You can omit if you don't like a slightly sweeter sauce.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Onion &amp; garlic<\/strong> - Cooked gently to form a fragrant, savoury base that builds flavour right from the start.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Oregano<\/strong> - A classic Italian herb that gives the sauce its familiar, pizzeria-style aroma and flavour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fresh basil<\/strong> - Stirred in at the end for a fresh, slightly peppery lift that brightens the entire sauce.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Onion powder &amp; garlic powder<\/strong> - Enhance and deepen the overall flavour, layering in extra savoury notes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Olive oil spray<\/strong> - A light way to saut\u00e9 the onions and garlic without adding too much oil, keeping the sauce lighter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Salt &amp; pepper<\/strong> - Essential for seasoning and balancing all the flavours.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you've gathered all the ingredients and prepared them accordingly, you're all set to create this easy and delightful recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>See the recipe card for specific quantities and instructio<\/strong>ns<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 id=\"making-a-bigger-batch-freezing-tips\"   class=\"wp-block-heading\">Making a Bigger Batch &amp; Freezing Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This pizza sauce is perfect for batch cooking-simply double, triple, or even quadruple the recipe to stock your freezer with a delicious, homemade option ready whenever the craving strikes. The flavours only deepen as it cooks, so making a larger quantity is just as easy and even more rewarding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the sauce has cooled completely, portion it out into small freezer-friendly containers or zip-lock bags, ideally in amounts just right for one or two pizzas. Flattening bags before freezing not only saves space but also helps the sauce defrost quickly. When you're ready to use it, simply thaw a portion in the fridge overnight or gently reheat from frozen on the hob. It's a brilliant time-saver for busy weeknights or last-minute pizza plans.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1801\" data-pin-description=\"This homemade pizza sauce is rich, smooth, and bursting with deep tomato flavour\u2014just the thing to elevate your next pizza night.

It's the same dough I use for my<a href=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/garlic-greek-yoghurt-naan-bread\"> <strong>Garlic Greek Yoghurt Naan<\/strong><\/a>, but instead you roll the dough out into one large pizza base or two smaller ones, ready to be topped with your favourite sauce and toppings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For pizza night, you then just skip the garlic butter and coriander used in the naan version. Instead, shape the dough, bake it until lightly golden before adding toppings, and enjoy a lighter, fuss-free base that pairs beautifully with the richness of homemade pizza sauce. Ideal for quick dinners or when you're craving pizza without the wait.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 id=\"recipes-to-use-this-pizza-sauce\"   class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recipes to Use This Pizza Sauce<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you've made a batch of this flavour-packed pizza sauce, put it to good use with these easy, delicious recipes that let it shine-whether you're keeping things classic or getting a little creative.
