How to make homemade tomato pizza sauce

Start by heating oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add minced garlic and cook for a few seconds until fragrant. Then, stir in diced tomatoes.

Add sugar, basil, oregano, a bay leaf, and red pepper flakes if desired, along with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes, or until it reaches the desired consistency for spreading on your pizza.

Once cooked, remove the sauce from the heat and allow it to cool slightly before using it as a topping for your pizza. Store this sauce in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze until you’re ready to use it again.
