Pizza Sauce!

Aaron and I made pizza from scratch last night and the sauce was made from our freshly picked san marzano tomatoes. We blanched and skinned them and ran them through the food mill and cooked it down. We added some salt, olive oil and garlic and boiled them down until it was saucy thick. MAN, was it delicious! It not only looked bright and fresh, but it tasted AMAZING!!
We made 3 pizzas and they were all quite fantastic; 1 greek style (fresh oregano and basil from the garden), 1 super and 1 spicy. We use a dough recipe from: Pizza on the Grill: 100 Feisty Fire-Roasted Recipes for Pizza & More. We also use Caputo flour which, in our opinion, makes all the difference. The dough is always easy to roll out and easy to get it super thin (we use hands not a pin!). We ate the first pizza too fast and didn't get a picture. Really, homemade pizza cooked on the grill is in a whole different league than delivery or frozen.
