Pizza Sauce

♥ PIZZA♥ 

Seriously, I could eat pizza every week, even multiple times a week.  Our budget does not allow that, so I try to make pizza a couple times a month.  For years I tried various recipes.  Some were okay; some were good.  I finally found a great recipe for pizza dough.  We have also learned that what you put on that dough matters!  First, it is definitely best to use homemade pizza sauce!  It is also important to shred your own mozzarella cheese.  We buy blocks that are NOT low-moisture.

Today, I will share my super easy pizza sauce.  Since each pizza only needs a few tablespoons of sauce, I freeze the sauce in baggies after making a batch.  (If you decide to do the same, make sure you let the sauce cool completely.)

Pizza Sauce                                                                

2 cans tomato paste (6 oz each)
2 cups water
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt & pepper to taste

Mix together all ingredients in sauce pan.  Bring mixture to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes.  Cool before topping pizza.  Use much less sauce than you think you need.  You should be able to see some of your pizza dough through the sauce.

What's your favorite pizza topping?  Mine is cheese!
