Basic Pizza Sauce

For sauce I keep it super simple. Source the best canned tomatoes you can find. My favorite are Bianco DiNapoli Whole Peeled Tomatoes. if you are NOT using Bianco DiNapoli I recommend draining the tomatoes in a colander reserving the liquid for another use

PRO TIP: Avoid applying cold sauce to your dough. The cold sauce may result in the dough not fully baking through and nobody likes raw dough!

Equipment

  • Immersion Blender

Ingredients

  • 28 oz Whole Peeled Tomatoes
  • 1 pinch Salt to taste

Instructions

  • Add whole tomatoes (drained if necessary) to a 1-quart deli container. For a smooth sauce being by pulsing with an immersion blender to break up the tomatoes, blend till smooth. For a more rustic sauce just get in there with your hands! Don't be shy, crush 'em till you like 'em! The deli will help keep tomato splatter from getting all over the place (you hope). Season to taste with additional salt. That's it! Use the best tomatoes you can find! Best used immediately or within the next few days.
