why not just use passata?

[NaturesFairy]

YUM! Looks great! Great video!!

the baking soda would reduce the acidity (the chemistry is acid+base = salt, i.e. a chemical salt), not sure if this actually improves the sauce, especially since the amount added is so ridicolously small.

This isn't my preferred way to make a good pizza sauce.

If you roast the garlic too early in the process, it will lose flavor and become bitter, which isn't that nice on a pizza.

If you roast your herbs though, you will boost the flavor in them, which is great.

My way to make a fantastic pizza sauce:

1. Heat some olive-oil on a large pan. If possible, get some local oil from the danish island Bornholm, south of sweden. Top quality!

[eliten0Ob]

2. gently roast some basil, rosemary, thyme, oregano and a tad of curry.

3. Add some good minced meat. Doesn't have to be the expensive fatless, but mustn't be too fat either. 8-12% fat should do it.

4. When it's completely done, add the tomatoes. Any kind of canned tomatoes is good if you're lazy.

5. Add some cream, it gives the sauce a more bold, soft flavor.

6. Add in some vegetables: red pepper, squash, corn, peas, cherry-tomatoes, whatever you like.

7. Taste the sauce, and possibly add some salt and pepper here, some chili if you like that. It's also HERE you add the garlic, which shouldn't be chopped, but pressed, because the finer processed garlic, the more juice available. The more juice, the more dominant the garlic taste becomes. Only 1 or 2 cloves needed here.

8. Simmer till most of the water is gone: more consentrated sauce.

And presto: a good pizzasauce. :)

I watched the video again, and saw you mentioned the roast-the-herb-thingy. I skipped through that part when i saw it the first time. :p But yes, it is a very good trick! Also, baking soda, that was new. O.o Creative grandmother, i must say that. :p

I dont know how is it going to taste, but he way you have presented it, made to think about putting some effort in to it.

Thanks for the show.

Why does everyone use tinned tomatoes? They're ok but nowhere near as nice as making a sauce with fresh tomatoes.

[Tamar1973]

I have a tomato-less pizza sauce you can check out on my channel.

[kosh2001]

[7goldenCandlesticks]

Found it. Thanks!!!  Can't wait to try this.

[freathinker]

Your recipes are incredible! Simple, delicious and nutritious. Thanks so much!

[barrykumar]

the bicarbonate in the baking soda balances the acidity of the tomatoes. nice recipe.

[childsdish]

Why squash the tomatoes (gives me a rash) and strain the seeds, when you could have just used tomato puree?

[Learn2Cook]

You could, if you can find puree San Marzanos, but i find the domestic purees are not of the same quality and sweetness as the whole peeled style. But, use what works for you. Enjoy!

[cgtlv]

Thanks Chef John. This looks great. I can't wait for your pizza dough. I am gonna make it all. You rock. I like your voice too.
