In our cooking class we had to make our own sauce we would like on our pizza. For my sauce I wanted it to be a little spicy but not to much with some savory hints in their and i wanted some sweetness and sourness in their so everything mixed together to create a balance of flavors. So I first started with what I would definitely need which was tomato sauce and tomato paste. After adding the basic needs for my sauce I added some oregano, basil, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning to give my sauce a savory taste. Next, I added some paprika, chili powder, crushed red pepper and hot sauce to give my sauce a little bit of a spicy taste. The third thing I added was some sugar to give my sauce some sweetness so the spicy and sweetness would balance and nothing would be to overpowering. Lastly, I added some lemon juice to give it a sour and acidic taste to enhance all the flavors together. Once I added all the seasonings together it was a great flavor and everything was balanced very well.
In The pizza we made for our lab it was not what I was expecting. I thought it would turn out better but it didn’t as much as what i thought so. I didn’t get to roll the dough flat enough because I was running out of time so the dough was kind of pretty thick. But other than the dough everything turned out pretty good. Only I wish I didn’t add as much basil to my sauce because I tasted the flakes a lot more than you should. The aroma of the pizza was very good. And it tasted really good. And when it came out of the oven it looked very good because the cheese was all melted. I personally would not make this again because the pizza reminded me of a lunchable because of the sauce I made and how thick the crust was and how kinda hard it was once it was chilled. But other than that it was a very fun lab and I enjoyed making the pizza.
