How to Make Pizza at Home | Home Made Cheese Pizza recipe

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: provolone cheese

Part-skim mozzarella reduces fat while still providing good melt.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is a dairy-free alternative that adds umami.

pizza sauce

🥗Healthier: homemade tomato sauce

💰Cheaper: canned tomato sauce

Homemade sauce can be healthier with no preservatives.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Vegetable oil is more budget-friendly for greasing.

Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C).

Prepare a pizza stone or baking sheet by dusting it with cornmeal.

Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.

Transfer the rolled dough to the prepared pizza stone or baking sheet.

Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Sprinkle mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce.

Add grated parmesan cheese on top of the mozzarella.

Drizzle olive oil over the cheese for added flavor.

Sprinkle garlic, oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and salt over the pizza.

Add sliced tomatoes and onion on top if desired.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.

Garnish with fresh basil before slicing and serving.
