Does anyone make a really good pizza sauce? Mine is always lacking something.Thanks much for your replys.?!
Answers: I buy a seasoned canned pizza sauce.I add garlic,oregano,basil, a pinch of brown sugar.
you have a good recipe...just dont buy pizza sauce...buy tomatoes in a can...i use puree...then add the seasonings you have...im sure its the canned pizza sauce thats making it taste like its lacking...and try a pinch of white sugar instead of brown..brown sugar will just make it sweet...white sugar is designed to cut down on the acidity of the tomatoes
the best pizza sauce that u and me can make is a dream full of best answer, tomato boiled with answers that r best
add a shake of 'season all' and a couple of pinches of pepper - black, white or cayanne (or all three!)
the best i've had in years my lady made+ she used pigs feet . really blew me away , i bought some more pigs feet + plan on canning a whole lot of it .
I use Alfredo sauce not the red sauce..it is easier on the stomach and tastes wonderful.
You could add more spices...but the ingrediant that you don't say is cheese...add parmesan cheese to it...perhaps that is what is lacking!! good luck...
Worked in a pizza joint and found the secret to be tomato sauce (yeah, plain) with basil and garlic powder. The shop won best pizza while I was there......maybe it was me and not the sauce!!!! Simple is best.
Add some onion powder along with your other added ingredients.
i would throw some onions or onion salt in there also, crushed red pepper is a nice flavor!!! use that sauce and make some pizza casserole too...
3 cups corkscrew or rotini pasta cooked and drained
layer in a baking dish with shredded mozzarella, your sauce, and pepperoni... top with a layer of mozz and pepperoni.....soooo good!!!
i found (can't remember where i bought it) a spice grinder jar with pizza seasoning in it. i grind that into canned or jarred (the stuff in a jar is better) and let it sit for a bit to pick up the spices. so yummy! but only when i can't make my own sauce do i do that. the jar just says pizza seasoning and the smell will make your mouth water!
You probably aren't adding enough garlic. Lots and lots and lots of garlic is the key.
This is the pizza sauce I use when I make pizza - you can adjust the amounts to suit your tastes.
Herbed Pizza Sauce
1-3/4 cups (enough for 2 pizzas or 6 servings)
Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 35 minutes
Ingredients
3/4 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil, margarine, or butter
1 14-1/2-ounce can tomatoes, cut up
1 8-ounce can tomato sauce
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon snipped fresh basil or 1 teaspoon dried basil crushed
1 tablespoon snipped fresh oregano or 1 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
1 teaspoon fennel seed, crushed (optional)
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Directions
1. Cook onion and garlic in oil. Stir in remaining ingredients. Bring to boiling. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 35 to 40 minutes or to desired consistency, stirring occasionally. Discard bay leaf. Makes 1-3/4 cups (enough for 2 pizzas or 6 servings).
Hot and Spicy Pizza Sauce: Prepare as above except reduce the chopped onion to 1/2 cup and add 1/2 cup chopped green pepper with onion. Omit bay leaf; add 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper and 1/8 teaspoon chili powder with the remaining ingredients.
use real san marzano tomatoes and if you are not using a real pizza oven, cook them first because a home oven will not get hot enough to make the best sauce unless you cook it first with some garlic, oregano, black pepper. use fresh garlic chopped if you have it also and saute it first in olive oil. there is absolutely no substitute for these tomatoes but the closest otherwise is organic can tomatoes from whole foods market.
Try a sauce made by Stanislaus Tomatoes, an Italian owned company in California. Really good,Comes in a #10 can but after you open it you can break it down into smaller portions in plastic bags and freeze them.
