St. Louis-Style Provel Pizza

Instructions
1
Prep
Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt, then add olive oil and water and work into a stiff dough with no dry crumbs.
2
Rest
Cover the dough and let it sit on the counter 15 minutes until relaxed.
3
Simmer
Combine canned tomato sauce, tomato paste, dried oregano, sugar, and garlic powder over medium-low heat 5 minutes until thickened and the raw tomato smell mellows into a sweet aroma.
4
Build
Roll the dough thin, transfer to a baking sheet, spread the sauce, scatter cooked crumbled sausage, then cover fully with shredded Provel.
5
Plate
Bake at 475°F for 13 minutes until Provel is molten and the crust crisp, then cut into small tavern-style squares.
