Pizza sauce
Homemade Pizza Sauce
I’ve been making my own pizza dough now and then, so it seemed like I should be making my own sauce too. I really don’t know why I’ve never done it before now, because it is so easy. I’m not a fan of chunky pizza sauce, but if you are, I think you could easily substitute diced tomatoes for the tomato sauce. This sauce is great on pizza and good for dipping too.
This recipe makes a lot of sauce, so be sure to have some containers to divide it up and freeze some for another time.
(This is the pizza dough recipe I use.)
{one year ago: cranberry almond chicken salad}
Recipe: Pizza Sauce
6 oz. can of tomato paste
29 oz. can of tomato sauce
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. onion powder
2 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
fresh pepper, to taste
Mix all ingredients together until thoroughly combined. Spread on pizza dough when making pizza or warm to use as a dipping sauce.
Mmmm, just this picture of pizza alone makes me hungry for it! =)
I have not yet attempted to make my own pizza or pizza sauce. One of these days I will get around to trying.
Also, I have definitely thought about creating a second blog soley for my green tips. I have a lot of resources in just the two books I am using, for starters, and of course others. Maybe after the month of April is up, I will incorporate less green tips into my recipes and start that second blog! =)
Yum! This pictures makes me want a huge slice of pizza right now. I have never made my own sauce or dough but now I kind of want to try it out. Looks delish!
Thanks for posting this!! looks delish!
next up: homemade mozzarella. :)
I’m with Grace I want to try making my own cheese just not mozzarella. I want creme fraiche and mascarpone. Btw, you guys are still speaking right? I know you had issues in the past. :)
Thanks for the recipe. I’ll let you know.

Emily – I love your green tips and would definitely be a faithful reader of that second blog. Keep up the good work!
Krystle – Thank you. It was so easy, really. I can’t believe I didn’t try it before now.
April – Thanks. : )
Grace – Uh. Hm. I don’t know about that.
Ingrid – Yeah, me and mascarpone kissed and made up. After that lemon mascarpone parfait, I couldn’t stay mad. ; )

Thanks for posting this! I’ve been meaning (for years I guess)to make my own pizza and I always thought it would be fun and simple to make the sauce too. Great idea!
Been using a can of San Marzano tomatoes straight up on my pie. Dump the can into a colander, give them a quick smash to remove a skosh of liquid, then spread right on the dough. Spice if you feel like it, but not necessary. Cheers!
I swear, you just read my mind. I was making a homemade pizza last night with store bought pizza sauce, and thought, “I’m not really into this sauce. I need to start making my own.” And here you are! Thanks!
Yum! I will definitely try this recipe, I’m so sick of storebought pizza sauce.
I know this post is about hte sauce but the pizza looks so good! yum!
