anyone got a recipe for neopolitan pizza sauce.
I have the San Marzano tomatoes, oregano, olive oil, garlic.
Just don’t know measurements and/or looking for tips.
Thanks!

This is for me rough estimates of what I do.gasman79 said:anyone got a recipe for neopolitan pizza sauce.

1 large can San Marzano tomatoes
3-4 garlic cloves
1tsp oregano or Italian seasoning
2 tablespoons olive oil.
1-2 tsp of kosher salt.
1/2 tsp ground black pepper (optional)
Heat the olive oil, garlic, and oregano in a skillet. Once fragrant turn the burner off and let cool.
Once cool combine in a blender with tomatoes and salt and blend until smooth. Alternately you could smash the tomatoes with a masher or use a immersion blender until smooth. Once smooth store in canning jars or air tight container.
the other key to me is to let it sit for a few days if you can. This helps the seasonings to really impart flavor into the sauce.Rockwall, Tx LBGE, Minimax, 22" Blackstone, Pizza Party Bollore. Cast Iron Hoarder.

Simple. No cooking required. Run the San Marzanos through a food mill. Then, drizzle a little evoo on the dough, followed by some pepper. Next, ladle the tomatoes (sparingly, 2-3 small ladles... less is more) onto the dough. Maybe this much...

Then, a pinch of salt, a light dusting of dried oregano and another of garlic powder. Top as desired. Maybe a little more oregano after the toppings.
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

This. I’ve been playing with pizza this week, and crushed San Marzano tomatoes is all it takes. Garlic, EVOO, salt, etc end up on the pie anyways, so seasoning or cooking the sauce seems redundant.Carolina Q said:Simple. No cooking required. Run the San Marzanos through a food mill.

1. Hand-crush or food mill the San Marzano tomatos (San Marzano is a must).
2. Spread on pizza (less is more).
You're welcome.

Now, when you want to make an appetizer of garlic knots, my sauce recipe would be substantially different. But for a traditional margarita pizza, that's all you need.DFW - 1 LGBE & Happy to Adopt More...

When I can’t find a good can of tomatoes my local store always has a jar of this ready made sauce. It’s pretty good.

Thank you,DarianGalveston Texas -
I agree. I’d add some marjoram too.caliking said:

Nice looking pie! What did you end up with for sauce?FYI, the official VPN "condiments" for pizza Napoletana from theAssociazione Verace Pizza Napoletana are...

So, the ingredients I listed above are semi-okay, at least for a Marinara pizza. I add a little pepper and use garlic powder instead of fresh. That's probably akin to putting beans and tomatoes in chili at a Texas chili contest! DISQUALIFIED!

I hand-crush 1 can of San Marzanos with a tsp of kosher salt for napoletana-style pizza.

So i ended up with a 28oz can San Marzano then i heated up 6 cloves garlic, 2 Tbl evoo 1 tsp oregano 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper.Carolina Q said:Nice looking pie!

Sat at it in fridge overnight then pulled it out.
I actually ate the white pizza so i didn’t taste the sauce.
Kids (8,6,4) had the pepperoni and a classic cheese one and they loved it so it must have been relatively mild since they are kids...lol
next time I’ll try some. Gonna make pizza again on Sunday.
Largest issue i found is turning the pizza with the turning peel. I bout a 6inch peel from GI metals and am questioning if i should have gotten the 8 inch peel now. -

Do you have a recipe for these so called garlic knots? sounds like something I could like -
Trolling your thread a bit with a Neapolitan style pie baked in the Big Clock indoors


Experimenting with different dough variations, and this was pretty damn good. But back to the sauce- crushed San Marzano tomatoes, light sprinkle of sea salt, drizzle of garlic oil that I made, and slivers of garlic as the last topping.
The sauce tasted bright, and the garlic caramelized nicely. All the flavors came together nicely, without pre-cooking the sauce.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX. -
I like it!
yeah i didn’t cook the sauce, just the Evoo, oregano, garlic part -
This might be a really stupid comment, but could you do deep dish or Detroit style pizza in one of these?1 large BGE, Spartanburg SC

Don’t see why not. Just cook at a lower temp than a napoletana-style pizza.Grillin_beers said:This might be a really stupid comment, but could you do deep dish or Detroit style pizza in one of these?
