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:

  • Use high-quality tomatoes: The type of tomatoes you use will greatly affect the flavor of your sauce. Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes, such as Roma or San Marzano tomatoes.
  • Roast your tomatoes: Roasting tomatoes intensifies their flavor and gives them a slightly smoky taste. You can roast tomatoes in the oven or on the stovetop.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, and thyme, add a lot of flavor to pizza sauce. Use them sparingly, as they can easily overpower the other ingredients.
  • Don't overcook the sauce: Pizza sauce should be cooked until it is slightly thickened and flavorful, but not too long, or it will lose its fresh taste.
  • Taste the sauce as you go: The best way to ensure that your pizza sauce is perfect is to taste it as you go and adjust the seasonings accordingly.

Conclusion:

With a little effort, you can easily make a delicious and flavorful pizza sauce at home. Use high-quality ingredients, follow the tips above, and you'll be sure to impress your friends and family with your culinary skills. So next time you're making pizza, skip the store-bought sauce and make your own instead. You won't be disappointed!
