For years, I had trouble finding a pizza sauce recipe my family liked, so I started making my own. The evening I served it to company and they asked for my recipe, I knew I'd finally got it right!

Tips:

  • Use the right tomatoes: San Marzano tomatoes are the best choice for pizza sauce because they have a low acidity and a rich, sweet flavor. If you can't find San Marzano tomatoes, you can use Roma tomatoes or plum tomatoes.
  • Roast your tomatoes: Roasting the tomatoes before making the sauce intensifies their flavor and gives the sauce a smoky depth of flavor.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, and thyme, add a bright, vibrant flavor to pizza sauce. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount.
  • Season the sauce to taste: Taste the sauce before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder.
  • Let the sauce simmer: Simmering the sauce for at least 30 minutes allows the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the sauce, the better it will taste.

Conclusion:

Homemade pizza sauce is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used on pizza, pasta, or even as a dipping sauce. It's easy to make and only requires a few simple ingredients. By following these tips, you can make a delicious pizza sauce that will rival any store-bought sauce. So next time you're making pizza, give homemade pizza sauce a try. You won't be disappointed!
