Pizza Sauce (with dried Tomato Powder)

A few years ago I posted about this wonderful discovery that I found how to preserve tomatoes quick and easily by dehydrating them into tomato powder. This has been a very useful method of preserving tomatoes that has saved me a TON of time.

But what do you do with tomato powder?

That's a great question and today I'm going to share one of my favorite uses: Homemade pizza sauce. This is the recipe for pizza sauce that I use all the time now. We love it! And we love that we can use the tomatoes from our garden all year long.

Now don't worry if you don't have a garden or don't want to spend the time making dried tomato powder, you can still make this delicious pizza sauce. I've included an equivalent recipe that uses only cans of tomato sauce at the bottom.
