flour.
