Pizza Essentials The Ultimate Sweet Pizza Sauce Food

PIZZA ESSENTIALS: THE ULTIMATE SWEET PIZZA SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. PREP/PREPARE
• 2. A good solid saucepan, without any hotspots, is essential to this recipe.
• 3. What gives this sauce its unique flavor is not just the honey, but the proper cooking of the tomato paste. We are going to cook it, almost to the point of caramelization. One minute it will be nice and brown, and the next it will be a burned mess. Once that process is started, you will never leave the pan unattended.
• 4. One of my favorite brands of tomatoes is Cento. I think that they have the perfect balance of tomato flavors to compliment this recipe.
• 5. Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
• 6. Add the olive oil to a saucepan, over medium-low heat.
• 7. When the oil heats up, add the chopped garlic.
• 8. Cook until it turns a golden brown, about 2 - 3 minutes.
• 9. Use a strainer to remove the garlic from the oil, and then return the oil to the saucepan.
• 10. Add the tomato paste, and red-pepper flakes, if using.
• 11. Raise the heat to medium, and cook until the tomato paste begins to turn brown, and almost caramelizes, about 5 - 7 minutes.
• 12. Add the tomatoes, dehydrated onions, basil, oregano, and parsley.
• 13. Bring up to a light boil, then lower the heat, and lightly simmer for 20 - 30 minutes.
• 14. Chef's Note: Give the sauce a swirl with a spoon, about every minute or so.
• 15. Remove from the heat, and add the honey, and salt, to taste.
• 16. Add to a blender or food processor, and blend until smooth.
• 17. Allow to completely cool, place in a jar, with a tight-fitting lid, and place in the fridge until needed.
• 18. PLATE/PRESENT
• 19. Use whenever you are looking for an awesome, slightly sweet pizza sauce. Enjoy.
• 20. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

• Tips:.
• Freeze leftover sauce until ready to use; When using on pizza dough, thaw to room temperature; Thaws nicely in the microwave.
• Don't use too much pepper.
• You can mince a baby carrot in the garlic press after microwaving it for 5-10 seconds- just cut it in half before putting it through the press- and that equals about 1/2 Tablespoon.
• Either Light or Dark Brown Sugar is fine, but the dark brown sugar makes the sauce DEEP red- almost maroon.
• If you want the sauce even sweeter, just add more Honey next time.
