- Storage Tip: If you have extra sauce, it’s easy to freeze for later use. Just store it in an airtight container, and you can use it on future pizzas.
Additional Tips:
- Customization: Feel free to adjust the seasoning to suit your taste. If you like it spicier, add more cayenne pepper. You can also experiment by adding garlic powder or a pinch of sugar to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes.
- Freezing: To freeze, simply place any leftover sauce into a freezer-safe bag or container. When you’re ready to use it again, just thaw it overnight in the fridge, and you’ll have fresh sauce ready in minutes.
