Homemade Pizza Sauce With Fresh Tomatoes

This recipe for homemade pizza sauce with fresh tomatoes will add freshness and more deliciousness to your pizza. Nothing can beat the freshly made sauce.

Last week I shared with you all a whole wheat pizza dough recipe. Now it’s time to make some homemade pizza sauce, the second most important ingredient for making good pizzas. I think it is going to become a series for making homemade pizza from scratch as next time I am going to share an Indian Italian fusion pizza recipe.

This pizza sauce is made using fresh tomatoes instead of canned ones, and fresh spices like basil. Therefore, it takes slightly more time to cook the sauce and imbibe flavors from the spices. Believe me, the final taste of the sauce and thus the pizza is worth this extra cooking time.
