Homemade Pizza Sauce
Description
The Homemade Pizza Sauce recipe combines canned tomato paste and tomato sauce as its foundation, enriched with herbs like Italian seasoning and oregano. Garlic and onion powders add depth, while a touch of sugar balances the acidity of the tomatoes. The optional red pepper flakes provide mild heat, contributing a subtle kick.
This sauce has a smooth consistency suitable for spreading evenly on pizza dough. Its flavor profile supports a range of toppings by contributing savory, herby notes without overpowering them. The mixture needs no cooking, offering a quick preparation.
Recipe quantities yield a large batch that can be halved optionally. Leftover sauce stores well refrigerated for one to two weeks or frozen for up to three months, providing convenience for future use. It is versatile enough to double as a dipping sauce.

Notes
- The recipe produces a large amount of sauce; halving all ingredients is recommended if less is needed.
