Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 (15 oz) can crushed tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp fine sea salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes
  • Optional: ½ tsp sugar

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk the crushed tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and any optional ingredients until blended.
  2. Taste and adjust salt or sugar as needed, then whisk again.
  3. Cover and let the sauce rest at room temperature for at least 15 minutes. Spoon onto pizza dough and spread evenly.

Notes

For the best flavor, let the sauce rest the full 15 minutes before using. If your tomatoes are very thick, thin the sauce with a tablespoon of water.
