Part-skim mozzarella reduces fat while maintaining flavor.

pepperoni

🥗Healthier: turkey pepperoni

💰Cheaper: salami

Turkey pepperoni lowers calories, while salami is often less expensive.

pizza sauce

🥗Healthier: homemade tomato sauce

💰Cheaper: canned tomato sauce

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

black olives

🥗Healthier: green olives

💰Cheaper: no olives

Green olives provide a similar flavor, while omitting olives is cost-effective.

Start by mixing 1.5 cups of carb quick with 0.5 teaspoons of salt in a bowl.

Add 2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning to the dry ingredients and mix well.

Pour in 1/3 cup of hot water and stir until a dough starts to form.

If the dough is too crumbly, gradually add more hot water until it sticks together, usually around 2/3 cup total.

Turn the dough out onto a piece of parchment paper and knead it slightly to combine.

Roll out the dough between two pieces of parchment paper to fit the bottom of the slow cooker.

Grease the bottom of the slow cooker with 2 tablespoons of butter for flavor.

Carefully flip the rolled dough into the bottom of the slow cooker, ensuring it fits well.

Use a fork to poke steam holes in the crust to prevent it from bubbling up during cooking.

Spread about 0.5 cups of Rao's marinara sauce evenly over the crust.
