Step 2: Mix The Ingredients 

Take a deep saucepan and add your canned tomatoes to the pot. Now, put the sauteed onion and bell paper in it. Add sea salt, brown sugar, oregano, and red pepper flakes to it.

Step 3: Make The Sauce Smooth

Take your immersion blender. Blend the sauce till it gets a smooth consistency.

Dip a wooden spoon in your pizza sauce. If the sauce sticks to the spoon and does not drip, it’s perfect.

Now, turn off the heat. Let it cool down at room temperature for sometime.
