I recently bought a breadmaker and was pleasantly surprised to find I can make pizza dough using the dough setting.
This is great! With bread flour at just £0.23-0.30/Kg I'm using about 200g of flour to make enough dough for a large deep pan base.
To make pizza dough in my breadmaker, it just takes:
1.75 cups of bread flour
1/2 cup of water
1/2 tablespoon of olive oil/butter
1 tablespoon of sugar
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of fast acting yeast
The fast acting yeast was also a surprise. A pack costing just £0.50 contains 8 sachets and each sachet is enough to make 4 bases. It also doesn't go off once I've opened a sachet. One box is therefore making me 32 pizzas, or 1.5p each!
So, total cost for the base must be about 10-15p. Bargain
What toppings would you put on your own pizza?

whenever my boyfriend and i crave for a pizza, i just make my own at home. own dough, own pizza sauce and just put on the topping we wanna have for that certain day.
it's really a lot lot cheaper than buying them in pizza restaurants or stores. plus, you get the chance to put whatever toppings you like and still, will turn out cheaper.
we usually have ham and pineapple, or bacon and ham. recently, i put just corned beef as toppings and it turned out really good. ofcourse, never forget yummy mozzarella cheese, green pepper and a good pizza sauce.
happy eating!anne
