Get ready to make the best pizza sauce. Follow the steps and you’ll get your desired result. It may take some time to nail this pizza sauce. 

However, if you’re careful enough, you won’t fail for sure. So let’s start making our favorite pizza sauce-

Step 2: Sauté The Garlic 

Now, take a saucepan and heat it just over medium-high. Put butter with the olive oil in the saucepan and stir until you melt the butter.

After melting the butter completely, first, add some salt. Then keep adding garlic, and dried oregano. Stir for about 2 minutes. 

The garlic will start to soften and release its flavors. Once you get a nice fragrance, remove the pan.

Make sure you don’t overheat and burn your pan. Overheating will spoil the flavor completely.

Step 3: Simmer the Sauce

In this step, transfer all the mixed ingredients to the saucepan. Stir everything nicely in low heat.

Simmer the sauce at low flame for 45 minutes to 1 hour. The sauce should change its density and have a dark red color. Keep stirring now and then to prevent it from burning.

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

If the sauce is too runny, simmer it for 10 more minutes. If the sauce doesn’t stick to the spoon, it means it’s too dry. In this case, add ½ cup warm water and stir to fix the consistency.
