👨‍🍳 Method

1
In a bowl, mix the tomatoes with the salt. Don't cook it: the sauce cooks on the pizza in the oven.
⚙ SimmeringStoveSmall saucepan
💡Spread cooled sauce on pizza: hot sauce softens the dough even before baking.
💡A gentle simmer, not a boil: a hard boil dries the food out and clouds it, a slow simmer cooks it evenly.
