Homemade Pizza Sauce
Description
This homemade pizza sauce combines a 28-ounce can of crushed tomatoes with a selection of dried Italian seasonings and spices, including basil, oregano, and garlic salt, along with paprika for depth and a touch of sugar to balance acidity. Onion powder and black pepper add background flavoring. The ingredients are simply stirred together until evenly mixed.
The sauce requires no cooking or simmering, allowing for quick assembly and use. It can be spooned directly onto pizza dough for immediate topping before baking. The texture remains smooth with small tomato fragments characteristic of crushed canned tomatoes.
Ideal for homemade pizzas, this sauce offers a straightforward way to impart herbaceous tomato flavor that complements various toppings and cheeses.
Leftover sauce can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to five days or frozen for three to six months, maintaining freshness and convenience for future use.
