Pizza Sauce
Description
This Pizza Sauce combines drained whole peeled tomatoes and concentrated tomato paste with fresh garlic, extra virgin olive oil, Italian seasoning, sea salt, cane sugar, and freshly ground black pepper. The ingredients are processed until smooth, balancing acidity, sweetness, and herbal notes to create a sauce with fresh yet robust tomato flavor.
The sauce requires no cooking before using; it can be spread directly onto stretched pizza dough before baking. This uncooked approach keeps the sauce bright and fresh while allowing the flavors to meld during the pizza baking process at high heat, resulting in a tasty foundation beneath the cheese and toppings.
Leftover sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days or frozen for up to three months, making it convenient for busy cooks who want homemade flavor ready to go.
