Italian Pizza sauce

Every time I ate pizza outside,I paid attention to the sauce along with the crust and barring 2 or 3 places I realized the pizza sauce mostly tasted the same everywhere,there was never any flavor that stood out for me. I wanted to change this,people always talk about the crust and mostly pay attention to either the topping or the crust ,but I feel a large part of how a pizza tastes lies in the sauce. Whether it is tomato sauce or pesto or anything else for that matter.

  So for this sauce, I choose to chop the  tomato's,and slow cooked them to a fine puree. Running tomato's in the food processor crushes the seeds which in turn alters the taste of the sauce,making it slightly bitter. This sauce  I made turned out mildly spicy and I added little honey to combat that.So the outcome was a sweet and sour  sauce with a tad bit of kick from the cayenne and some garlic powder and 1 crushed garlic clove along with the herbs. The sauce tasted incredible and the consistency was easy to spread on the thin pie without making the pie gooey. I rolled out the dough on a floured surface and then transferred this pie on the parchment paper,then spread the sauce and the toppings,so I could just slide the parchment paper onto the preheated stone in the oven. After the first couple minutes I removed the parchment paper from underneath the pizza and let the pizza cook directly on the pizza stone.

Make this sauce at home and add pizzaz to your pizza :)

Take a pan ,heat 1 tbsp olive oil and when hot add the crushed garlic.Saute it till it browns a little then add the rest of the ingredinets except sour cream. Cook till the tomatos turn into a fine puree and the sweet aroma from all the herbs and spices fills up your kitchen.
