Pizza

We eat pizza about three times a month here. I never have to worry about complaints when I serve pizza and it is quick to put together when I have the dough on hand in the refrigerator. Plus, I can make three pepperoni pizzas for under $10, which is much less expensive than ordering in and I am in control of the ingredients.

  

Pizza

1 lb. artisan bread dough

1 cup pizza sauce

1 cup grated mozzarella cheese

Grated parmesan cheese to taste

Additional toppings – pepperoni, onion, green pepper, olives, banana peppers, mushrooms, etc.

Move oven rack to second lowest position and preheat oven to 400˚. Roll out dough onto a 15 inch pizza stone. Evenly cover with sauce. Sprinkle with mozzarella and parmesan cheeses. Top with additional toppings. Bake for 10-13 minutes or until golden and bubbly. Remove from oven and let cool 15 minutes before cutting.

Frugal Tip: A variety of leftovers can be used as pizza toppings. So, use what you have on hand to keep valuable food from going to waste.
