HOME MADE PIZZA SAUCE RECIPE FROM SCRATCH



Home Made Pizza Sauce Recipe from Scratch image

Contrary to popular opinion, pizza was not Italian in origin, but it was the Italians who gave it the name "pizza", improved upon it, and introduced it in the United States. Pizza was invented by the Greeks around several hundred years B.C. who were the early pioneers and skilled bakers, settling in Southern Italy around the Naples Region.

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons garlic
