Pizza is a great way to save money on your grocery budget. How many times after a hard working day, have you been busy to prepare dinner; and decide to order a pizza? The great thing about pizza is that is very easy to prepare. Below are 3 easy steps to great tasting pizza.

Pizza Pan

Having the ingredients and tools you need to create quick meals can save you hundreds of dollars in annual food costs. You will need a pizza pan, or any pan with a large flat surface area. Pizza pans can be purchased inexpensively at the Dollar Tree, and other discount stores. A pizza stone also works well. If you are new to making pizzas, purchase bottled pizza sauce. This sauce is usually located on the pasta aisle in the grocery store.

Dough

Instant pizza dough packets are very inexpensive. The instant packets of pizza dough are usually on the same aisle as the bottled pizza sauce. Before opening the package, spray your mixing bowl with non stick spray. The pizza dough is combined with hot water and left to sit covered for 5 minutes. Using non stick spray, spray the pan and rolling pin .If you do not have a rolling pin spray a plastic cup. After 5 minutes has passed, roll out the dough flat onto the pizza pan. Pour on enough pizza sauce to cover the surface of the dough.

Toppings

Next add your meat and vegetable toppings. Include bell peppers, onions, ground beef, Canadian bacon, and pepperoni. Then top with your favorite flavor of shredded cheese. If you are unsure if you have enough toppings, look through recent leftover meals that may be in your refrigerator. Perhaps you have a chicken breast, or piece of steak. These small portions of meat can quickly be diced up and cover the entire pizza. 3 items to always have in your pantry to ensure you can whip up a quick pizza are pizza sauce, pizza dough, and shredded cheese. Bake the pizza at 425 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes or until the cheese has completely melted.

A home made pizza is very inexpensive to make. The time spent making the pizza is between 5 and 10 minutes. Compare that with the average pizza delivery which takes 45 minutes from the time of order to home delivery. Creating a pizza instead of ordering from your favorite delivery restaurant is a great way to save time and money
