Notes
If you are using a good quality tomato product there is no need to add sugar to the recipe as many recipes call for. Adding sugar would not be very authentic either in my opinion. Another win for this sauce as it has no added sugar!
Make sure the pizza sauce is at room temperature before using it on pizza dough. The cold sauce will shock the freshly risen dough and potentially interfere with the fluffy rise when baking.
This sauce yields a total of 2 ½ cups of pizza sauce.
