Break Through on the Pizza Front

My husband and I have been trying to come up with the perfect pizza sauce for what seems like forever now. The sauce is just never quite right, so I've been playing around with it and trying different things every time.

I've tried garlic and hot pepper flakes and different brands of canned tomatoes but nothing was getting me to the taste I was looking for. Finally last night I added just a pinch of sugar and viola! Great Sauce!!

So now that we have achieved sauce perfection I am going to move on to the dough. I still haven't found a recipe for that fluffy light crust that makes a pizza perfect. I will say that in a pinch Shaw's pizza dough is very good, although I really like to try and make my own dough when I have the time.

Here's what I used:
1 can of Hunts tomato sauce
a bunch of chopped fresh parsley and basil
3 garlic cloves minced
1 tbs. olive oil
pinch of sugar
red pepper flakes (use as many as you personally like, I like a little heat to my sauce)
