Pizza is one of the foods that each individual has an opinion on which kind of crust, sauce, cheese and toppings to put together.  When I was little, pizza was just starting to be introduced to my home town in Japan.  (There was a bigger delay for small towns like mine before new things came finally reach from big towns at that time.)   My mom put tomato sauce out of a jar and shredded cheese onto sliced French bread then toasted it.  That&#8217;s it, really.  I thought it was the best food that exists on earth \ud83d\ude42  Thankfully, my choices of food have tremendously broadened since then, but Pizza still ranks as one of my favorites.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">I can proudly say that I&#8217;m the least pickiest eater.  I would be happy to eat just about anything I am served with a couple little exceptions (reptiles, bugs, etc.), but you can easily pursue everyday life without worrying about having those on your plate.  As to pizza crust, I enjoy all types of style and flavor.  However, the crust my family eats at home most often is deep dish crust which is adapted from Gino&#8217;s East Pizza Crust Recipe.  I sometimes have the temptation to give it a twist here and there to make it something we can call our own, but we are very satisfied with this original recipe and afraid of messing it up with our &#8220;creativity&#8221;.  Maybe after a little more adaptation and some practice, we will be ready to try our version of crust&#8230; just maybe&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/921mojo.com\/norikoburky\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/032711f2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-98\" title=\"032711f\" src=\"http:\/\/921mojo.com\/norikoburky\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/032711f2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"750\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\">Basic Italian Tomato Sauce<\/h1>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/921mojo.com\/norikoburky\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/040111a2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-99\" title=\"040111a\" src=\"http:\/\/921mojo.com\/norikoburky\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/040111a2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"750\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe\">\n<table class=\"ERHDTable\" border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><span class=\"item ERName\"><span class=\"fn\">Basic Italian Tomato Sauce<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" valign=\"top\">\n<div class=\"ERRatingOuter\" style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"ERRatingInner\" style=\"width: 0%;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"review hreview-aggregate\"><span class=\"rating\"><span class=\"average\">#ratingval#<\/span> from <span class=\"count\">#reviews#<\/span> reviews<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"ERHDPrint\" valign=\"top\">\n<div class=\"btnERPrint\" style=\"display: none;\">Print<a href=\"#printlink#\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Recipe Type: <span class=\"tag\">Main<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Author: <span class=\"author\">NorikoBurky<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Prep time: <span class=\"preptime\">15 mins<span class=\"value-title\" title=\"PT15M\"> <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cook time: <span class=\"cooktime\">30 mins<span class=\"value-title\" title=\"PT30M\"> <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Total time: <span class=\"duration\">45 mins<span class=\"value-title\" title=\"PT45M\"> <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Serves: <span class=\"yield\">3 cups<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERSummary\"><span class=\"summary\">This tomato sauce can be used for pizza, pasta and many other dishes.<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERIngredientsHeader\">Ingredients<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ingredients\">\n<li class=\"ingredient\">10 Roma Tomatoes<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1\/3 white onion<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">3 cloves garlic<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">3Tbsp olive oil<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1\/2tsp salt<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1\/4tsp black pepper<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1tsp thyme<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1tsp fennel seeds<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1tsp basil<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1tsp oregano<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">3Tbsp tomato paste<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">4Tbsp ketchup<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1\/2tsp sugar<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1Tbsp vinegar<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"ERInstructionsHeader\">Instructions<\/div>\n<div class=\"instructions\">\n<ol>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Make a small cross cut on each end of the tomatoes.
