mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: provolone

Part-skim mozzarella reduces fat while maintaining flavor.

Italian sausage

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground beef

Ground turkey is leaner, while ground beef is often more affordable.

pizza dough

🥗Healthier: whole wheat dough

💰Cheaper: store-bought dough

Whole wheat dough adds fiber, while store-bought saves time.

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 the flour, water, yeast, salt, and olive oil until smooth.

Let the dough rise until it doubles in size.

Roll out the dough and place it in a deep dish pizza pan, creating a high edge.

Layer the bottom with slices of cheese, followed by cooked sausage, and then the peeled tomatoes.

Top with grated cheese before baking.

Bake in the oven until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
