My husband and I decided that we would do a pizza night, once a week. While we share many favorite foods, there are others that we completely disagree on (ie olives...bleh!). Pizza is a wonderful option where we can split a pizza and do different toppings.
Problem is, ordering pizza every week is not a budget friendly option. Buying a pre-made pizza from the grocery store is one way to save on money, and grease. But, what we are trying tonight should save even more money, AND we can get the exact toppings that we want.
Last night I broke out that wonderful KitchenAid to save the most money possible and make homemade dough. Okay, well not entirely the cheapest possible. I added a special ingredient that wasn't required, but sure will be yummy. The homemade dough went from costing about $.50 to about $1.50 just with that special ingredient...but I seek quality, not just cost.
Better yet, cooking pizza once a week allows me to do a one time dough cook for the entire month (making 4 batches at a time), then we just stock up on our toppings when they're on sale. We save money, we save time, and as a wonderful bonus there's less dishes to clean. :D
