Ingredients
- 1 can smooth tomato spaghetti sauce or pasta sauce
- 1 handful sugar
- Extra-virgin olive oil (optional)
Directions
- After rolling out dough, ladle on sauce as directed by the pizza recipe.
- Grab a handful of sugar, and sprinkle it over the sauce until the surface of the sauce becomes white but you can see the crystals dissolving.
- Drizzle with olive oil if desired.
Notes
The amounts of ingredients must be calculated proportionately with the pizza. As such, measurements cannot be determined without a "hands-on" calculation made during procedure.
The sugar covers the taste of the acidity and vegetal character of the sauce. Sugar is the secret to a pizza that tastes like one from many American fast-food franchise pizza outlets like Domino's and Pizza Hut.
A common modification is to drizzle high-quality extra virgin olive oil onto sauce on pizza, or to pre-brush the dough with oil before adding the sauce.
