My Best Pizza Sauce
This pizza sauce will beat any you get from the store and any you’ll have on a chain restaurant pizza. It is easy, robust, a little zesty, and comes together in about 20 minutes.
Ingredients
- 28 oz whole peeled tomatoes san marzano or similar
- 2 cloves garlic pressed or minced
- 20 grams olive oil
- 15 grams sugar
- 9 grams sea salt
- 0.4 grams dried oregano
- 0.3 grams red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Empty the 28 oz whole peeled tomatoes into a large bowl and squish them with your hands to break them up into very small pieces. Something about this process is very satisfying. Believe me. Set aside.
- Measure your 15 grams sugar, 9 grams sea salt, 0.3 grams red pepper flakes and 0.4 grams dried oregano and set aside.
- Add your 20 grams olive oil to a large pot over medium heat. Sautee the 2 cloves garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
- Dump your tomatoes, sugar, salt, oregano, and red pepper flakes in and combine.
- Bring the pot to a simmer and simmer until reduced and thickened to your liking, about 15-20 minutes, stirring occassionally. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
