Note

The original recipe included Tabasco Garlic Pepper Sauce and salt; adjust spice levels to your preference.

If using sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, you may not need to rehydrate them with water; simply chop them and use as is, potentially reducing the cooking time for the sauce slightly.

Ensure the pizza pan is well-greased to prevent the dough from sticking.

For a crispier crust, you can pre-bake the dough for 5 minutes before adding the toppings.

Leftover pizza sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for later use.
