Pizza Base Recipe

Until now I've been making a quick and simple pizza base mix from tomato puree, chilli sauce and garlic ketchup. This recipe is fine if you're after an quick and easy option but if you're prepared to spend a little bit more time then here's how to improve your pizza base sauce, it's cheap, simple and well worth the effort.

Homemade PIzza Quick and Easy Pizza Base Sauce

It couldn't be any easier.

You'll need a small onion, tin of chopped tomatoes and some optional extras.

Step 1: Take 1 small or half a large onion, finely chop it and saute it in a small saucepan until soft.

Step 2: Add the contents of a tin of chopped tomatoes, stir and bring to a low simmer. Allow the tomato and onion mixture to simmer down until it's a nice thick sauce.

Add a sprinkling of mixed herbs to the mix.

Optional Extras

Step 3: Once the sauce has thickened you can add some extra chilli, garlic, tomato puree etc to suit your taste.

I recommend starting this mixture first before you make your dough which gives the sauce time to thicken nicely before it's needed.

That's it enjoy your new pizza base making.
