Pizza Sauce Recipe - Incredibly Fresh Tasting
Ingredients
2 14.5 oz. can whole, peeled tomatoes (I like Hunt's®.)
5 cloves garlic
1 tsp. dried oregano leaves
1 tsp. fresh basil leaves
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper

Instructions
Mince the garlic. In a bowl, blend the garlic, the tomatoes and all other ingredients and crush the tomatoes by hand. Or, mince the garlic in a food processor and add the tomatoes and all other ingredients and process until tomatoes are crushed (but not pureed). Spread evenly on pizza dough and add your cheese, pepperoni, etc. This will make enough sauce for two 18" pizzas.

 

YourPizzaPro Tips


Pizza Sauce

Tip 1
    Don't cook the sauce! The tomatoes will cook on the pizza. If you cook the sauce first, you will be double cooking the tomatoes making the sauce appear darker in color and yucky in flavor!

Tip 2
    Always buy whole, peeled tomatoes and crush them yourself. All the best pizzerias do this.





Basic Pizza Dough
Ingredients
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 package active dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon sugar
1 1/4 cups warm water
2 tablespoon blended oil

Instructions
In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, the yeast, sugar, oil and salt. With electric mixer, slowly beat in water; beat 2 minutes, occasionally scraping bowl with rubber spatula. With mixer on medium speed, beat in 1/2 cup flour; beat 2 minutes, until dough is stiff. Stir in 1 1/2 cups flour. Sprinkle clean work surface with 1/4 cup flour. Knead dough. Allow to rise until doubled. Top with your favorite toppings. Makes two 12" pizza crusts. 8 Servings each.
