mozzarella cheese

Part-skim mozzarella reduces fat while maintaining flavor.

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grana padano

Nutritional yeast offers a cheesy flavor without dairy.

pepperoni

🥗Healthier: turkey pepperoni

💰Cheaper: salami

Turkey pepperoni is lower in fat and calories.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is more affordable and has a neutral flavor.

In a standing mixer, combine all-purpose flour, sugar, and yeast.

Mix the dry ingredients briefly.

Stream in warm water while mixing on low speed.

Add fine table salt (2 teaspoons) after the water is incorporated.

If the dough is sticking to the sides, add an additional tablespoon of flour.

Knead the dough until it comes together and is smooth.

Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size, approximately 2 hours.

While the dough rises, prepare the tomato sauce by combining crushed tomatoes, fresh garlic, fresh basil, olive oil, and a pinch of salt in a pan.

Cook the sauce partially covered for about 20 minutes, then let it cool.

Once the dough has risen, flour a work surface and cut the dough into two equal pieces for two 12-inch pizzas.

Knead each piece of dough into a ball, adding flour if it feels sticky.

Shape the dough by folding the sides together to form a disc, then pinch the bottom to seal.

Let the shaped dough rest briefly before rolling out.
