Sauce Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients needed for the pizza sauce.

  2. 2

    Cook the Garlic

    In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Add canned crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, black pepper, and sugar to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.

  4. 4

    Simmer the Sauce

    Bring the sauce to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and let it cook for about 20-30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

  5. 5

    Adjust Seasoning

    Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or sugar to balance the acidity.

  6. 6

    Cool and Store

    Once done, let the sauce cool before using it on your pizza or storing it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
