A delightful pizza sauce inspired by the flavors of Cincinnati, perfect for your homemade pizzas.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking to avoid burning the ingredients.
Add the tomato puree to the pot and stir gently.
Pour the puree slowly to prevent splattering.
Mix in the dried basil, oregano, thyme, parsley, and salt.
Crush the dried herbs slightly in your hands before adding to release their aroma.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated carrot.
Grate the carrot finely to ensure it blends well into the sauce.
Add the honey, brown sugar, and freshly ground pepper, stirring to combine.
Taste the sauce and adjust the sweetness or seasoning as needed.
Simmer the sauce uncovered on low heat, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes.
Stir frequently to prevent the sauce from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Let the sauce cool slightly before using it as a pizza topping.
Allowing the sauce to cool enhances its flavor and makes it easier to spread.
