Pizza is stupid cheap to make at home. Domino's is currently offering Minecraft pizzas that are less than twice the size for more than twice the cost. But making it at home means no grease soaked collectable box.

Cost per person before toppings: $2.77 It is very hard to fit even a dollar worth of toppings on a pizza.

Sure you can buy the dough. But honestly that's a waste of money. Pizza dough I'd literally 4 ingredients - flour, water, oil, salt. That's it. (Unless you want a thick crust, in which case you add yeast)

    So just a normal bread. I’m sorry if these are dumb questions, but I’ve never really made a pizza. lol. Do you ferment yours, or just make the dough and go to town?

    Pizza dough is risen like bread, preferably longer than most breads. I do mine in the fridge for a couple of days. It is bread, just with stronger (gluteny) flour, pulled flat, and cooked very hot. It also usually has a little more oil than a typical loaf bread. Most bready products are variations of those ingredients with different techniques and 1-2 additions/subtractions.

    Damn, I actually didn’t know you added oil to the dough. I usually just make either pita bread or sour dough. I make my own fermentation. I’m going to delve into the world of pizza. 🍕

    Oil is an extra, but can help condition the dough and make it last a bit longer. My pitas and sourdough also get a bit of oil. If you can make pitas, you can definitely make pizza dough.
