Homemade Pizza Sauce
Description
The pizza sauce combines tomato sauce and paste for a concentrated yet smooth tomato flavor. Garlic paste adds savory depth, while oregano, basil, paprika, and a touch of sugar round out the flavor profile. Red pepper flakes introduce mild heat, and salt, black pepper, and onion powder season the sauce for balance.
Whisking the ingredients brings the sauce to an even consistency, and taste adjustments can be made to suit preference, such as adding more salt or spice. The sauce is expected to cover around two large 12-inch pizzas per batch, providing adequate coverage without excess.
The sauce stores well, lasting about one week in the refrigerator sealed airtight and up to two months in the freezer. Substitutions for garlic paste include finely minced fresh garlic, and combined Italian seasoning can replace individual dried herbs if desired.
Ingredients
- 15 ounces tomato sauce
- 6 ounces tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon oregano dried
- 1 teaspoon basil dried
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- To a medium bowl or large measuring cup, add all ingredients and whisk together.
- Taste sauce and if needed, add additional salt, red pepper flakes, etc. if desired and to taste.
- Use as desired. I anticipate you can easily cover two large 12-inch pizzas with one batch of this sauce, but your mileage may vary.
- Sauce will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 1 week and in the freezer for up to 2 months.
Notes
- If garlic paste is unavailable, finely mince fresh garlic cloves equivalent to 1 tablespoon for a similar flavor.
- Alternatively, replace the oregano and basil with 2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning to simplify ingredients.
- Store airtight in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 2 months to maintain freshness.
