Gluten-free cooking sometimes can be difficult when members of the family have to follow completely different menu. However, today it's not hard to find recipes for favorite dishes that the entire family will enjoy. One recipe, gluten free pizza sauce recipe, is a good base for a family favorite any time. It's a simple recipe to make with ingredients that are often on hand or can be easily purchased.

There are a number of different versions of the basic gluten free pizza sauce recipe. They all use a tomato base, olive oil and various spices. The tomato base can be tomato paste, tomato sauce or whole peeled canned or fresh tomatoes. Some recipes call for a small amount of sugar or honey as a sweetener. The spices are an essential part of the recipe. Oregano and basil are the two spices most commonly used in a pizza sauce recipe. These spices, which are both are members of the mint family, give a hint of mint to the sauce. Oregano provides a rather bitter flavor, while basil offers a sweeter taste. Fennel seed, another spice often used in pizza sauce, tastes similar to anise. Garlic and onion also are two very popular ingredients; they can be used in fresh, frozen, or jarred forms depending on preference. Olive oil provides a smooth flavor to the sauce, and also acts to hold together the flavor of the other spices that have been added.

A basic pizza sauce recipe that doesn't require cooking begins with a six-ounce can of tomato paste. Olive oil, garlic powder and oregano, sugar and salt are added for flavoring, as well as apple cider vinegar. The ingredients are mixed together and allowed to stand at room temperature for about 30 minutes to allow them to blend, and then spread on gluten free pizza crust.

There are a number of different cooked pizza sauce recipes available that use many different types of spices and other ingredients. The recipes begin with one of the different tomato bases. Once spices such as oregano, basil, fennel seed and parley and seasonings like garlic are added, the mixture is typically simmered on the stove for between 15 and 25 minutes. For an extra kick try adding crushed red pepper flakes to the mix. It doesn't take much so remember if you want it more spicy you can always add more. The sauce is then spread on gluten free pizza dough and cheese and pizza toppings are added. These simple recipes help make a pizza the entire family can enjoy, even if everyone is not following a gluten free diet
