Pizza Sauce

I taught a class on how to make homemade pizza at Church last night and thought I'd better post my recipe for pizza sauce for those who will be looking for it on here. I should mention that I typically just throw the spices in without measuring them, but for those who feel a little more comfortable following a recipe with actual measurements I did my best to estimate the amounts of each spice that I use.


Pizza Sauce
1 - 6 oz can tomato paste
6 oz water (use the empty tomato paste can to measure)
1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp basil
1/4 tsp oregano

Combine the tomato paste and water until well mixed. Add the rest of the ingredients and spread over dough.

This makes enough to cover 2 pizza's.

*Note: If you're only making 1 pizza you can freeze the rest.

*Note: This can also be used as a dipping sauce for your pizza or breadsticks.

Garlic Dipping Sauce

If you like Papa John's garlic dipping sauce (which at our house we do), then you'll love this! And it doesn't get any easier! It's perfect for breadsticks, or pizza!

Garlic Dipping Sauce
1/2 cup margarine or butter
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Partially melt the margarine / butter and then mix in the garlic powder.

*Note: It works really well if you use a container or jar with a lid so you can shake it.

Enjoy!
