Tips & tricks

Cool the sauce before spreading it on the pizza base. Warm sauce can make the dough softer and harder to transfer to the oven.

Did you know?

A red pizza sauce is best when the tomatoes simmer down a little, letting water evaporate and the flavor concentrate. Onion, garlic and herbs add depth, while a little sugar balances the tomato acidity. A thicker sauce also helps the pizza base stay crisper during baking.
