    My mother-in-law taught me to put the baking soda in my spaghetti sauce and pizza sauce to "sweeten" the sauce and stains would come out of shirts and table linens. Also relieves heartburn. She was siccilian
    and it made the sauce taste great!

    • @TwilightxKnight13
      @TwilightxKnight13 Před 7 měsíci +2

      A small amount of baking soda and sugar in your tomato sauce is a "key" ingredient to cut the acidity. It almost "smooths" the sauce without stripping away the freshness.

    Yesss I wanted this today! Just got a Breville smart oven air fryer that has a pizza setting I want to try!

    • @DeathMetalDerf
      @DeathMetalDerf Před 2 lety +6

      If I could make a small suggestion, use the smart oven to cook the dough just a little bit before you top it with whatever you're going to add. When I did ours the other night I cooked it straight from raw with sauce, cheese, and toppings, and the smart oven had a small problem with getting the dough in the middle fully cooked, and I had to toss out what I made and start over. Good luck! We love our Breville!

    I can't believe I have never thought of using both dry and fresh herbs in my sauce at the same time like you did with the oregano! I'm willing to bet it will really help round out the flavors, and very well could be what my sauce has been missing the entire time.

    • @JoshDragRace0688
      @JoshDragRace0688 Před 2 lety +1

      Ya its pretty important to have both, same thing in spaghetti sauce, or any red sauce really will be better if you use fresh and dry herbs.

    • @TwilightxKnight13
      @TwilightxKnight13 Před 7 měsíci

      Definitely there is a difference in flavor between dry and fresh herbs. While oregano is a good example of this, the most important one, IMO, is basil. Fresh basil is so much better than dry its almost a different herb entirely. Never use grocery store Italian seasoning. Make you own, but substitute fresh basil for the dry and...ENJOY!

    I like thin new York pizza.
    I don't have the high temp oven.. when I baked the bottom was done but the sides still needed more cooking time.
    I thought about it and this method worked out.
    I used a cast iron pan...the biggest one I have..
    I threw corn meal at bottom and then pressed the dough around. I cook on stove top until it was crispy..then I flipped it over to cook other side.
    Laid on my sauce and toppings.
    Then put all under a broiler at 500.
    Just enough to brown the top.
    It works!!! No lie.

    For that cauliflower crust: I used to be on keto, and loved the cauliflower pizza crust. If you want to prep you cauliflower ahead of time, I used to do 3-4 heads at once, and drain the liquid using a cheese press. You can buy cheap plastic cheese presses online for under $15. I would NEVER use them for cheese making, but they work great for squeezing water out of veggies.

    well i believe the simmering for hours depends on how thin or thick you want your sauce also concentrated the flavor of your sauce since you are reducing its water content but yeah it depends on the person and how they like their sauce

  • @MarkNedostup
    @MarkNedostup Před 2 lety

    As for canned tomatoes, to my mind the one brand far and away better than all others is "Jersey Fresh" crushed tomatoes. Don't know how widely they are available. Have a really nice fresh taste. Plus a list on the label of all the additives they don't have. Plus they are priced in the middle of the range. There are only a couple of other products I have such a strong bond with: butter from Minerva Dairies in Ohio and that fantastic Italian pasta that was at the supermarket for a while and then for some reason disappeared. Can't remember the brand name, but its cellophane package was olive green at one end.

    I've been using the baking soda trick for YEARS. Even in coffee if it's bitter. It's a chemical base, which will neutralize the acid in any food you put it in. JUST A LITTLE, otherwise, you get salty coffee. By the way, in a coffee emergency, salt works too.

  • @floramew
    @floramew Před 2 lety +3

    I imagine the anchovy adds a bit of salty & umami flavors? I've had a few vegetarian & vegan friends, so I try to look out for meat substitutes when feasible... salt would be easy enough to add, but umami is tough. Do you (anyone who's reading this lol) think yeast extract (a la marmite) would be a suitable sub? It should be an interesting flavor either way, but unsure if it'll be interesting in a similar way

    • @nopenonein
      @nopenonein Před 2 lety +2

      You could try a little bit of miso. Another alternative is Lee Kum Kee mushroom sauce, it is a vegetarian substitute for their famous oyster sauce. Both are salty and rich in umami flavours.
