Homemade Pizza Sauce

During the summer, we like to cook our pizza on the grill. This pizza sauce has a kick, so if that’s not your thing, you can tone down this recipe a notch by reducing the pepper (either the crushed red or the black or both). I tend to think the red has more heat, but a better flavor. Mess with it as you will.


Recipe Highlights

If you’re out of any of the herbs, try to increase the Italian seasoning by the same ratio. You will still get a great sauce. If you’re lacking in the minced garlic, try replacing it with garlic powder. It’s a pretty versatile and forgiving recipe.

If you would like to follow along as I prepare the dough and sauce, and grill the pizza, check out the Twisted Tastes YouTube channel.
