1. PIZZA SAUCE
A EXPERIMENT WITH DIFFERENT INGREDIENTS

2. • Pizzas earlier were often sweet dishes, not savory.
• Also, around the 18th century, the poor around the area of
Naples got accustomed to adding tomatoes to their yeast-based
flat bread, and that’s how the modern pizza came into existence.
• A number of historical records show that people have been
adding different ingredients to bread to make it more appetizing.
• Pizza originally started off as a dish for poor people, sold in the
streets and not a food for upper class people.
DID YOU KNOW?

3. • Pesto Sauce: The easiest sauce recipe which includes basil
leaves, cloves garlic, pine nuts, extra-virgin olive oil, freshly
grated cheese etc. So let go the traditional sauce on your pizza,
make a pesto sauce to give a new taste to your pizza this time.
• Béchamel Sauce: Yes a white pizza. You can make a white pizza
with an easy béchamel (or white) sauce. Make a roux with flour
and butter and cook it with milk and seasonings to make a
delicious white sauce that's perfect for people who aren't a fan of
tomato sauce.
• Salsa Sauce: Salsa is another easy alternative to pizza sauce and
works especially well if you add chorizo, corn, beans, and other
Latin- toppings. Go for a tomato-based salsa if you don't want to
stray too far from traditional pizza, or try a salsa Verde made of
tomatillos and cilantro.
TYPES OF PIZZA SAUCE

4. • Barbecue Sauce: You can also try your hand at the famous
barbecue sauce. Bored of barbecue pizza? Why not try the sauce!
Easy to make, tasty to use, your very own barbecue sauce.
• Pumpkin Sauce: Adding some pureed pumpkin into a tomato-
based sauce helps to tone down the acidity while adding
vitamins and flavor. Just mix canned pumpkin with some tomato
sauce and seasonings and use like regular sauce.

5. • Tapenade Sauce: Is a spread made of olives, is super-flavorful
and the perfect condiment for pizza. Add grilled vegetables and
olive oil to add to the taste.
• Carrots and Harissa Sauce: Carrots and Harissa are a natural
pair and are another great substitute for pizza sauce. Cook and
puree the carrots, and blend them with harissa, garlic, and
spices for a flavorful pizza base. But if you're sensitive to
nightshades you can exclude the harissa.

6. • Pepper Jelly Sauce: Sweet and spicy red pepper jelly is a
delicious condiment on cheese by itself, so why not on a cheese
pizza? Add sausage and sweet peppers to pump up the flavor on
this unique pie and the most mouthwatering pizza is ready!
• Caramelized Onion Sauce: Onions, slow-cooked and
caramelized until they are meltingly brown, sweet, and savory,
are a delicious base for almost anything. Spread the onions on
the pizza and top with feta cheese, prosciutto, mushrooms,
arugula or spinach, and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.

7. • Chimichurri Sauce: The Argentine chimichurri sauce is a potent
blend of parsley, oregano, garlic, and olive oil. Traditionally used
on meats, it is definitely delicious on pizza as well.
• Thai Chili Sauce: Another experiment could be Thai Chili
Sauce, the Sweet and spicy Thai chili sauce is a great base for an
Asian-themed pizza. You can top it with plenty of vegetables and
some cooked chicken, tofu, or shrimp. You can even omit the
cheese to keep it tasting fresh and yummy.

8. • Curry Sauce: You must be wondering, what a weird name to a
sauce, but, here me out, this one is surely going to let your
senses experience an orgasmic experience. A curry pizza can be a
convenient weekday meal, especially when paired with premade
naan bread. Spread the curry sauce on the naan and top it with
chicken and paneer, a mild Indian cheese and you are done!
• Tandoori Sauce (the desi touch): Marinate chunks of chicken
with tandoori seasoning and yogurt and then cook them with
onions. Put the seasoned cooked chicken on a crust and top it
with shredded cheese.
