Pizza dough is readily available at most grocery stores, but if you’re looking to save some funds, try making this dough. The great thing about this recipe is that you won’t have to wait for the dough to rise. For the sauce, go completely homemade. There are numerous tomato sauce recipes in the app, but the general ingredients include:
- Tomatoes
- Tomato paste
- Olive oil
- Onion
- Garlic
- Salt and pepper to taste
Those ingredients make the most basic tomato sauce, but additional items such as sugar, oregano, and basil would enhance the flavor. All you have to do is place the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the onion until its translucent, then add the garlic. Afterwards, you can add the chopped tomatoes in the skillet, and once the juices have thickened, you can add the rest of the ingredients, while letting it simmer until the sauce is thick. Any extra sauce can be stored in a resealable container and placed in the fridge.
For the toppings, use any of the healthy pizza ideas below. Just make sure you’ve preheated your oven to 350 degrees F, and then let the pizza cook for 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
