The Perfect Pizza Setup

Want to make restaurant style pizza at home? I’ve got you covered! Here are some of my top tips, tricks, secret ingredients and tools for a pizza night everyone will look forward to, again and again.

1. NEVER do this… Contrary to what most people believe, when baking pizza on a sheet pan, never add toppings to raw pizza dough. Instead, follow my recipe for making homemade pizza with ready made dough, which will teach you how to par bake pizza dough first.
2. Get help from secret ingredients…
   – This dough seasoning is the secret to real Italian-tasting homemade pizza dough.
   – Add pizza seasoning to store bought pizza sauce. This makes the pizza taste really fresh!
3. Herbs are for after… In my weekly pizza making practice, I’ve found that fresh herbs, like basil, need to be added to pizza after the pizza is done baking (so the herbs don’t wilt).
4. Buy fresh dough and get amazing results. Yup, fresh dough from grocery stores is one of my favorite short-cuts. Learn how to use fresh Trader Joe’s pizza dough and Whole Foods pizza dough with my tutorials.
5. Frozen pizza can taste amazing, too!! Learn how to spruce it up with this recipe for pizza using frozen crust.
6. Slice pizza pies like a chef with just a few swipes, using big ol’ pizza cutters.
7. Want to grill pizza? Here are some pizza grilling tools to check out.
8. Do you really need to cook pizza on the rack? Nope! I basically never do. Here are tools you see me using in my tutorials on cooking pizza in the oven…
   – Bake pizza on a rimmed baking pan set to get a beautiful golden brown crust.
   – Love crispy crust? Let the air flow with this dishwasher safe pizza pan.

Why I wrote this recipe

The first time I wanted to make my own pizza sauce, I was actually headed in a different direction at first. I was looking for a recipe to make with canned tomatoes. And at first I was thinking of making a Sunday dinner with stuffed shells and pasta sauce using canned tomatoes, but then I was in a pizza mood.

The thing I found was that many recipes for tomato pizza sauces use fresh tomatoes. But it wasn’t summer so I wondered: can I make pizza sauce without tomatoes from the garden or farmers market? So then, I went to work figuring it out.

To me, beyond it being super tasty, the best part about making pizza sauce without fresh tomatoes (using this recipe) is that you don’t have to heat the stove. In the summer, it’s nice to make recipes that don’t heat up the kitchen.

And in the cold months, this is one of the best things to meal prep for Winter because in about 15 minutes, you can make enough homemade pizza sauce for months!
