I've been making my own pizzas at home for a while now, but using pre-made crusts (don't judge!). Making my own crust is definitely next on the agenda, but first I'd like a critique of my sauce, and then advice on dough.

I made a couple today, and they were delicious. I think with a real crust, they would have been better than pizzaria quality. Here's a picture of the leftover one (we ate the other too fast for a pic!) Also, it's in a pizza box that I saved from a take out. This one was better than the take out!



Here's the sauce that I make:

One of those small cans tomato paste, and the same can filled with filtered water.
3-4 garlic cloves
1 tsp. dried oregano
1/4 tsp. dried basil
1 tsp. sugar
half a tbsp. olive oil
1/2 tsp or a little more salt
a good amount of cracked black pepper (maybe a quarter tsp.? this I don't measure)

I mix the water with the paste until it's combined, throw the garlic cloves in the food processor, dump in the tomato puree, and everything else, and pulse until blended well.

-----

This sauce is pretty delicious, IMO.

For the pizzas I just made, I used the premade crust, spread the sauce out (it makes enough for two 12" pizzas), layer provolone slices, thinly sliced zucchini, red bell pepper, red onion, and mushrooms, and then covered it all with some grated parmesan. After baking on high heat for 10 minutes, I took them out and then sprinkled a little bit of "italian seasoning blend" on top.

They were amazing, but the crust was not so great (store bought)

-----------------------

What's the easiest way to make dough? Also, any thing I could tweak about the sauce?
