This pizza sauce recipe came from playing around with several versions of New York sauce recipes we discovered. After a while we found this one seemed to mimic the best we have had once we added the right amount of fennel seed.
This will make enough sauce for two 12 inch pizza rounds. If you make our dough recipe you will have to double that recipe to match the amount of sauce you will have. The combination of dough and sauce tastes incredible.
