Time 1h20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (28-ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes
1 tablespoon (15ml) extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon (15ml) unsalted butter
2 medium cloves garlic, grated on microplane grater (about 2 teaspoons)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Pinch red pepper flakes
Kosher salt
1 medium yellow onion, peeled and split in half
2 (6-inch) sprigs fresh basil with leaves attached
1 teaspoon sugar

Steps:

  • Process tomatoes and their juice through food mill, pulse in food processor until puréed, or purée with immersion blender. Purée should not be completely smooth, but should have no chunks larger than 1/16th of an inch. Set tomatoes aside.
  • Combine oil and butter in medium saucepan and heat over medium-low heat until butter is melted. Add garlic, oregano, pepper flakes, and large pinch salt and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant but not browned, about 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, onion halves, basil sprigs, and sugar. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to lowest setting (bubbles should barely be breaking the surface), and cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced by half, about 1 hour. Discard onions and basil stems. Season to taste with salt. Allow to cool and store in covered container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

PIZZA ESSENTIALS: THE ULTIMATE SWEET PIZZA SAUCE



Pizza Essentials: The Ultimate Sweet Pizza Sauce image

I have two favorite pizza sauces, one is a tart sauce that I have already posted, and this one is more of a sweet sauce. Not a sweet, sweet sauce but just enough sweetness to let you know that it is there. It was used quite a bit at the mom-and-pop Italian pizzerias that I grew up with. This is my go-to sauce whenever I am...

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

PLAN/PURCHASE
2 Tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
1 clove garlic, minced
3 Tbsp tomato paste
1 pinch red-pepper flakes, or to taste
28 oz diced tomatoes, 1 can
1 tsp dehydrated onions, crushed into a powder
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp dried parsley
1 - 2 Tbsp fresh clover honey, or to taste
salt, kosher variety, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. PREP/PREPARE
  • 2. A good solid saucepan, without any hotspots, is essential to this recipe.
  • 3. What gives this sauce its unique flavor is not just the honey, but the proper cooking of the tomato paste. We are going to cook it, almost to the point of caramelization. One minute it will be nice and brown, and the next it will be a burned mess. Once that process is started, you will never leave the pan unattended.
  • 4. One of my favorite brands of tomatoes is Cento. I think that they have the perfect balance of tomato flavors to compliment this recipe.
  • 5. Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
  • 6. Add the olive oil to a saucepan, over medium-low heat.
  • 7. When the oil heats up, add the chopped garlic.
  • 8. Cook until it turns a golden brown, about 2 - 3 minutes.
  • 9. Use a strainer to remove the garlic from the oil, and then return the oil to the saucepan.
  • 10. Add the tomato paste, and red-pepper flakes, if using.
  • 11. Raise the heat to medium, and cook until the tomato paste begins to turn brown, and almost caramelizes, about 5 - 7 minutes.
  • 12. Add the tomatoes, dehydrated onions, basil, oregano, and parsley.
  • 13. Bring up to a light boil, then lower the heat, and lightly simmer for 20 - 30 minutes.
  • 14. Chef's Note: Give the sauce a swirl with a spoon, about every minute or so.
  • 15. Remove from the heat, and add the honey, and salt, to taste.
  • 16. Add to a blender or food processor, and blend until smooth.
  • 17. Allow to completely cool, place in a jar, with a tight-fitting lid, and place in the fridge until needed.
  • 18. PLATE/PRESENT
  • 19. Use whenever you are looking for an awesome, slightly sweet pizza sauce. Enjoy.
  • 20. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

IRON MIKE'S SWEET TOMATO PIZZA SAUCE - THE SPIRIT OF CINCINNATI



Iron Mike's Sweet Tomato Pizza Sauce - the Spirit of Cincinnati image

So I grew up in Cincinnati. 18 years of Cincy Chili, Ribs, Ice Cream, and, of course, LaRosa's Pizza, whose sauce is flavorful and SWEET. Now that I've been away, I find you can't get any pizza remotely close ANYwhere else. Now this is no copycat recipe, but it captures the spirit of Buddy L's pizza sauce. It complements vegetable toppings as well as meats... My wife and I have not ordered pizza out since this sauce was concocted... I HIGHLY recommend using caetb's pizza dough with this sauce. (Recipe #38512 - the one with the wine...) I put the ingredients in the bread machine and it turns out great every time. I cook the finished pizza between 400 and 425 degrees fahrenheit for 9-12 minutes on a normal cookie sheet, or 11-15 minutes on an "air cookie sheet." (My wife and I prefer the normal cookie sheet, so the crust cooks and the cheese doesn't burn...) I'd love to hear feedback from others, especially misplaced Cincinnati Folks - let me know your thoughts! Mike's Notes: Since I concocted and posted this recipe, I have been back to Cincinnati... Needless to say, when I had the "real thing," I was mildly disappointed! Doh! I'm thinking about decreasing the "sweet" contents by 1/2 tbsp each on the honey and brown sugar - it IS awfully sweet! Okay - enough already - enjoy!

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 pizza saucings, 15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 (28 ounce) can tomato puree
1 teaspoon dried onion, minced or chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 cloves fresh minced garlic
1/2 tablespoon minced carrot
1 1/2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons brown sugar
fresh ground pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat.
  • Add the Tomato Puree; watch out for splatterage!
  • Add everything else and simmer uncovered on low, stirring frequently, for 30-60 minutes, until desired consistency.
  • Tips:.
  • Freeze leftover sauce until ready to use; When using on pizza dough, thaw to room temperature; Thaws nicely in the microwave.
  • Don't use too much pepper.
  • You can mince a baby carrot in the garlic press after microwaving it for 5-10 seconds- just cut it in half before putting it through the press- and that equals about 1/2 Tablespoon.
  • Either Light or Dark Brown Sugar is fine, but the dark brown sugar makes the sauce DEEP red- almost maroon.
  • If you want the sauce even sweeter, just add more Honey next time.

Tips:

  • Choose a good-quality pizza sauce: You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own. If you make your own, use fresh ingredients and simmer it for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
  • Use fresh, high-quality toppings: The quality of your toppings will make a big difference in the overall taste of your pizza. Use fresh, seasonal fruits and vegetables, and high-quality cheeses and meats.
  • Don't overload the pizza with toppings: A few simple toppings are better than a lot of toppings that will make the pizza soggy and difficult to eat.
  • Bake the pizza at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy crust and prevent the pizza from becoming soggy.
  • Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing: This will help to prevent the toppings from sliding off.

Conclusion:

Sweet pizza is a delicious and unique way to enjoy this classic dish. It can be made with a variety of different toppings, so there is sure to be a recipe that everyone will enjoy. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy meal or a special occasion treat, sweet pizza is a great option.
