while you can easily get hundreds of option in a store, but it cannot match the content of preparing a homemade pizza sauce. to be honest, i was always, huge fan of domino’s veg pizza. until one day, when i realised how easy is to prepare pizza sauce. i knew preparing pizza is an easy task, but was always skeptical about pizza sauce recipe. i even use the same pizza sauce recipe in pasta, spaghetti and lasagna. i use the same sauce to prepare pizzas in oven and also pizzas on tawa or stove top.
furthermore some important tips for a perfect homemade pizza sauce recipe. firstly, use always red ripe tomatoes for sauce. it would give a good color and sweet taste to the sauce. secondly, any tomatoes should be fine for preparing sauce recipe. however for authentic taste, i would san marzano tomatoes which are comparatively more sweet and meatier compared to others. lastly, store the sauce in a air tight container in fridge for long shelf life.
