pizza: I would rather make the pizza sauce than buy it in the store if there isn't diff bewteen the pizza sauce and tomatoe sauce?|||usually there really isn't that much of a difference other then perhaps the spices used in the sauce. Such as plain tomato sauce in a can doesn't have basil added. If your going to make a home-made pizza sauce just make sure your ingredients are fresh to get a better flavor pizza!! make sure when making your homemade pizza dough that you use Strong white flour is best (in some countries this flour is marked as bread flour). here are my top two pizza dough recipes it depends on how you like your crust!! Thin Pizza crust: 1 envelope of dry yeast 1/4 teaspoon of sugar 3/4 cup of lukewarm water 1 3/4 cups of unbleached plain flour 1/2 teaspoon of salt Step by Step Procedure --------------------------------------鈥?br> Combine 1 envelope of dry yeast, 1/4 teaspoon of sugar and 3/4 cups of lukewarm water. Mix a little and let sit for 6-8 minutes. Combine 1 3/4 cups of unbleached plain flour with 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a bowl or food processor. Pour the water combination into the bowl (or food processor) and mix until ready to knead (around 30 second in a food processor). If using a bowl, mix with a spoon until you have a neat ball. Prepare a lightly spinkled surface with flour. Turn out dough and knead for around 2-3 minutes. Lightly cover your finger tips with flour if the mixture is a little sticky. Roll out by hand for a 12'' base. Place in 12'' lighly oiled oven pan. Press out dough to form a slight lip. Prepare and apply your sauce and topping or choice. Cook in a pre-heated over (500F) for 8-12 minutes (times may vary based on different ovens. Fan assited oven will be quicker!). Remove from oven, slice and share with your favourite friends and/or family members :) Thick pizza crust: 1 1/2 cups warm water (105F) 4 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour 1 tablespoons of olive oil 2 1/2 teaspoon of granulated sugar 2 1/2 teaspoon of salt 1/2 teaspoon of yeast 1/2 cup cornmeal Step by Step Procedure --------------------------------------鈥?br> In a large bowl, dissolve sugar and salt in water. Add oil and flour and stir with heavy spoon for 1 minute. Turn out to a lightly floured surface and press into a circle. Sprinkle yeast evenly over dough and knead for 12 minutes. Divide dough into portions: 6 oz. for Calzones, 18 oz. for 12 inch, 25 oz. for 15 inch Roll each portion into a ball. You want a dough ball without visible seams except the bottom. Place dough balls in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and allow to proof for 1鈭? hours at room temperature to use the same day, or store in refrigerator to use the next day. Place dough ball on lightly floured surface, and lightly flour the top. Use fingertips to evenly flatten out the dough ball. Work from the edges to the center press dough into a 12" circle. Place both hands within the shell edge and stretch with fingertips and palms maintaining an even pressure. Or, use a lightly floured rolling pin to stretch to desired shape. Sprinkle cornmeal or semolina on pizza peel (a wooden paddle with a handle to slide the pizza in the oven) or a cutting board. The cornmeal allows the pizza to slide onto the stone easily. After topping the pizza, when you are ready to cook it. Shake the peel or cutting board to make sure none of the dough is sticking. Carefully slide the pizza into the oven. Bake in a 500 degree oven for 20-25 minutes, until crust is golden|||There is no real difference between pizza sauce and spaghetti sauce. In stores, they might add different seasonings to the different sauces, but when you make it at home, it all comes down to tomato puree!|||There's some differences in spices commonly used in these different sauces. For example, pizza sauce tends to be a bit spicier, while many spaghetti sauces are chunky style. A basic tomatoe sauce is usually pretty thin and bland, but you can add whatever you want to it.|||The difference is in concentration of flava! With pasta sauce you'll have a couple of cups per meal on it, with pizza maybe 3/4 of a cup. It needs to be stronger for your mouth to taste it! .|||Pizza sauce is a mixture of tomato paste and tomato sauce with the additions of garlic and herbs. Spaghetti sauce is made with canned or roasted tomatoes, garlic, herbs and whatever else you fancy, such as red wine. It benefits from a long simmer as this develops the flavour. As for a pizza dough recipe, I make this one about once a month and the base tastes so much better than store bought: 18-19ounces (510-540 grams) of strong flour 1 sachet of dry instant yeast (about 7g) 1/2 teaspoon of salt 12 fluid ounces (340ml) very warm water 1 tablespoon honey 1 tablespoon olive oil Combine 15 ounces (425g) of the flour, the yeast, and salt in a medium bowl. Stir in the very warm water, honey, and olive oil, stirring until the mixture begins to leave the sides of the bowl. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gather it into a ball. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes, until soft, smooth and elastic, adding enough of the remaining flour to stop the dough from sticking. Put it in a large greased bowl and turn to coat evenly. Cover the dough with cling film or a clean tea towel and place on the lowest oven rack. Turn oven onto the lowest setting for 1 minute and then turn off. Leave dough in oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until doubled in size. Punch dough down, and knead ten times on a lightly floured surface. Cut in half and shape each half into a ball. Cover and let rest while you prepare the toppings and then roll out with a rolling pin into a 12inch (30cm) round pizza. Sounds like a hassle I know, but don't be put off. It's well worth it and very therapeutic.|||Pizza sauce is usually thicker so it stays on the crust. If you use pasta sauce it will run off the crust. Trust me I have tried both on pizza. Use the right type of sauce for the dish.
