Homemade pizza sauce is easy to make and better than most ready made sauces that you can easily buy. The two primary items that make a delicious homemade pizza are the pizza dough and the pizza sauce. If either of these two does not taste as it should, there is no way you would have a pizza that tastes good.
I have been making pizza for many years and have worked in an Italian pizzeria for five years and after all that experience, I have developed my own secret homemade pizza sauce recipe and I will share it here with you (I guess it won’t be much of a secret anymore). It is absolutely delicious and besides using it as a pizza sauce, you can use it for many other dishes including pasta. Not sure if you’ve noticed, but not many pizza chefs share their pizza sauce recipe.
Once you have made this sauce for the first time, you will be making it for just about everything you like to have a delicious red sauce with. Simple ingredients, easy to make and the result is a very tasty sauce.

To start making the pizza sauce, sauté diced onions in one tablespoon of vegetable oil on medium heat until they turn translucent.
Add chopped garlic and stir until they become soft.
Add two tablespoons of tomato puree and stir until they get mixed with the onions and garlic.
Add tomato juice and turn the temperature to high.
Next, add salt, pepper, sugar, dried oregano, dried basil and bay leaves.
Cover and cook on low heat for forty minutes until the sauce is reduced and becomes thick. Add one tablespoon of olive oil and mix well. Remove the three bay leaves.
You will now have a delicious aromatic homemade pizza sauce. Let the sauce cool down completely before you can use it on your homemade pizza. This sauce is good to refrigerate for three days. You can also divide it into portion size (fifty grams) and freeze it in sealed containers or freezer bags.
