Pizza is something I want to get into making more in the future.
Pizza in Australia is pretty shit.
With how much the cost of food has gone up in the last few years it makes sense to make more good simple food with cheap ingredients.
Pizza is one of those things in life where it's not about how much you spend on it but how well you do it that makes the difference.
What I'm wondering is if any of you Americans in particular have a really good simple recipe for the sauce ?
I think I have everything else figured out.
( I know the base is important and the cooking method )

I’m watching Gordon Ramsay at an Italian restaurant. Regarding how you make it versus cost
He said “it’s all about fresh ingredients all the way”
Don’t know if that helps
I know fuck all about tomatoes but always like homemade sauce without sugar in it
From what my understanding is regarding Italian. It's all about the quality. Not the quantity of ingredients.
I don't really trust Gordon Ramsay.
I also think quality trumps freshness.
But thank you for the input.
Found a ton on Google, just look at a bunch and see what you like.
Most have a base of can tomato paste and sauce.
Personally I've pretty much always used spaghetti sauce, home made and store jar.

Definitely. That'll be easy.
I'm kinda picturing a sauce recipe that a pizza snob would approve of. Like some wog saying " look , this is how my granmama made it , don't fuck with it and put in xyz.."
But thank you.
Watching the tardy cook is very relaxing.

That was hilarious. He even threw in the Bobby Lee joke!

Tomatoes from the garden, of course. Any you get from the store are picked green, blasted with ethylene to turn them red, so they can ship well. It's why they don't taste good, at all. Substitute with a good quality canned tomato, or better, can your own.
- Couple of large tomatoes chopped, seeded
- 1-2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon good olive oil
- 1-2 anchovy fillets (or since you're down under, 1/4 teaspoon of marmite or vegemite)
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 heaping teaspoon of oregano or marjoram dried or 1 tablespoon fresh
Pulse in in the food processor until smooth. Quick job that gets you some of the depth of flavor you'd get from cooking it.
I keep a jar of dried tomato slices soaking in olive oil. I use a bit of that to add an thin oil layer on the dough before putting the sauce on. Keeps the crust crisp and adds more tomato flavor.
Another tip: follow the typical pizza dough recipe, but slow-ferment in the fridge 12-24 hours. Much better tasting crust.

I saw that so I had to watch it. Asian guy says he's never met an Asian person, then later in the video he's cleaning out his ear with his finger before handling food.
I mean, he's fucking retarded, cut him some slack, jack.
