Pizza

My first few attempts at Gluten-Free pizza were less than spectacular.  I was so desperate that I was searching high and low for restaurants that would serve me a gluten free pizza.  Well, our plans to visit a gluten free pizza restaurant continued to fall through and I continued to try my hand at an acceptable crust.  I have now made a good one and hubby agrees that we need search no farther.  I am thrilled because my friend Lynette, from WA, had shared her AWESOME recipe for pizza sauce and I mourned the fact that I might not be able to use it again.  I enjoy using the recipe because it is just REALLY good and because it reminds me of many nights shared with our friends (included as if we were family) when we were so far away from our physical families. 

Lynette's Pizza Sauce

1 15 oz can tomato sauce
1 6 oz can tomato paste
1 clove pressed garlic
2 Tbsp dried onion
1 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp each dried basil, oregano, marjoram
1/4 tsp thyme
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
3 Tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp salt

Mix together well, cover, and set on counter for 1 hour.
Enough Sauce for 3 15" pizzas.
Extra sauce freezes well.
(1/2 of recipe covers a cookie sheet size pizza)

  1. That is similar to what we make for spaghetti sauce in the summer to can except we add green peepers and hot peppers instead of cayenne, we use 'fresh' onions, and white sugar. I normally add a little extra sugar and maybe extra garlic (which yours already has) to make it pizza sauce.
