Pizza Sauce From Peter Reinhart - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1/2 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried basil (optional)
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic powder (optional)
1/4 cup water, if needed only
1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste)

Preparation

Empty can of tomatoes into mixing bowl and whisk, add all the ingredients, except water and salt and whisk to smooth sauce.
Taste and adjust by adding enough water to make a slightly thick easily spreadable sauce. Adjust spices to taste. The sauce can be used immediately, but will thicken slightly as it sits.
Store any leftover sauce in a container with a lid. This sauce will keep for up to 10 days in the refrigerator or 3 months in freezer.
