Waste-me-not pizza covered with leftover vegetables you have in the fridge: this recipe makes the tastiest pizza dough in no time. Freeze the pizza dough and pull it out again when you have vegetables and produce in the fridge that need to be used up quickly. This is how to make the best pizzas and not waste anything<\/strong>. Pizzas as a weapon against food waste!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Making your own pizza dough, you probably already have everything you need in house<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Super fun: this recipe has become world-famous and included in a recipe book by the foundation Together against Food Waste<\/a>. Why is it so nice? Well I'll tell you now! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also make pizza more sustainable. A vegetarian or vegan pizza you must be thinking right now. That's definitely a good idea. But for this pizza recipe, I will change tack: waste-me-not pizza. You top these pizzas with leftovers you have in the fridge or with products you can save in the supermarket. And the dough? You make that yourself too. Make a lot and freeze it. That way you will always have pizza dough to hand and never have to waste anything! You only defrost what you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kid tip: let the kids make their own pizza dough! <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Making your own pizza dough is not only super easy to do. I also find my own pizza base much tastier. When we eat pizza at home, my little son always asks: \u2018are we going to eat your pizza or another one?\u2019 He lets out a cry of bitterness if it's the first option. Of course, with your own dough, you can perfect the base entirely to your own taste. I opt for a thin base so that the pizza is not so heavy. I also find making your own pizza dough a fun weekend activity. Often kids find it incredibly fun to help. It's very easy, so they can do a lot themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Budget tip: making your own pizza is good for your wallet <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Apart from the fact that making your own pizza is more sustainable and cosy, it is also a lot cheaper. Especially when you compare it to pizzas from a pizzeria or luxury pizzas from the supermarket. Another great (and sustainable) budget tip is to save vegetables for the topping via Too Good To Go<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That way you always have enough on hand when the fridge is full of vegetables and groceries that need to be used up. Because that's how you make the tastiest waste-me-not-pizzas.
