Classic Pizza Sauce
Simplicity at its finest, our super easy, no-nonsense Classic
Pizza Sauce creates the perfect complement for layering up
your pizza toppings of choice.
Made using a stovetop (hob) rather than in your Ooni, this
recipe is an excerpt from our cookbook, Ooni: Cooking with
Fire. Choosing good quality tomatoes will make a dierence
to the flavor of your sauce - we like to go for canned San
Marzano tomatoes, which are the traditional choice for
Neapolitan pizzas.
Method
Place the oil in a pan over a medium heat. When warm, add
the garlic and fry until softened but not brown.
Add all the remaining ingredients, then simmer on a low
heat for 20 minutes, or until the flavor has deepened and
the sauce has thickened slightly.
This sauce can be used straight away, or placed in an
airtight container and stored in the fridge for up to a week,
ready to be used as required.
