💰Cheaper: provolone cheese

Part-skim mozzarella reduces fat, while provolone is a cost-effective substitute.

Flour your table lightly to prepare for the pizza crust.

Take the pizza dough and flour it a little, then stretch it out using your fingers in a round motion.

If the dough gets sticky, add more flour and continue to stretch it out.

Leave the dough a bit thick for an interesting texture with some holes in it.

Transfer the stretched dough onto a seasoned pizza baking stone.

Brush a little olive oil on top of the dough, avoiding getting too close to the stone to prevent burning.

Add whole milk mozzarella cheese on top of the dough, being careful not to overload it.

Sprinkle some grated parmesan cheese on top for added flavor.

Add fresh thyme to the pizza for seasoning.

Sprinkle a little dried Italian seasoning and sea salt on top to enhance the flavors.

Bake the pizza in the oven, checking for doneness between 10 to 20 minutes depending on the thickness of the crust and the ingredients used.

Check the bottom of the crust with a spatula; if it's golden brown, it's ready to be taken out.

If there are large bubbles on the pizza, slice into them with a pizza cutter and pat them down.
