Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Sauce Ingredients

  • 1 15-oz can tomato sauce
  • 1 6-oz can tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic (jarred)
  • Water, as needed (about 1 tablespoon per use)


Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, stir together the tomato sauce, tomato paste, dried oregano, dried basil, paprika, onion powder, sugar, and minced garlic until thoroughly mixed.
  2. Adjust Consistency: If the sauce is too thick for your liking, gradually add water one tablespoon at a time, stirring after each addition, until you reach the desired consistency.
  3. Apply to Pizza Dough: Use a ladle or spoon to spread the sauce evenly over your prepared pizza dough. This recipe yields about 2 and 2/3 cups, enough to cover 3 to 5 small 12-inch pizzas, depending on how much sauce you prefer on each.

Notes

  • This sauce requires no cooking, making it quick and convenient for last-minute pizza preparations.
  • The recipe yields approximately 2 2/3 cups of sauce, sufficient for 3 to 5 small pizzas depending on your sauce preference.
  • Adjust the amount of water to control the thickness of your sauce.
  • For a fresher garlic taste, you can substitute minced fresh garlic but adjust quantities as fresh garlic is stronger.
  • Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
