black olives

🥗Healthier: green olives

💰Cheaper: canned olives

Green olives provide a different flavor profile while canned olives are typically cheaper.

Parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated cheese blend

Nutritional yeast offers a cheesy flavor without dairy, while a blend can be more affordable.

pizza dough

🥗Healthier: whole wheat dough

💰Cheaper: store-bought dough

Whole wheat dough increases fiber content, while store-bought options save time.

Add 150 ml of warm water, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 2 teaspoons of yeast into the bread maker and stir to activate the yeast.

Add 250 g of flour, 1 tablespoon of rice bran oil, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt into the bread maker.

Knead the dough for 10 to 12 minutes or by hand until combined.

Stretch the dough over the pizza tray and cover it, letting it rise for 40 minutes.

Mix tomato paste with crushed garlic and spread it over the dough.

Chop mushrooms, red capsicum, and cherry tomatoes and add them on top of the tomato paste.

Add mozzarella cheese and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and chopped spring onions.

Season with salt, black pepper, and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil.

Bake in the oven until cooked, then garnish with torn basil leaves.
