More information on the ingredients

Tomato Puree

Behind every good pizza sauce is a good tomato puree. This provides a strong base of thick tomato flavour to build your sauce on.

Never just use tomato puree as on its own it doesn’t really make a very good pizza sauce and can often burn or dry out.

Average cost of Tomato Puree : £1.10

Garlic Puree

Tomatoes and garlic go together really well and it is full of great health benefits so adding a small amount to your pizza sauce will really lift it.

Average cost of Garlic Puree : £0.80

Smoked Paprika

The smoked paprika delivers a tiny touch of heat and bbq to the sauce and takes it beyond a simple tomato sauce to something a bit more special.

Average cost of smoked paprika : £1.60

Salt and Pepper

Add some salt and pepper for seasoning.

Average cost for salt and pepper spices : £4.00 (for the pair)

Tomato Ketchup

This ingredient may take you buy surprise but it is really pivotal to a successful pizza sauce.

The tomato ketchup provides a hit of sweetness that compliments the smoked paprika and also adds just the right amount of moisture to the sauces to stop it drying out when cooked and staying as a nice thick sauce.

Average cost for 900g of tomato ketchup : £2.50

Pepperoni

Pepperoni is a mix of beef and pork cured with paprika, salt, garlic and a few spices, and is a classic pizza topping known the world over. You can buy a whole sausage of pepperoni but for this recipe I recommend getting the sliced version as it will be nice and thin which is perfect for this recipe.

Average cost of a pack of sliced pepperoni : £1:15

Gouda Cheese

Gouda cheese is fact becoming my cheese of choice for toasties as it comes with a soft smoky flavour and melts really well. Therefore, it was a great choice for this pepperoni pizza toastie and it compliments the slightly spicy pepperoni.

Thick cut bread

You could use a medium cut bread for this toastie but I opted for thick to ensure all that sauce and cheese was contained within the toasted sandwich. You could also use the specialist toastie cut.

Equipment required for this recipe

To create this pepperoni pizza toastie I used my trustee Tower 3-in-1 toasted sandwich maker with the closed toastie plates.

This toastie is a great choice for a traditional Breville toasted sandwich maker or could be made in the oven.
