Never mind the $4-99 from Dominos, you can make pizza at home very easily and much more cheaply at home than you can buy them, and they're - you guessed it - far more nutritious than the crap you'll get from a pizza takeaway.
Take 5 cups of flour, add 3 teaspoons of baking powder and mix in a large bowl. (I actually use a small stock pot as bowls generally aren't big enough.)
If you have wholemeal flour, cornmeal or any other flour substitute, feel free to replace plain flour with whatever you have as it will all add to the taste and goodness.
Have 150 gm of warm - but NOT melted - butter ready and rub it in with your fingertips until there are no lumps left.
Add water to make a dough and roll out into pizza bases - about 0.5 cm thick is spot on as it rises a little with the baking powder.
This batch will make several large or lots of small pizzas.
Here they are laid out in trays, and you can see the size from the ruler - the big one is huge:
When you've placed the bases in the trays, spread on Leggo's Pizza Base - cost $4-00 for a tube that will last a month in the fridge and is good for several meals: pizza, lasagne and other meat dishes will benefit from the tomato and herbs mix. Sprinkle over lots of crushed garlic, one 100 gm packet of sliced ham and half a tin of salmon or other canned fish.
Grate the top of half a head of broccoli, sprinkle that all over, then add the cheese. I use ~200 gm of Mainland tasty cheese. It is much tastier than mozzarella, so you use less and it cooks beautifully.
15-20 minutes in an oven at 200 degrees fan bake will crisp the bases up nicely and cook the pizza to perfection.
Cost:
Flour: $0-50 (I buy it by the 5 kg bag and it
seems to last forever)
Butter: $1-00
Broccoli: $0-75
Ham: $1-80
Cheese: $2-00
Pizza sauce: $1-00
Canned salmon: $2-50
Garlic: $0-50
Total: $9-05.
That fed five of us, with the second-smallest one left for snacks or lunch tomorrow.
Eight and a half bucks. How much did you spend last time you bought pizza?
