Oh interesting. I’m in Canada and the price between block vs shredded is about 20% more for shredded. Even when comparing their own “Great Value” store brand it’s like that.

Mini microwave burritosLove this idea. I’m going to steal it.
I bet you could get the cost down by shredding your own cheese from a block.

Pizza nightDo you not use yeast in your dough?
First time doing pizza dough from scratch, and I purposely didn’t use yeast because I wanted it somewhat thin and crispy. It worked out well, but I would definitely use yeast for a thicker/fluffier crust.

Pizza nightI’m not crazy about anchovies, but that does sound really good. This was my first time making the dough from scratch, but I’ll take your comment as inspiration to get more creative and infuse it with deliciousness in future pizzas. Thanks for sharing.

Pizza nightStarted with about 1.5 cups of flour and 1 cup of water. Then sprinkled in more flour while mixing with a spatula. That ratio is intentionally more wet and malleable than if I were making bread because I wanted to be sure it would stretch and keep its shape on the pan, which it did with ease.

Pizza nightHomemade crust, pepperoni, red peppers.
The crust was just flour, water and a little salt. About 1.5cm thick. Once the dough ball was consistent I coated it with more flour to prevent sticking and then pressed it down into shape.
Pepperoni was sliced off a tube. It looks kind of greasy, but it wasn’t too much, and I really like that it curled up a bit. I put the oven on high broil near the end to get it to crisp up a bit.
