Notes

ℹī¸ troubleshooting tips

  • too thick or paste-like - if your sauce is too thick and hard to spread, gradually add more water 1 tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency
  • too thin - if your sauce is too watery or thin, you can add more tomato paste 1 tsp at a time.
 

đŸŊī¸ how to use your homemade pizza sauce

  • on pizza - this is the perfect sauce for making homemade pizza, whether you top a classic pizza dough, mini bite-sized pizzas, or even pizza rolls!
  • dipping sauce - this sauce doubles as a dipping sauce for extra pizza crust or pizza bombs! Add a bit more water to make it extra saucy and dippable!
  • freeze it - I love making a whole jar or can of tomato sauce from this recipe and then freezing it for later use. I use these souper cubes trays to freeze them in perfect 2 TBSP portions and two cubes are just the right amount for a standard pizza!
