PIZZA SAUCE
This sauce is great to have on standby in the freezer for when you want to whip up a pizza. It makes quite a large batch, I freeze small amounts in snaplock bags.
Ingredients:-
4 (425g) tomatoes (diced)
2 cloves garlic
4 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons brown sugar
Chop garlic 10secs on speed 7
Place all ingredients in TM bowl and cook on Veroma for 20 mins speed 1

Great idea - thanks ;D ;D

Bought a bag of cheap tomatoes at the market today so that I could make a batch of this pizza sauce - I doubled the quantity, cooked it 10 minutes longer then blitzed it. Will freeze the lot in little bags until I want them. Great idea.

Hi Judy,
Glad you liked the recipe. Makes heaps doesn't it, but tastes so much better than the packaged kind you buy in the supermarket

Thanks Trudy. Since Daughter won a pizza maker a couple of years ago Saturday night is pizza night. So tomorrow night I will try your recipe. We will then have everything home made. The pizza bases in the book are lovely. :D
-
Do the tomatoes need to be peeled?
-
I didn't peel mine, too much trouble. After blitzing you can just pick out any obvious pieces of skin quite easily, especially once you have spread it over the pizza base.
-
Hi Bron,
Like Judy I don't peel mine for this sauce. Enjoy!!!

Thanks, will try but without the tomato paste as we don't have that here. Don't suppose you can check the ingredients in the paste, in case there is something else that I could add to make out for the missing ingredient! ???
-
I would just use double the quantity of a tomato sauce or ketchup and you will have to cook it longer so that it reduces. Or perhaps use tomato puree instead of the sauce. Any suggestions from other readers?
-
Well we had our pizzas last night and I made the sauce for it. It was very nice, but possibly a little sweet for our taste. Therefore the next batch won't have the quantity of sugar in it. I might even try a bit of basil this time.
Thanks for the recipe. :D

Lo siento Bron, missed this thread. The tomato pastes here are concentrated tomato ( many say "Tipo Italiano triplo concentrato") so just something to really strengthen the flavour - as judydawn says - tomato ketchup would be OK.
You could make some paste by blitzing tomatoes and cooking for a long time until they are about 1/3 of their original volume ;) ;) and then freezing little bags or ice cube trays as I do.

Maybe it's a "language difference sort of thing" ... but what is meant by the term I often read: "blitzing"?
Thanks!

Blitzing in this instance means to turn the tomatoes into mush by turning the speed dial to high. If we say to blitz some onions eg and you want them chunky, you would only blitz for a few seconds on speed 5. Hope this explains our funny way of talking onceuponabimby. You will get used to all the terminology but may need to ask lots of questions in the meantime ??? ???

Sorry, must be an Australian term :-*

Made this sauce a couple of nights ago, and it was extremely good. My batch was sufficient for 2 x 38cm pizzas. (Halved the sugar as per a suggestion).
-
Glad you liked it.
-
How about dried tomatoes instead of paste ?
-
I had some tomatoes in the cold already quite mature!
I took them to make this sauce.
I added some fresh basilicum leaves and cut a little sugar!
Great stuff!
I will only use it next Friday - I will keep it in a tightly closed jar in the fridge!
Thanks for sharing

Hi Isi,
This sauce freezes very well. I put just what I need for two pizzas into snaplock bags, label and freeze then I always have some when time is short.

Hi trudy :)
As promised - on Friday I used this sauce on our pizza!
We loved it!
Thanks for sharing :-* :-* :-*

Love the double decker pizza trays Isi. Haven't seen them before
-
It is great!
There are 3 pieces that fit for the two forms!
I found this by chance in the Supermarket!
It is so wonderful pizzas may cook only on the grid since the forms are stuck!
-
Your pictures are lovely isi. This one reminds me that I haven't cooked pizzas for months now - so many new recipes to try. I woke at 1.30am the other morning, wide awake so got out all my print outs of TMX recipes and others which need to be converted and sat in bed until 3.45am sorting through and picking out things I want to make over the next couple of months. Now I just go to that new file and choose something to try unless I am in a hurry, then I do something from my TMX recipe folder which I've done before.
-
Great job Isi!
Trudy
-
I love the two storey pizza trays too. Brilliant idea. Your pizzas look delicious.
-
Good work Isi - they look fantastic
-
I am definitely going to try this next week =D
Sounds amazing and i am so impressed with my tomato sauce that i made.... I had been putting a layer of tomato paste on the base and putting my tomato sauce over the top!
Will be great to have one to spread on by itself! Im obsessed with home made pizza! its just soooo tasty!
Just last week i put together a pine nut, sultanas, red onion and corn pizza and it was AMAZING!
Thanks for the recipe :D
-
I agree this sauce is amazing, the pizza tasted soo good last night, it looked nice as well, best thing about it was that everything from grating my cheese to making the dough and sauce was done in one bowl with no in between washing, I only had to use a chopping board for my peppers onion and salami. Here's the photo.

Glad you enjoyed it!!!
