Cheese Pizza $4.00

This was a bit of a struggle because I was working with a crust that wasnt going to have yeast in it. I found a recipe on the internet that was made with baking soda, and I gave it a shot(3 times) The issue the first two times was the baking powder caused the dough to rise too much. The first time I rolled out the dough and baked it it rose like a brownie, second time more like a thick stuffed pizza crust,so third time was the charm, and I rolled the dough out paper thin, and that worked, the crust was not doughy, but crunchy. I chose to make a simple cheese pizza, but in the future I will experiment with other toppings.
ingredients
crust


2 1/2 cup flour .70
2  tsp baking soda .10
1 tbsp olive oil .60
3/4-1 cup water

combine ingredients and mix until a dough ball is formed
flour hands and pans(note this is enough dough for two pizza crusts, if only one is needed, cut ingredients in half)
I used a round pan, but cookie sheet will do as well
cook for 20 minutes at 400

Pizza sauce and topping


1 cup tomato sauce .99
1 tsp olive oil .20
1 tsp garlic salt .05
1 cup shredded mozzarella $1.36
heat oil in pan on low add tomato sauce and garlic salt, simmer for 5-10 minutes

remove crust from oven and spread sauce evenly on pizza
top with mozzarella evenly
bake for 20 more minutes until cheese is melted
slice and serve
