pizza dough

🥗Healthier: whole wheat dough

💰Cheaper: store-bought dough

pizza sauce

🥗Healthier: homemade tomato sauce

💰Cheaper: canned tomato sauce

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

Prepare the dough by mixing 1 kg of flour, 12 g of fresh yeast, 600 ml of water, 22 g of salt, and 40 ml of olive oil.

Let the dough rise for 2 hours at room temperature.

Divide the dough into 500-gram balls and let them rise in a pan for about 1.5 hours.

Assemble the pizza by placing the dough in a deep dish, layering with 200 g of sliced cheese, 200 g of sausage, and 200 g of peeled tomatoes, then topping with 100 g of grated cheese.

Drizzle with olive oil before baking.

Bake at 220°C for 25 minutes.
