Pizza Sauce Recipe Substitutions
Here are three possible substitutes for this recipe.
- Tomato Sauce. Sometimes I am running out of cans of tomato sauce, so I cans blend a can of diced tomatoes, or a fresh blended tomato in the blender. They are pretty great for that. Another thing that can be used is blended fresh tomatoes.
- Tomato Paste. Furthermore, please do not skip the tomato paste since it helps the pizza sauce be consistent which is crucial for the unpleasantly (or soggily) touch.
- Choose fresh or dried herbs of your preference. I always make it with dried spices but also, you can go for the fresh ones instead. Additionally, if you desire a milder sauce then it may be recommended that you start with fewer quantities and add extra toppings to your liking.
- Garlic salt. Use an additional ¼ teaspoon garlic powder and along with that ½ to a teaspoon of sea salt, if garlic salt is not available.
- Granulated sugar. This can be omitted, or you can substitute honey. But the added sugar in the tomatoes heightens the taste and makes the sauce “bite”.
Note: As the original pizza sauce recipe given is vegan, hence you are also allowed to make some wonderful pizzas without any dairy products with this recipe.
