We love pizza. Because, really, who doesn’t?
There is something special about the way the crust, the sauce, and the toppings all work together to create the finished product. There is virtually no limit to the possible flavor combinations, and it never fails to satisfy.
In the ten years since we’ve been married, we’ve made it a tradition to have pizza on Friday night practically every single week. Over the course of its existence, the crust has undergone a number of transformations, including becoming wheat crust, white wheat crust, sourdough crust, cauliflower crust, coconut flour pizza crust, and even almond flour crust.
It’s possible that the crust will alter, but the sauce will always be the same.
The dough of the pizza is of the utmost significance. It’s what keeps the pizza from falling apart. However, the flavor begins and ends with the sauce. Therefore, we may expect it to be of high quality.
When we order pizza in a restaurant or have it delivered, we always ask for an additional helping of sauce. Why? due to the fact that the sauce is such an essential component of the pizza.
Are we all in agreement that pizza just isn’t “pizza” if there’s no red sauce on it (or if the sauce is watery and watery and thin)?
IN THIS RECIPE FOR TOMATO PASTE PIZZA SAUCE, THE FOLLOWING INGREDIENTS ARE USED:
Tomato paste, preferably organic and containing just one other component, similar to this variety.
This particular variety of salt is fantastic since it retains all of its nutritional value.
Oregano and thyme, both dried out; you may also use Italian spice in place of these two ingredients.
Granulated garlic is another name for garlic powder, which is exactly what it is.
Olive oil – Make sure you use olive oil of a high grade, such as this variety.
White vinegar – You can also use apple cider vinegar.
Tomato paste is just tomatoes that have been pureed and reduced in volume. In this recipe for pizza sauce, as well as in the vast majority of tomato recipes, we utilize tomato paste for a few different reasons.
It results in a flavor that is extraordinarily reminiscent of tomatoes.
Tomatoes are the sole component of tomato paste, as is generally the case. This indicates that there are no additional preservatives, as well as no sugars or salts.
It has a remarkable consistency. You could thin it out with some water if you wanted to, but the consistency works really well as a base for a tasty pizza sauce.
You could use tomato sauce or diced tomatoes instead of whole tomatoes if you only have those options available. However, I would suggest that you reduce the amount that they are by cooking them. If not, the consistency of the sauce would be too runny. Soggy pizza is absolutely not great.
This is the tomato paste that we put in our tomatoes. The only component listed is “organic tomatoes,” indicating that the product adheres to organic standards. Costco is where we get ours, but if you’d rather purchase it elsewhere, you can find it right here on Amazon.
The consistency of spaghetti sauce is typically thinner, and it frequently contains onions that have been cooked. You might use spaghetti sauce as a substitute for pizza sauce if you’re in a pinch; however, I would advise you to boil the sauce for a while in order to make it a little bit more thick.
If you top your pizza with a sauce that is thin and watery, the dough WILL become soggy. To say I’m not a fan of soggy pizza is an understatement!!!! Additionally, pay close attention to the components that make up the spaghetti sauce that you are using. A lot of them have additional sugars, which aren’t necessarily required to make a good sauce, but many of them do.
Some of the recipes for pizza sauce that can be found on the internet call for sugar to be added so that it can be sweetened. When you begin with tomato paste, there is no need to use any additional sugar in my opinion because the tomato paste itself is already quite sweet. Give it a shot, and tell me what you think about it.
Are you going to make pizza for a big group? No issue. This recipe for pizza sauce is very adaptable and may easily be doubled or even quadrupled. This recipe, as written, produces enough sauce to cover one 10″ pizza with a thick layer of sauce, or two 10″ pizzas with a thinner layer of sauce each.
If you have any surplus sauce, you can either freeze it (for further information regarding this topic, continue reading below), or you may use it to dip your pizza crust in (like a marinara sauce).
Would it be possible to freeze this pizza sauce? Yes! Please do. It would not be difficult for you to prepare pizza sauce in large quantities, divide it into smaller portions, and store it in the freezer for later use. These mason jars with the broad mouth are some of my favorites to use. When freezing food in mason jars, a tip that I’ve found helpful is to keep the lid a tiny bit ajar. This prevents the jars from cracking under the weight of the pressure. After it has been frozen, you can return and screw the cover on even more tightly.
HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE PIZZA SAUCE WITH TOMATO PASTE?

To get the most nutritional value out of your pizza, make it from scratch rather than buying it frozen. YOU decide which ingredients are included and which are left out of the mix.

There aren’t many things that can top the experience of sharing a homemade pizza with your loved ones while sitting around the dinner table.
Choose a recipe for a delicious crust. Here is a recipe for a delicious pizza crust made with almond flour, and here is a recipe for a pizza crust made with coconut flour that you will absolutely adore. According to our research, an excellent pizza crust may be made with virtually any item serving as the base (even cauliflower). Do a search on Google for a crust that can be created using the ingredients you already have.
Make sure you use a lot of sauce. As I mentioned before, my family and I are big supporters of piling a TON of tomato sauce on top of our pizza.
Although mozzarella is the most commonly used cheese for pizza, this does not mean that you are restricted to using only mozzarella on your pizza. We have tried both blue cheese and cheddar cheese, as well as going cheeseless at times (or vegan cheese).
Before layering the sauce on top of the crust, our preferred method is to first bake the crust for a few minutes in the oven. This helps the middle of the dough become more solid and prevents us from having a situation where the pizza is too soggy.
After the middle of the crust has become firm, spread on the sauce, then arrange the cheese and toppings in layers atop it, and place the dish back in the oven until the cheese has melted.
And for dessert?
Serve up some of this Avocado Chocolate Pudding, which only requires three ingredients. Avocados & chocolate? What? Believe what I say about this. You won’t be let down in any way.
