Instructions:

1. Get the tomatoes ready:

If using whole peeled tomatoes, split them up into tiny pieces using a fork or your clean hands. To capture any juice, do this in a bowl.

2. Sauté the garlic:

Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Garlic powder should be added and sautéed until aromatic but not browned.

3. Include Dried Tomatoes:

Add all of the crushed San Marzano tomatoes—including their juice—to the pot.

Add some spice.

Add the salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, dried oregano, and dried basil (if using). Mix everything together.

4. Reduce:

Over medium-low heat, gently simmer the sauce. Lower the temperature to ensure a continuous simmer.

5. Cooking Period:

To give the flavors time to blend, boil the sauce for a minimum of half an hour. Stir from time to time.

6. Modify the seasoning:

Adjust the seasoning after tasting the sauce. To balance the flavors, add a teaspoon of sugar if the tomatoes are too acidic.

7. Mix (Optional):

Blend the sauce right in the saucepan with an immersion blender for a smoother consistency. Or put the sauce in a blender and purée it until it's smooth.

8. Last check:

Taste again and adjust the salt, pepper, or other seasonings as needed.

9. Chill and Store:

Before using the sauce on pizza, let it cool. Any leftover sauce can be kept in the fridge for a few days in a sealed container.

10. use on pizza:

Before adding your preferred toppings, cover the pizza dough with the real Italian pizza sauce.

The flavor of authentic Italian pizza sauce is usually light and fresh, letting the San Marzano tomatoes' excellence take center stage. Adapt the seasonings to your own personal preferences.
