Pizza Sauce

We always make our own sauce for the pizza - you can find the dough recipe here.  This way we know exactly what's in the sauce and we can tailor it to suit.  It's a really easy sauce to make, and you can use it for other dishes like a base for the spaghetti sauce.

We all love anchovies, you can leave these out if you wish but they do add a  nice salty twist to the sauce - and if you don't tell them its in it, they will never know....(unless there's an anchovy allergy...)


  • 2 sachets of tomato paste
  • 4 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon chilli sauce
  • 2 tablespoons of capers
  • 6-8 anchovies
  • fresh herbs (basil or oregano - use dried if not available)
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
Chop up the capers and anchovies until they are fine and make a paste. 

In a small saucepan over low-medium heat, add the capers, anchovies, garlic and chilli, along with some olive oil or anchovy oil. Stir until it all starts to reduce. Add tomato paste, sugar and fresh herbs. Add water to make a sauce.  Bring to boil - set aside until needed.
