Nutritional yeast offers a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Vegetable oil is more affordable for cooking.

Place whole pear tomatoes into the blender and blend for about 10 seconds.

Heat a pan on medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

Press 1 clove of garlic into the oil and let it heat until translucent, about 1 minute.

Add the blended tomato sauce to the pan.

Stir in 1 teaspoon of sugar and 1 teaspoon of salt.

Add a couple of fresh basil leaves and mix well.

Cook the sauce for about 15 minutes to evaporate excess water.

Prepare the pizza dough by removing it from the bowl and coating it in flour to prevent sticking.

Stretch the dough to form a narrow crust without pressing too hard.

Place the stretched dough on a pizza screen for even cooking.

Ladle about 8 ounces of pizza sauce onto the dough, spreading it to the rim.

Add whole milk mozzarella cheese, starting from the rim and filling to the center.

Preheat the oven to 550°F.

Bake the pizza on the bottom rack for about 8 minutes.

Turn the pizza and bake for an additional 3 minutes.

Remove the pizza from the oven and cut it into slices.
