Pizza Sauce

Pizza sauce is one of the main ingredients used in making pizzas. It has all the Italian herbs that helps in enhancing the flavour. I learnt this recipe in my cooking class where I used tomato puree to make this recipe. But I made slight modification and used fresh tomatoes and found it to be better in taste. But it is always better to go for fresh tomato puree if you have less time. This sauce can be used in making pizza, calzones and even I made dosai pizza which tasted delicious. You can store this for 3 days.
