Pizza Sauce
Dec 30, 2011Posted by guestchefPrintYou can use canned San Marzano tomatoes (Pomodori Pellati) to create a wonderful, and simple pizza tomato base. Use a potato masher to get a good sauce consistency. Don’t use a food processor or hand mixer, as those will break the seeds and give your sauce a bitter flavor. If you are using a brick oven, you should not cook the sauce. The hot oven will cook the sauce perfectly. If you are using a Pizza Stone in your oven, you might want to try cooking the sauce first. Try it both ways to see what you like.
