$2 Homemade Frozen Pizzas

1. I am in Australia. I use a brand called Golden Top Bakery "Greek Pitta Bread" (see photo in post) which is perfect for thin and crispy pizza base. It's twice the thickness of a tortilla - so thicker than normal flatbreads used as wraps. Available at Harris Farms in Australia and Mediterranean / Middle Eastern stores.

Alternatively, Lebanese Bread is a terrific alternative - sold in Woolworths / Coles and ethnic stores (far cheaper!) as well as Harris Farms. They are around 25cm / 10" in diameter and are like pockets. The Pitta Bread is better because it's more like a pizza base.

I would love to hear flatbread recommendations from readers in other countries to add here!

2. I like to use mozzarella for stretch / nice melt and another melting cheese for flavour. My favourite is Monterey Jack - I picked up a huge block at Costco for a bargain price. When I don't have Monterey Jack, I usually use cheddar or tasty cheese (a popular Australian cheese).

3. This can be substituted with a store bought pizza sauce.

4. PIZZA SAUE:It should be thick, not dense like tomato paste but thicker than ketchup. Leftovers freeze great, I use a ziplock bag and spread it thin so it's easy to snap off a bit to use. Defrost then pour off watery surface, then use per recipe.

Australia is a notoriously expensive country to live in so you may be able to do this even more cost efficiently than me!
