Ingredients
- 14 oz Canned crushed tomatoes (San Marzano preferred)
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 1 tsp Dried basil
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.25 tsp Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the canned crushed tomatoes and olive oil. Stir gently to blend.
Add the minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, sugar, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Stir until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
If you enjoy a bit of heat, sprinkle in the crushed red pepper flakes and mix well.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings if needed. Add more salt or sugar for balance if the tomatoes are particularly acidic.
Once the sauce is well-compounded, let it sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Spread the sauce evenly on your pizza dough or crust, add your favorite toppings, and bake according to your pizza recipe. This yields a perfectly smooth and flavorful base for any pizza style.
Store any unused sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
