Classic Pizza Sauce
This is the best pizza sauce, it's simple and delicious and is perfect for pizza made with my favourite dough recipe.


Ingredients:

1 large 28oz can whole roma tomatoes
2 cloves garlic, pressed, pureed, or smashed and finely chopped
2 TB olive oil
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, roughly chopped
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1.  Place the tomatoes in a large, non-reactive bowl. 

2.  With your (clean) hands, crush the tomatoes into medium-size chunks. 

3.  Mix in the rest of the ingredients.  Add more garlic or basil if you like. 

4.  Let sit at room temperature for a few hours. 

When you spoon it onto the pizza dough, use a slotted spoon so that you don't get too much liquid on the pizza.
