IRON MIKE'S SWEET TOMATO PIZZA SAUCE - THE SPIRIT OF CINCINNATI



Iron Mike's Sweet Tomato Pizza Sauce - the Spirit of Cincinnati image

So I grew up in Cincinnati. 18 years of Cincy Chili, Ribs, Ice Cream, and, of course, LaRosa's Pizza, whose sauce is flavorful and SWEET. Now that I've been away, I find you can't get any pizza remotely close ANYwhere else. Now this is no copycat recipe, but it captures the spirit of Buddy L's pizza sauce. It complements vegetable toppings as well as meats... My wife and I have not ordered pizza out since this sauce was concocted... I HIGHLY recommend using caetb's pizza dough with this sauce. (Recipe #38512 - the one with the wine...) I put the ingredients in the bread machine and it turns out great every time. I cook the finished pizza between 400 and 425 degrees fahrenheit for 9-12 minutes on a normal cookie sheet, or 11-15 minutes on an "air cookie sheet." (My wife and I prefer the normal cookie sheet, so the crust cooks and the cheese doesn't burn...) I'd love to hear feedback from others, especially misplaced Cincinnati Folks - let me know your thoughts! Mike's Notes: Since I concocted and posted this recipe, I have been back to Cincinnati... Needless to say, when I had the "real thing," I was mildly disappointed! Doh! I'm thinking about decreasing the "sweet" contents by 1/2 tbsp each on the honey and brown sugar - it IS awfully sweet! Okay - enough already - enjoy!

Categories     Sauces

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 pizza saucings, 15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 (28 ounce) can tomato puree
1 teaspoon dried onion, minced or chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 cloves fresh minced garlic
1/2 tablespoon minced carrot
1 1/2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons brown sugar
fresh ground pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat.
  • Add the Tomato Puree; watch out for splatterage!
  • Add everything else and simmer uncovered on low, stirring frequently, for 30-60 minutes, until desired consistency.
  • Tips:.
  • Freeze leftover sauce until ready to use; When using on pizza dough, thaw to room temperature; Thaws nicely in the microwave.
  • Don't use too much pepper.
  • You can mince a baby carrot in the garlic press after microwaving it for 5-10 seconds- just cut it in half before putting it through the press- and that equals about 1/2 Tablespoon.
  • Either Light or Dark Brown Sugar is fine, but the dark brown sugar makes the sauce DEEP red- almost maroon.
  • If you want the sauce even sweeter, just add more Honey next time.

LITTLE CAESAR'S PIZZA SAUCE RECIPE - (3.7/5)



Little Caesar's Pizza Sauce Recipe - (3.7/5) image

Provided by jeknudson

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 12 ounce can Hunts tomato paste
1 −1/2 cups water
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon Accent (optional−−−but if you want it exact, use it.)

Steps:

  • Pre−mix oregano, basil, salt, pepper, sugar, garlic powder, onion powder and accent (optional) together and set aside. In a small saucepan, combine tomato paste and water. Over medium high heat, bring to a simmer. Add the pre−mixed spice, stir in well. Reduce heat to low, and simmer 35−40 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover sauce and refrigerate until needed. Makes about 2 1/2 cups.(4 − 12" pizzas)

Tips:

  • Use high-quality tomatoes: San Marzano tomatoes are a popular choice for pizza sauce because they have a low acidity and a rich, sweet flavor. You can also use Roma tomatoes or any other type of ripe, flavorful tomato.
  • Roast the tomatoes: Roasting the tomatoes before making the sauce concentrates their flavor and gives the sauce a smoky, caramelized taste. To roast the tomatoes, simply toss them with olive oil and salt, and then roast them in a preheated oven until they are softened and slightly charred.
  • Use fresh herbs and spices: Fresh basil, oregano, and garlic are classic pizza sauce ingredients that add a lot of flavor. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or red pepper flakes, to taste.
  • Simmer the sauce for a while: Simmering the sauce allows the flavors to meld and develop. Aim to simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes, or longer if you have time.
  • Season the sauce to taste: Once the sauce is done simmering, taste it and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or other spices to taste.

Conclusion:

Making your own pizza sauce is a great way to control the ingredients and the flavor of your pizza. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious pizza sauce that will take your pizza to the next level. So next time you're making pizza, give one of these recipes a try.
