Zucchini Pizza Snack

Another pizza variation that is so yummy (and uses up extra garden zucchini)

*To save time & money later, I usually double this recipe and freeze a few for later, then I'll be more likely to use this instead of something else and only have to invest the time 1 out of every 3-4 times*

1 Tbsp yeast ($.05)
1 1/2 cups warm water
3 cups flour ($.15)
2 Tbsp vegetable oil ($.10)
1 tsp salt ($.01)
2 Tbsp olive oil ($.20)
1/8-1/4 tsp garlic powder ($.01)
1 zucchini, thinly sliced (FREE)
Parmesan Cheese ($.20)

Roast sliced zucchini in 425 degrees F oven for 10 minutes while making dough.

Mix yeast with flour and salt in Bosch. Add water and oil. Mix 8 minutes with the dough hook.
Roll half into desired pizza shape and place on baking sheet or pizza pan. Brush with olive oil (I mixed in garlic powder and then used a pastry brush). Then top with roasted zucchinis all over the pizza and a little (just a taste, don't overcover) parmesan cheese. Bake about 15 minutes at 425 degrees F or until slightly browned. Bring it out, slice it up, and serve! YUMMY!

Total Cost = $0.70

Homemade Stuffed Pizza

I'm still learning to take pictures - I wish I had cut a piece because this kind of looks gross, but it was yummy!

I've tried forever to make homemade pizza, but it is always runny and hard to pick up. Today we found the solution - make it stuffed! I made the bottom of the pizza, put on tomato sauce, oregano, pineapple tidbits and ham and cheese, then I rolled out the other half of the dough, put it over the top, rolled the edges together and brushed it all with egg whites and popped it in the oven and it was delicious with the perfect consistency. I think it will be a new family favorite.

Here's the dough recipe

(From Sandra G.)

1 Tbsp yeast ($.10)

1 1/2 cups warm water

3 cups flour ($.25)

2 Tbsp vegetable oil ($.25)

1 tsp salt

Mix yeast with flour and salt in Bosch. Add water and oil. Mix 8 minutes with the dough hook.

Roll half into desired pizza shape, brush with tomato sauce (about 4-6 oz.) ($.50) , sprinkle with oregano or Italian seasoning. Put on desired toppings ($1-$2) with cheese ($1-2) last.

Then roll out 2nd half into same shape and place on top. Roll edges together. Can brush with 1 egg white, if desired for shiny look.

Bake at 375 - 400 degrees F for 20+ minutes. Makes 1 stuffed pizza or 2 pizza crusts.

Total Cost: VARIES Pizza Crust $.60 (tops)

Pizza ($1.50 - 4.50) (and that's a stuffed pizza - can't find for under $5 at a restaurant!)
