Homemade Pizza Sauce Recipe
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 anchovy fillets
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh oregano leaves
  • 1 (28 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes (preferably San Marzano), crushed
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon white sugar
  • 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper
  • salt to taste
  • 1 pinch baking soda
Instructions
1
Initiate the cooking process by warming oil in a saucepan over a moderate, low-heat setting. Introduce anchovy fillets into the pan and cook, frequently stirring the mixture, until they start to emit a sizzling sound, approximately 1 minute. Incorporate minced garlic into the pan and cook just until its aroma becomes apparent, roughly 1 minute. Introduce fresh oregano leaves into the pan and lower the heat to a minimal setting; cook until the herbs have lost their crispness, around 2-3 minutes.
2
Next, add diced tomatoes, pepper flakes, and dried oregano to the saucepan. Gradually bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Season with sugar, black pepper, and salt; further reduce the heat to a low setting and allow the sauce to thicken and rise to the surface, approximately 35-40 minutes. Periodically stir the sauce during this time.
3
Once the desired consistency is achieved, incorporate baking soda into the sauce and ensure it is fully incorporated.
