Dinner For Four For Under 4 Euros – Pizza

While preparing the recipe and to keep it genuine, I took the current prices of the ingredients in the Czech republic.

Cooking tips:
While cooking on stove, use always the lid – without it the energy consumption jumps upto 300 %
One hour of baking depends on the type of appliance and the energy provider. The average energy consumption (per hour at 200 ° C) is about 0.87-0.90 kWh. 1 kWH cost appx EUR 0,16. With a hot air oven, thanks to air circulation, baking will be effective at 180 ° C and therefore energy efficient. Energy consumption will drop to 0.79 kWh and the saving will be around 10%.

Bake it in the oven until done. The average oven will accomodate two large or 4 small pizzas at once.
