Vegetable oil is often less expensive and works well for baking.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is a lower-calorie option with a cheesy flavor.

pepperoni

🥗Healthier: turkey pepperoni

💰Cheaper: salami

Turkey pepperoni is lower in fat, while salami is often more affordable.

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Mix in olive oil until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Gradually add water, stirring until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.

Roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thick and cut into circles.

Place the dough circles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce on each biscuit.

Top with mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, and your choice of vegetables.

Sprinkle oregano and basil over the top.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
