Looks tasty, jb. Love your name, by the way.

I have to agree with you that both crust and sauce are crucial. Sometimes it is better to have one than none. But there's just no beating it when both are in the zone.

What's your favorite sauce: spicy, sweet, or tangy?

1 28oz can 6-1 crushed tomatoes
2tbls REAL UNPASTURIZED unsalted butter
1 small yellow onion finely diced
2 cloves of garlic pressed (or as many as you like)
1 tbls fresh chopped basil
2 tbls fresh chopped oregano
1 teas fresh thyme
1/4 teas fresh ground pepper
1/4 teas salt
1/4 to 1/2 cup good italian dry red wine
saute onions in butter till clear (10min)
add wine reduce by at least 1/2 volume 1/4 is best DO NOT BOIL!!!
add garlic & herbs salt & pepper simmer for 10min.
add tomatoes & simmer for 2 to 4 hours (the longer it simmers the sweeter it be)
simmer = under 200deg AGAIN DO NOT BOIL if your stove is to hot use your oven
stir every 15min
I also add 1/4 cup diced yellow bell peppers cause I like em


I see you live in Wisconsin you lucky girl, you have access to Grande mozz. ever try it Question

GRANDE CHEESE: A super-premium mozzarella cheese produced by the Grande Cheese Company based in Lomira, Wisconsin. Their signature mozzarella cheese is rich and creamy, soft and tender, with excellent taste and cooking (melting) characteristics. Used by many reputable New York pizzerias, this high-butterfat cheese is credited for leaving those yellow trails of oil running down your arm when you eat a slice of genuine NY-style pizza.

Not quite that simple, I'm afraid. I remember drinking Grande milk in school, but I haven't seen Grande products in quite a while now.

I'm in the middle of nowhere and all we have is Wal-Mart Supercenter (not as super as it sounds) and one other store that I don't go to. Wal-Mart doesn't carry Grande here. They don't carry a lot of good stuff. And their Great Value brand cheese has inconsistent quality.

But I believe I'll try an internet search for Grande. Better cheese is always worth some effort. Sometimes you have to fight for your pizza. Wink

Thank you for the link. And the suggestion. I'll look for Poly-O next time I'm at wally world here, in case they've decided to stock something I'm looking for. Very Happy

picture indicates, crust well done, not spun maybe, too hot at back of oven
our oven is always 550 degrees for 2 hrs proir to cooking
I put pepperoni on bottom (first topping always) then it too dosn"t burn because being paper thin
just my thoughts, looks delicious though making me hungry Laughing

The brand Bond uses is what I use also. I also have only found same at my local Super Wally World. It is pretty good. Lacking the buffalo variety; it is darn good. Smile

Anywhaze, I was 'kinda surprised I saw Bond here. Hey 007, Adjudicator here. YOU KNOW WHERE! Razz

I just tried 007-bond's recipe. Delicious!!! I am a huge sauce fanatic (not that the crust isn't important too, but bad sauce kills the pizza for me), and I am highly impressed.

Both crust and sauce are essential to make the pizza more tasty. The taste will depend on how spicy the sauce is. Well it's always better with tomato sauce
