Pizza Sauce Recipe ,How to Make Pizza Sauce

Homemade pizza sauce recipe

Whenever we want to make pizza at home we often buy the pizza sauce from the market, largely because of the misconception that store brought sauce is tastier and making the sauce at home is difficult or time taking.

As the crust and vegetables are usually bland or very light in taste ,the main taste of pizza is from the pizza sauce and if you make pizza sauce at home you can adjust the taste and spiciness according to your taste.

The pizza sauce available in the market  have a good amount of food colors and preservative and as homemade pizza sauce is made fresher so it is healthier and tastier and is very cheaper as compared to the store brought ones. I always make pizza base and pizza sauce at home,will post the recipe of pizza soon
