Pizza sauce & pizza cheese
Your Piero's pizza is
almost done, but you can still fail big.
Please follow exactly the instructions on
how to put the toppings on your pizza.
For the tomato sauce use approximately 4 1/8 oz. (this
equals approximately 1/2 cup) passata
(that is a thick & pure tomato sauce, some
also call it pureed tomatoes). Pour the
passata directly out of the pack onto the
dough. Start in the center and form a spiral
to the outer edge. Leave the rim intact.
The tomato sauce for this pizza will cost you approximately US $ 0.16.

Many amateur
chefs put sauces on their pizzas
– e.g. ragù (meat sauce). This
hides the individual topping
flavors of the pizza. The
individual flavor of an olive, a
piece of onion or a slice of
chili-pepperoni is important to
the overall taste of a pizza.
The unseasoned passata has its
own flavor in the composition.
If it is missing, all the rest
will not taste good either.
Although unseasoned pureed
tomatoes do not taste yummy when
eaten on their own, they add an
important individual flavor to
the distinctive taste of Piero's
pizza.

Do not use "pizza
tomatoes" or similar canned "pizza sauces"!

"Pizza tomatoes"
are commonly understood to be
chopped tomatoes and normally
come in cans. The chopped
tomatoes swim in their own
juice, which is practically
water. On the finished pizza
this will result in small,
flavorless pools of water. The
bottom will become soggy, the
toppings watery. "Pizza
tomatoes" are no substitute for
passata but actually additional
toppings once the excess water
has been drained off. Instead of
canned tomatoes it is much
better to use fresh tomatoes. |
