parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast offers a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Vegetable oil is more affordable for cooking.

Mix bread flour with water until flour is no longer dry and cover to rest for 30 minutes.

Dissolve instant dry yeast in water and mix with the flour after the resting period.

Add olive oil, sugar, and salt to the dough mixture and knead for 8 minutes in a KitchenAid mixer.

Form the dough into a ball and place it in a bowl covered with plastic wrap to proof at room temperature for 2 hours or until doubled in size.

Split the dough into two pieces, each weighing about 310 grams, and shape into discs.

Proof the shaped discs on a parchment-lined sheet tray sprayed with non-stick spray for 1 to 1.5 hours or refrigerate for up to 24 hours.

Sprinkle a wooden pizza peel with cornmeal and dust the work surface with bread flour.

Stretch the dough into a 12 to 13 inch disc without rolling it out, using fingers to press air from the center to the edges.

Prepare a simple raw San Marzano tomato sauce for the pizza.
