Homemade Tomate Sauce Pizza

Home-made pizza is no comparison to the commercial ones. They have better ovens, automated, perfecto temperatures etc etc. But home-made pizzas have such an earthy taste, so warm. A very simple recipe. using both my Microwave-Grill oven and gas stove. Another plus is the home-made tomato sauce.

Tomato Sauce Ingredients:
10 ripe Tomatoes (Purée in a blender)
1 tbsp chopped onion
1 tbsp minced garlic
2 tsp sugar
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried basil
1 tbsp chopped fresh basil
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
salt and pepper to taste

Method:
1. Sauté the Garlic and Onions in the olive oil for 5 minutes and add the other ingredients except the basil.
2. Simmer and cover the pizza sauce for about 15-20 minutes, keep stirring in between.
3. Add the chopped basil when the sauce is ready. If during the simmering, the sauce becomes too thick, add some water.
4. Let the sauce cool down before using.

Now for the pizza. I use a 6" dia base. My oven won't house any bigger.

Pizza Ingredients:
6" dia Pizza base
Chicken Sausages (Italian+Herbed) Cut at an angle
1/2 cup Mozzarella cheese
Processed Cheese Slices
1/2 tsp Thyme
1 tbsp Olive oil

Method
I first heated a skillet on gas stove. Since I was using a Grill with top-heat, cooking the base is equally important.

Spread Tomato sauce over the Pizza base. Sprinkle some Thyme and cover with Sausage slices. Cover with grated Mozerella cheese and Processed cheese slices. Dab on some Olive Oil.

Keep the Base on a Grill-stand, near to heat. Grill for 10-15 minutes till cheese melts. Then take out the Pizza carefully and place it on the skillet. And let the base get brown. Slice and enjoy.
