Ingredients
Scale
28 oz crushed tomatoes
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried basil
½ tsp garlic powder
1 tsp sugar
½ tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
In a bowl, combine crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, garlic powder, sugar, black pepper, salt, and olive oil.
Stir until evenly combined. A fork or small whisk helps distribute the olive oil more easily than a spoon.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. If using no-salt-added crushed tomatoes, add a little more salt.
Let the sauce sit for 10–15 minutes if possible so the herbs and spices hydrate and the flavors meld together.
Use the amount needed for pizza and freeze the remaining sauce for later.
Notes
One large pizza typically uses 4–5 oz of sauce (about 1/2 cup).
Freeze extra sauce in 4–5 oz portions for easy pizza nights.
Sauce may look slightly watery after thawing. Stir well before using.
