Starting your day with a delicious breakfast pizza is a fantastic way to kick off your morning. And what makes a breakfast pizza even more delightful? A homemade pizza sauce, of course! In this article, we will guide you through the simple steps of making a flavorful breakfast pizza sauce that will elevate your morning meal to new heights. So, let’s dive in and learn how to make breakfast pizza sauce!
Ingredients
Before we begin, gather the following ingredients:
– 1 can (14.5 oz) of crushed tomatoes
– 1 tablespoon of olive oil
– 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon of dried basil
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Optional: 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This will ensure that your pizza crust is perfectly crispy when you bake it.
2. Prepare the Sauce: In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Add the Tomatoes: Pour in the crushed tomatoes, along with the garlic powder, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
4. Simmer the Sauce: Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. If the sauce becomes too thick, you can add a little water or tomato juice to thin it out.
5. Season to Taste: Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes if desired.
6. Cool the Sauce: Once the sauce reaches your desired consistency and flavor, remove it from the heat and let it cool down for a few minutes.
7. Assemble Your Breakfast Pizza: Spread the cooled sauce evenly on your pizza crust. Add your favorite toppings, such as scrambled eggs, bacon, cheese, and vegetables.
8. Bake the Pizza: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
9. Serve and Enjoy: Once your breakfast pizza is ready, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Slice into wedges and serve hot.
Now that you know how to make breakfast pizza sauce, you can start your day with a delicious, homemade breakfast that will leave you feeling satisfied and energized. Enjoy your breakfast pizza creation!
