Literally all you need.

bland/10

>>12315680
Fresh Oregano and dry Oregano both.
Salt, pepper, obviously, chilli flakes and a little bit of sugar.

>>12315752
Oregano goes into the oil before you put in the tomaters and lightly toasted. Along with garlic.
It's like you don't WANT to taste anything.

>>12315818
sugar in pizza sauce? which shithole are you from?

>>12315832
You can't be serious.
Literally Italy bro.

>>12315832
Nigga look up literally any pizza sauce recipe.
A pinch of sugar balances out the acidity of the tomatoes.
That is really common knowledge, or so I thought.

Doesn't matter retard.
Pinch of sugar is essential for tomato sauce.
Anybody who actually cooks knows that.
You don't, that's fine.

>>12315827
The sauce is a background to the toppings and cheese, you don’t want a super complex flavor there. Just a nice acidity and tomato taste is all you need.

>>12315944
fuck off, reddit

>>12315944
Wrong.
You need oregano and a hint of garlic.

>>12315944

Well I know how to make a tomato sauce, like the most basic thing, you even fail to do that.

That’s pasta sauce not pizza sauce.

>>12316034
implying there's a difference

>>12316034

>>12316034
Just wrong.

>>12316041
There’s a huge difference. Pizza sauce should not have complex tastes because it’s part of a complex dish. In pasta the sauce is the star so it needs complexity to stand on its own. I’m not the idiot, you guys are.

>>12316055
take your crushed tomatos is all you need for a sauce and go back

>>12316055
>because it’s part of a complex dish

>>12316055
You are retarded.
Flour and yeast can only taste so bad, texture aside.
If your sauce is bland, your pizza is bland.
Fact.

Why would you put crack in a sauce?

>>12316447
Sauce no, but a peanut butter and crack sandwich, sure.

>>12315680
I just add a little generic italian mix to tomato sauce if I'm lazy, with a bit of garlic. If I'm going all out I buy fresh tomatoes or canned, and add whatever I feel will taste good at the time and mashing it to a paste.

I like to add garlic, ohreygano, maybe salt and pepper if I'm feeling like it

>>12315680
Tomatoes canned, whole.
Cook down until mush, add some sugar, salt, mix, and serve aside.

Heat some olive oil, crush fresh garlic, finely chop fresh oregano, cook in olive oil until aromatic, add tomato sauce back in bit of water, some chili flakes, bundle of bay, basil, sage, simmer for about 30 minutes, taste for good balance of sweet and salty.
Hate when pizza sauce is to tart or sour from the tomatoes. Doesnt go to well with the richness of say sausage or something as a topping.

I know a lot of top end pizza places just use extremely ripe tomatoes, blanch, peel, and crush then cook down with salt, sugar, and basil, done.

>>12315680
extra tomatoes

>>12317877
>add some sugar,
no!

lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of olives (black and green)

>>12315680
Tomato sauce + Origano + a bit of oil
done, best sauce for a pizza

>>12315680
None. That's the only way.

Only the best canned tomatoes. Salt and Pepper. Cook it (some people prefer raw, fuck that). Then before finishing add a fuckload of good butter to it and use emulsion stick blender. Add dried oregano to the pizza before it goes in. Wa fucking la.

>>12315991

>>12315995
All these retards adding basil holy fucking shit.

Add the basil AT THE END. It literally loses all taste if it's cooked for too long you imbeciles. It's flavonoids are not libophile, they're hydrophile and evaporate very quickly. Basil is always the last step before cutting the pizza.

When I make my pan 'za the marinara has garlic, salt, basil, oregano, curry, onion and bay leafs to simmer with a bit of olive oil.

I add some thinly cut sausage and fried mushrooms and whatever else I feel like for the pizza.

Its bretty gud.

>>12320408
>Curry and bay leaf

Learn to cook you dumb asshole. That shit is not okay.

First you master a recipe. Then you add more ingredients.

>>12315680
oregano and garlic maybe a bit of chilli flakes

>>12320365
>canned
>raw
?

Tomato + pesto + oregano. Depending on the pizza, I put cheese on it.

Is making sauce difficult?

for /pol/tards, yes

>>12321375
>bringing up /pol/ in a cooking thread

>>12321396
have sex, /ck/ is for cooking

Oregano, basil, garlic, crushed red pepper, black pepper, salt.

That's all you need.

>>12315680

Pizza sauce should be plain tomatoes put through a ricer, and olive oil. That's it. Anything else is marinara sauce.

>>12321174
Not at all. It's a bit of a hassle but it doesn't take much skill.

Main thing is to use good tomatoes, whole peeled San Marzanos. They're pricy but you can't have good sauce without good tomatoes.

>>12321419
Okay autist.

>>12321419
That's not pizza sauce, that's just crushed tomatos.

>>12315680
oregano is the difference between regular red sauce and pizza sauce. More for pizza

>he doesn't use marinara on his pizza

cringe

>>12315680
red pepper flakes, a bit of oregano (not very much, just enough to faintly perfume the sauce), salt and black pepper as needed. That's about it when it comes to pizza sauce. You don't want the flavor of the sauce to overpower the toppings on the pizza, but you definitely want a good tomato flavor.

>>12321511

That's what pizza sauce is supposed to be, essentially.

>>12315850
You don't always need to add sugar. It completely depends on the tomatoes. When they were picked, how they were canned, what variety of tomato they used. And if you're using fresh tomatoes (which is only acceptable during tomato season), it will still depend on when they were picked, what variety, etc. You have to taste the tomatoes before you can decide if they need that bit of sugar or not.

>>12321556
Will you put me in pizza jail if I put more herbs and spices into my sauce?

>>12315967
>he adds ammonia to balance the pH of his tomato sauce

Cringe

>>12315850
It's really not necessary if you use good tomatoes and simmer it for a while.

>>12315947
>everything I don’t like is reddit

>>12321730
>reddit isn't everything that he doesn't like

you have to go back

San marzano style crushed tomatoes, decent olive oil, shitload of garlic, salt and crushed red pepper.

Fry the garlic in the oil, add the tomatos, crush em up, cook for a while, and then salt and red pepper to taste.

I recently ate a pizza with a meat ragu for sauce. It was fucking delicious. Shut the fuck up, idiot.

>>12323016
>>12321427
>>12322600
These are legit. Don't mess around with other tomatoes. True story: I recently made some tomato sauce with San Marzanos, and it came out pretty good. I made some more sauce with store-brand tomatoes that costed less than half as much, and it came out bland as fuck. I made a really basic sauce with just onions, garlic, and anchovy. The San Marzanos were much more flavorful. I put a ton of San Marzano sauce on my pasta when I served it because it was so delicious. The other sauce was weird. It was bland like raw, unripe supermarket tomatoes. You know those pink, mealy, flavorless pieces of shit.

I'm slowly learning how to make tomato sauce. The third time will be the charm. I can feel it.

No, he means minced anchovies you retarded zoomer.

>>12326625
Hey, I know people that would legitimately put whole anchovies in sauces. I'm no culinary expert, for sure, but I was hoping he meant something like garum and not 'let's just slice this thing in half and let it simmer'.

>>12315680
Nuoc mam

Not really a question on spices, but I didn't want to make a whole new thread.

What kinda vegetables go good mixed in with a tomato based pasta sauce? I've tried bell peppers which actually turned out pretty good, but I want to mix things up

>>12315850
This anon is correct. Also, if you don't want to use sugar, pureed carrot acts as a good replacement for balancing out the acid.
