Ingredients

• 6 ounces tomato paste
• 15 ounces canned tomato sauce
• 1 cup water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the tomato paste, canned tomato sauce, and water. Stir well to create a smooth mixture.

Step 2

Add the olive oil, granulated sugar, dried oregano, dried basil, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and ground black pepper to the saucepan.

Step 3

Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure all the seasonings are evenly distributed.

Step 4

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Keep stirring occasionally to avoid burning.

Step 6

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary (e.g., add a pinch of salt or sugar to balance the flavors).

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool slightly before using.

Step 8

Spread the sauce evenly over your pizza dough before adding your preferred toppings.
