4) Once done cover the dough with a sling and let it rest for an hour and double its size.
5) For the sauce just puree the blanched the tomatoes for 2mins and then de seed them and puree in the blender till smooth.
6) In a pan, put oil sauté the garlic and add in the tomato purée. Add salt and oregano and cook till the puree is done.
7) Add chili flakes in the end and let it cool.
