2 ways to have pizza in under 30 minutes

Here are two cheap ways to have pizza faster than delivery.



 Option 1:Make a no-rise pizza dough from scratch.
What you need:

 Crust:
2 cups all-purpose flour (you will probably use about 1/4 c.while kneading it and to dust your hands and counter with as well)
1 envelope Fleischmann's Pizza Crust Yeast
1-1/2 teaspoons sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup very warm water 
3 tablespoons olive oil

sauce and toppings

What you do: 
  1. Mix 1 cup of flour and all of the other crust ingredients in a mixer like a kitchen-aid, using a dough hook.  Add more flour until the dough forms a ball and is not too sticky or too hard.  Mix for about 1-2 minutes.  You do not have to wait for yeast to proof or dough to rise in this recipe.
  2. Roll dough out with a rolling pin.  I like it super thin because you get more pizza for less carbs, and because I dream about the pizza Elizabeth ate in the book "Eat, Pray, Love".
  3. Top with sauce and toppings and bake at 425 degrees for 15-20 mins.



Option 2: Use pre-made personal pizza crusts (2 for $1 at Dollar Tree)














What you need: 

pre-made crusts, sauce, toppings

What you do:

  1. Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees
  2. Add sauce and toppings.
  3. Cook for 8-10 minutes

MAKE IT HEALTHY:  
  1. Use chunky garden spaghetti sauce instead of pizza sauce.
  2. Add veggies as a topping (even spinach), creating pictures on your pizza can inspire kids to use more colors aka veggies.
  3. Puree veggies and add to sauce.
