Boss Pizza Sauce Recipes

BUDDY VALASTRO'S PIZZA DOUGH

Steps:

• Put the yeast in a small, heatproof bowl
• Warm ¼ cup water in a small pot over medium heat and pour it over the yeast
• Stir with a fork and let proof for 10 minutes
• Put the flour, water, salt and 2 tablespoons olive oil in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment
• Add the yeast and paddle on low speed until the mixture comes together
• Switch to the dough hook attachment and continue mixing, on medium-low speed, until the dough comes together in a ball, another 3-4 minutes
• Check the dough: If its too dry, mix in a bit more water
• If too sticky, add more flour
• Lightly flour a clean work surface
• Turn the dough onto the surface and knead until smooth and elastic, 5-7 minutes
• Form the dough into a ball
• Grease a medium mixing bowl with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, set the ball of dough in the bottom of the bowl and rotate to coat with the oil top the bowl loosely with plastic wrap or a slightly damp kitchen towel
• Let rest in a cool, dark place until the dough increases by about half its size, 30-45 minutes
• Clean and re-flour your work surface and transfer the dough to the surface
• Press down on it to deflate it
• Cut the dough into thirds (or desired portions), and form into tight balls to press out the excess air
• At this point, you may place the balls of dough on a floured baking sheet covered with oiled plastic or a damp towel, and let rise for 1 hour if you plan to use the dough on the same day
• Alternatively, you may place the dough on a lightly floured sheet, cover with a piece of plastic wrap moistened on the underside with oil, and refrigerate overnight
• Allow the dough to rest at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes before shaping/baking

PIZZA SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a saucepan over a low heat, then add the onion along with a generous pinch of salt. Fry gently for 12-15 mins or until the onion has softened and is turning translucent. Add the garlic and fry for a further min. Tip in the tomatoes and purée along with the bay, oregano and sugar. Bring to the boil and lower the heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 30-35 mins or until thickened and reduced. Season. For a really smooth sauce, blitz with a stick blender, otherwise leave as is.
• Stir the basil into the sauce. The sauce will cover 4-6 large pizza bases. Keeps well in the fridge for 1 week or stored in a container in the freezer.

BEST PIZZA SAUCE RECIPE (NO COOK, AUTHENTIC ITALIAN STYLE)

Steps:

• Pour the can of tomatoes into a bowl. If it is pomodorini or whole tomatoes, crush them with your hands, or you can roughly cut them with kitchen shears.
• Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Taste for salt and add if needed. (Don't add a lot of sauce to the pizza dough; you don't want to drown it.)

HOMEMADE PIZZA SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the oregano, garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until the garlic is golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, basil and 1/2 teaspoon salt and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer, with the saucepan loosely covered in foil to avoid splattering and stirring occasionally, until fairly thick, 5 to 10 minutes, depending on your tomatoes. Remove the basil.

THE BOSS BBQ SAUCE

Steps:

• Put a pot on the stove and put it over a low heat. Slowly add the ingredients in order that I listed except the French's mustard. Allow the sauce to heat evenly in the pot and stir very well before taste.
• Different brands of ingredients have different taste so try to avoid generic. If the sauce is too sweet for your taste you can cut the sweetness with French's mustard, soy sauce, and liquid smoke.
• If the sauce is not sweet enough you can add molases or brown sugar. BE CAREFUL! A lot goes a long way. So add a little, stir well, and retaste. Please do not burn your tongue. If you have killed your taste buds tasting it is always wise to bring someone else in to taste to make sure you are doing well.
• This is a great sauce and will stay good in your fridge for months and months. If you and your family don't eat it all up first.

BUDDY VALASTRO'S GRANDMA MADDALENA'S SAUSAGE LASAGNA

Steps:

• Sauce:.
• In a large heavy bottomed pot, heat the olive oil, add the beef, pork, veal and sausage (without casing) and cook until browned.
• Add garlic and oregano and cook until fragrant.
• Stir in the tomato paste and cook until the meat is coated.
• Add tomatoes with their juices and the tomato puree, season with salt and pepper and bring to a boil.
• Simmer over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until thickened about 1 1/2 hours.
• Ricotta:.
• In large bowl, combine the ricotta with the parsley, basil, 1 cup of the Parmesan, 1 pound of the shredded mozzarella and beaten eggs. Season with salt and pepper.
• Noodles:.
• The instructions suggested cooking the dry, curly-ridged lasagna noodles 3 minutes in abundant salted water, drained, rinsed -- I say use fresh, no-cook or even the curly edged pasta, and forget about the pre-cooking. I guarantee the sauce will cook the noodles after 45 minutes of cooking time. This also makes life much easier.
• Lasagna Time:.
• Preheat the oven to 375°F Spread 1.5 cup of the sauce in the bottom of a baking dish. Line the dish with overlapping noodles.
• Spread 1/3 of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, sprinkle with a little Parmesan and shredded mozzarella then top with 1 1/2 cups of the sauce and another layer of noodles.
• Repeat the layering 2 more times. Top with noodles and cover with 1 1/2 cups of sauce (may want to use extra if using uncooked noodles to ensure the noodles are covered and cook evenly. Sprinkle remaining mozzarella and Parmesan over the lasagna.
• Cover Lasagna with foil and bake for about 20 minutes.
• Uncover then cook for 30-45 minutes more or until the top is golden and crisp around the edges and the filling is bubbling.
• Let the lasagna rest for 20 minutes before serving.
