Homemade Pizza Dough Night

Flour, yeast, salt, water, a drizzle of olive oil. The dough costs about $0.50 and makes four personal pizzas. Add a can of crushed tomatoes for sauce ($1), a bag of shredded mozzarella ($3), and whatever toppings you have — pepperoni, bell peppers, olives, mushrooms. Total: about $8 for four custom pizzas. The dough takes 5 minutes to mix and an hour to rise. Kids can shape their own. It tastes dramatically better than frozen pizza and costs less. Friday night pizza night pays for itself in saved delivery fees alone.
