Some Extra Tips To Know

How To Thicken Your Sauce?

There are so many ways to thicken the sauce. But the most popular is to use starch. However, don’t add flour to your sauce. Because you’ll end up with a lumpy mess.  

How To Increase The Acidity Level In A Balanced Way?

You can add wine to your sauce. That will do the work. Wine is a popular ingredient that may be readily integrated into tomato sauce. White wine is preferred. Because wine lacks acidity and can produce an unattractive color. 

Moreover, in a tomato-based sauce, olives and capers are frequently included. They also add acidity as well as salt.

Is don pepino pizza sauce Gluten- free?

Yes, it’s absolutely gluten-free. These sauces don’t contain any wheat by-products or wheat. So if you have a problem with gluten, you can still have it.

How Do You Make Your Sauce More Delicious?

While the sauce is boiling, add a piece of Parmesan cheese to provide a nutty, salty taste. You can also grate high-quality Parmesan or pecorino cheese over the sauce just before serving.  Adding a couple of tablespoons of ricotta cheese should do the work too.

That was the guide to your don Pepino pizza sauce. Hopefully, you liked it. Now, it’s your turn to make the sauce for your pizza. 

Good luck!
