Pre-made pizza dough is one of the best things in the grocery store.
But you should really stretch yourdough(hehe), and make four personal pizzas from one ball.
Buy a ball of pre-made pizza dough.
This will likely be from the grocery store, but sometimes pizzerias will sell you dough.
I buy a frozen 20-ounce ball and pop it in the fridge on Sunday.
By the time lunch rolls around on Monday the dough, has thawed.
Lightly flour the countertop and dump the pizza dough onto the flour.
Use a knife or sharp bench scraper to cut the dough into quarters.
If you stretch out this odd triangle of dough, youll have an oddly triangular pizza.
Round off your dough balls and place them seam-side down on some flour.
(Check out mybread-shaping 101 videoto learn how to roll perky dough balls.)
I usually put them in reused produce bags I brought home from the store.
Twist the bags shut and plop the extras in the fridge.
Preheat the oven
The fourth ball of dough sitting on your countertop is for today.
Preheat the heavy cooking vessels in the oven, but there’s no need with the sheet tray.
They heat up in no time.
Be sure to start from the center as you rotate and stretch the dough.
Go back and try stretching it again.
Then top the dough however you like.
Swipe on tomato sauce,barbecue sauce, or one of thesealternative sauces, and add cheese and toppings.
Saving money has its perks.
Its only been Pizza Monday and you still have three more potential pizzas waiting in the fridge.
Thats a work week I can look forward to.
