sauce for real pizza ready!

Pizza is cooked now in almost every home. The dish is quick, simple, satisfying and allows you to use any leftover products that you no longer use for a separate dish, because there are not enough of them. At the same time, not everyone knows that it is not the filling that makes this dish tasty, but the pizza sauce. If it is cooked incorrectly or, God forbid, replaced by primitive ketchup (or even tomato paste), standing dish you won't succeed. Of course, such an important ingredient is sold in supermarkets, but it is difficult to say how much you can trust it. So don't be lazy and prepare homemade sauce for pizza.

Quick Recipe

For him, consider, time and will not be required. The only thing is that the main ingredient is quite expensive, since you need to buy tomatoes in your own juice of Italian origin. The preparation itself is extremely simple: the tomatoes are passed through a blender, salt, pepper, oregano are added to taste, and olive oil is added. Tomato sauce for pizza can be used! Moreover, it can be stored in the refrigerator for quite a long time.

Inexpensive homemade sauce

Here he will have to deal with it. To begin with, a pound of tomato is doused with boiling water and peeled. Two glasses of dry white wine are evaporated, tomatoes chopped into medium-sized cubes are added to the pan. You will have to simmer until the tomatoes turn into a paste-like mass. During this time, excess moisture will go away, after which sugar, salt and spices of your choice are poured. After about ten minutes, the saucepan is removed, and the mass, after cooling, is rubbed through a sieve.

Subtleties of cooking

To get a moderately thick and high-quality tomato sauce for pizza, you must strictly follow the order: first the wine, and only then the tomatoes. The second rule: do not grind them into porridge, otherwise all the tomato juice will not have time to evaporate, as a result of which the pizza sauce will come out too liquid. It is better to stew the tomatoes first and drain the excess juice, and then wipe them along with all the other ingredients.

If it still turns out watery, add half a cup of tomato paste and boil again, stirring constantly. Some advise introducing starch, but it significantly affects the taste.

If you want to get flavor nuances, add olives or pitted olives to the mass before wiping. You can also experiment with a set of herbs. Just don't go overboard with spices (peppers, strong-smelling spices), as the pizza sauce should set off, not overpower the rest of the ingredients.

Red (aka tomato) pizza sauce

It is the most popular in the preparation of this dish, as it is combined with almost all the ingredients that make up the Italian dish. To get an almost authentic tomato sauce for pizza, a kilo of fresh small tomatoes is blanched for a minute in boiling water and peeled. Crushed into cubes, they are stewed until they lose their clear outlines and again rubbed through a fine colander or sieve. The resulting puree is cooked with stirring until it thickens, after which it is removed from the stove. Crushed garlic (a full-fledged head), salt, herbs and spices are laid in it (this is already a matter of your imagination and taste); the extinguishing process continues for another three minutes. In parallel, finely chopped six medium onions are poached in olive oil. The finished frying is introduced into the puree - and again for ten minutes on the fire. As a result, we have a wonderful tomato sauce for pizza, with which, after cooling, you can safely smear its base, being firmly confident in the final result.

White variant

FROM fish filling Tomatoes don't go well together. And Italians tend to put fish or a variety of seafood in their favorite dish. For such cases, it was invented white sauce for pizza. For him, three tablespoons (with an impressive slide) of flour are mixed with half a glass rich broth and 70 grams of butter. The container is placed on a small fire and slowly heats up. At the same time, the contents must be mixed so that the flour does not crumple, and the oil is distributed evenly. The rest of the broth is gradually poured in (half a liter is taken in total). It will take about forty minutes to cook white pizza sauce. Somewhere in the middle of the process, pepper and salt and garlic are put in, if you don't mind this spice. Foam will form - it must be removed. When the sauce thickens, it is filtered while hot and left to cool. You can start baking pizza!

Sour cream pizza sauce

Despite the demand for tomato and red sauces, the Italians came up with other “gravies” for pizza. And very tasty! 3 cloves of garlic should be turned into gruel, 10 g of cheese should be grated as finely as possible. Beat sour cream in the amount of 100 g with two large spoons of mayonnaise, add cheese, garlic, salt, basil and pepper to it - as much as you like. Mix and smear the base, on which any ingredients are then laid out - this pizza sauce is suitable for any filling.

Creamy Alternative

It is especially harmonious with spicy varieties of pizza, fish and vegetables. However, with meat or sausage, a creamy pizza sauce is also quite suitable. This is due to the neutral taste of the "gravy". 2 eggs should be divided into whites and yolks. The latter must be beaten in a separate bowl. At the same time, 100 g of good flour are mixed with softened butter (a tablespoon is enough) and at the same time, warm cream is poured in a little bit (a glass in total). The resulting mixture is placed in a water bath and stirred all the time. Ten minutes later, when cream sauce for pizza, it begins to thicken, prepared yolks are poured and salt and sugar are poured to taste. The vessel is immediately removed from the bath, and its contents are whipped again. According to the list of products, it is clear that neither spiciness nor spices should be expected from this sauce. That is why it is taken for bitter pizza toppings.

Fancy green sauce

When you get bored of the standard "spreads" for the base, try alternative ones. For example, there is a pizza sauce whose recipe does not contain traditional Italian ingredients, with the exception of olive oil. For it, half a cup of unsalted and toasted sunflower seeds are placed in a blender with three cloves of garlic, half a teaspoon of dried chili and a bunch of cilantro. There they are brought to the state of paste. When the mass becomes homogeneous, olive oil is gradually added to the blender (a quarter cup). Whipping ends when the sauce becomes plastic, green and uniform. His pizza is amazing.

Russian fantasies for pizza

People who often cook this Italian dish and realize how important pizza sauce is, not only diversify its recipe, but also come up with new ones. Moreover, according to your favorite recipes, they are prepared for future use, so as not to be distracted later. You can do this: pass 6 kg of tomatoes through a juicer and wipe. Boil the squeezed juice for two hours without a lid to remove excess water. During this time, a white onion, chopped large enough, and half a head of garlic, processed in the same way, are fried. A glass of apple juice is poured into them. Everything is cooked until smooth. Spices in the composition of cloves, chaman, allspice-peas are put into a bundle of sterile gauze and lowered into the future pizza sauce. Separately, the same is done with fresh basil. How much to take is your decision. After 10 minutes, add sea salt, brown sugar, cinnamon, ground black and pink pepper and a little white wine vinegar to the sauce. In total, it will take about half an hour to cook, periodically trying, which is not enough. Then you can roll up such a pizza sauce, or you can simply put it in the refrigerator and take it out as needed.

By tradition, the Mediterranean dish was prepared without sauce in its modern sense - the base of the dough was smeared olive oil, a kind of puree from ground tomatoes was laid out on top and cheese was necessarily added.

Culinary experiments gave their amazing result: a strict canon - tomato sauce— has changed beyond recognition: even in his original performance it ranges from simply grated ripe vegetables with spices to carefully prepared pasta, observing the smallest details.
