Last week, I shared my yeast-free pizza crust recipe. Now you’ve got the base and are ready for some sauce.
Pizza sauce is my favorite part of the pizza. In my opinion, it’s what really takes the pizza to the next level. When I was younger, I would actually pick all the cheese off my pizza, just to eat the sauce on the bread. Thankfully, I’ve gotten past that stage. However, I still like a heaping amount of sauce on my pizza, which is why I rarely ever eat alfredo-based pizzas. Sure, they’re kind of amazing and delicious, but there’s just something about the watered-down marinara-y concoction that makes me happy.
Here’s my go-to pizza sauce recipe:
Ingredients:
- 6 oz tomato paste
- 8 oz water
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp oregano
- 1/4 tsp marjoram
- 1/4 tsp basil
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/8 tsp dried red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp sugar
- optional: 1 tsp anchovy paste
Instructions:
- Whisk together all ingredients in bowl.
- Spread half on your favorite pizza crust.
It should be noted that this recipe makes enough sauce for two medium to large pizzas. Every week I make this full recipe, only putting half on the actual crust. I pour the rest in a bag and freeze it for a following week. (I throw a date on it just in case I forget it’s in the freezer and find it later, wondering if it’s still good or not.)
Happy pizza eating!!
What are your favorite pizza toppings?
Which part of the pizza are you most particular about?
Never think of freezing my sauce for future use. Good idea!
Makes life a little easier 🙂
I needed a good pizza sauce recipe, so thank you for that! I don’t put cheese on my pizza (much to my husband’s chagrin/delight (he gets to have it)) so I am allll the veggies and protein.
Oo good for you having a veggie/protein-packed pizza! Hope you like the recipe 🙂
I’ve been looking for a good pizza sauce recipe for a while so I def gonna give this one a try!
Thanks for sharing 🙂
Sounds yummy! Thanks for sharing, I may have to try this out. Pinned it to Pinterest for later.
Perfect, I’ll make sure to make this with the crust recipe. And it seems quite easy to throw together since we have all the ingredients in our pantry. How long does a sauce keep in the freezer?
Your recipe really looks delicious. I’m gonna try this sometime. And thanks for the freezing tip. Never thought of that. It’ll save me a lot of time the next time i make homemade pizza for my kids.
