Lemon Sparkling Water:

Instructions
Caesar Salad:
- Prep the ingredients per the instructions above.
- For the croutons: Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C). Drizzle the oil over the croutons. Season with salt and pepper. Toss until evenly coated. Spread in a single layer over the baking sheet and bake until golden brown and crisp (about 10-12 minutes). Then set aside.
- Make the Caesar Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together garlic, Dijon, Worcestershire, lemon juice, and red wine vinegar. Slowly drizzle in extra virgin olive oil while whisking constantly. Whisk in parmesan. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Pizza:
- Let dough come to room temperature, at least 30 minutes. Place a rack in lower third of oven; preheat to 425°F (218°C).
- Drain tomatoes in a fine-mesh sieve set over a large bowl. Using your hands, crush tomatoes as finely as you can. Let sit in sieve to continue draining, about 2 minutes. Discard or reserve liquid for another use.
- Place tomatoes in the bowl. Add half of the garlic, 1/3 of the oil, and salt and mix to combine.
- Generously grease a baking sheet with oil. Gently punch down dough and transfer to prepared tray. Using your fingers and sides of your palms, gently stretch dough to fill the whole tray. If dough springs back, cover with plastic wrap and let dough rest at room temperature for 10 minutes. Top dough with cheese and dollop with sauce, leaving a 1/2" border on all sides. Add any toppings of choice if using.
- Bake pizza until cheese is bubbling and crust is deeply golden, 20 to 25 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix basil and remaining garlic and remainingoil; season with salt. Sprinkle basil leaves over pizza.
Lemon Sparkling Water:
- Mix sparkling water with lemon slices. Serve over ice if desired.
- Serve: Cut pizza into slices. Toss lettuce and croutons with Caesar dressing. Serve pizza with salad and lemon sparkling water.
