mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: provolone

Part-skim mozzarella reduces fat while maintaining flavor.

Italian sausage

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground beef

Ground turkey is leaner, while ground beef is often more affordable.

pizza dough

🥗Healthier: whole wheat dough

💰Cheaper: store-bought dough

Whole wheat dough adds fiber, while store-bought saves time.

pizza sauce

🥗Healthier: homemade tomato sauce

💰Cheaper: canned tomato sauce

Homemade sauce can be healthier, while canned is budget-friendly.

1

Prepare the pizza dough and let it rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

2

Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C) with a pizza stone inside if available.

3

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to fit a pizza pan.

4

Transfer the rolled dough to the greased pizza pan, pressing it into the edges.

5

Sprinkle cornmeal on the bottom of the pan to prevent sticking.

6

Spread a layer of pizza sauce evenly over the dough.

7

Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the sauce, covering it well.

8

Add toppings such as pepperoni, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and black olives as desired.

9

Sprinkle parmesan cheese over the top for added flavor.

10

Drizzle a little olive oil over the pizza for richness.

11

Season with basil, oregano, salt, and black pepper to taste.

12

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

13

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing.

14

Serve hot and enjoy your Chicago thin-crust pizza.
