perfect tomato sauce for pizza

: bohemiancoast; December 13th, 2009

OK, I've cooked mine now for tonight. For future reference, how would you make a perfect tomato sauce for homemade pizza? The pizza will probably also have mozzarella, perhaps some other cheese, mushrooms and pepperoni. Italians particularly welcome.

I just take half a carton of passata and simmer it for ten minutes with salt (if it's unsalted passata), pepper, dried oregano and fresh basil. Seems to work pretty well.

I fry a bit of onion in olive oil, add a tin of chopped peeled tomatoes and simmer til it reduces and thickens a bit. Can also add garlic when you fry the onion, and/or parsley and basil right at the end of the simmering, before it goes on the pizza.

Mine's a lot like that, but with added tom puree, sugar and salt, plus water, and a long simmer.

Wait, for pizza, you need to talk to a Chicagoan.

The trick is you don't use sauce. You put the ingredients that would be a sauce on the pizza and let the baking create the sauce for you.

Ooh that's a nice idea!
