Homemade pizza sauce recipe

Homemade pizza sauce- Whenever we want to make pizza at home we often buy the pizza sauce from the market, largely because of the misconception that store brought sauce is tastier and making the sauce at home is difficult or time taking.

As the crust and vegetables are usually bland or very light in taste ,the main taste of pizza is from the sauce and if you make this sauce at home you can adjust the taste and spiciness according to your taste.

The pizza sauce available in the market  have a good amount of food colors and preservative and as homemade pizza sauce is made fresher so it is healthier and tastier and is very cheaper as compared to the store brought ones. I always make pizza base and pizza sauce at home.

Making Pizza sauce is very easy,you just need fresh ripe red tomatoes and the basic Italian herbs which we use for making pizza. The process is almost like making the tomato gravy we usually make at home. The important thing is to balance the flavours and to cook it to the right consistency,too thick or too thin sauce will not work properly,either it will not absorb in the base or will make it too soggy. So do careful about this and you will make an awesome sauce easily at home .
