Hello, hello. It’s great to be back. I have been waiting forever to share this amazing recipe with you.
Listen, I know homemade pizza. We’ve been making homemade pizza every Friday night for years. Several years ago I landed on my favorite pizza dough recipe, which I shared on the blog. Along with the doubled recipe (which we most often use–cooked pizza freezes GREAT to warm up later). I shared our favorite toppings and baking tips so you too can be an expert pizza maker at home.
I’ve tried dozens of pizza sauce recipes over the years. Some I stuck with for quite a while because they were pretty good. But I never stopped looking for the pizza sauce of my dreams.
Until now. I would like to announce that I am no longer looking for the perfect pizza sauce recipe, my friends.
This is it.
Why you need this sauce in your life
This pizza sauce is packed full of flavor. Adding plenty of delicious seasonings is the secret. It calls for Italian or pizza seasoning so be sure to use one that you love the flavor of. My favorite is the Tuscan sunset seasoning blend from Penzey’s.
Nice and thick, this pizza sauce spreads well but doesn’t make your crust soggy. There is no room for soggy-crust-homemade-pizza in my life anymore.
This sauce comes together fast! It whips together in under ten minutes; probably closer to five if you’re keeping track.
Okay now that I have you convinced, are you ready to make it?
How to make the best pizza sauce
Start by mixing tomato sauce and tomato paste in a bowl.
Then add the seasonings and stir until mixed.
And that’s it!
There is no cooking needed.
Just spread the pizza sauce on the dough and you’re ready to bake.
And just in case the recipe makes more than you need, don’t worry! It freezes great for later. Just seal it up in a Ziploc freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months.
I can’t wait to hear back on your delicious pizza creations using this delicious sauce. Enjoy, my friends.
