A favorite recipe of mine, pan pizza's WAY easier to make at home and the dough recipe is fantastic. You can sub the milk for water just fine and of course you can use a vegan replacement for cheese or go without cheese altogether if you wish, but letting that thick dough ferment for a week in your fridge and then frying it in a pan does a lot to make an extremely tasty crust that makes for a hefty, filling pizza for a fraction of the price (since flour's so cheap by the pound and this is mostly bread). Cooks fast, don't need any special equipment other than a cast iron pan (iunno if I'd trust putting a nonstick under the broiler but you do you), don't need to waste money heating up the oven for a long time, it's just a very solid food you can easily make.

I'd quadruple the recipe in that vid and make four batches at a time all at once, then split the dough up and weigh it out with my digital scale so that it's roughly in four equal dough balls to keep in their own separate container. Actually making the dough's the most time-consuming part and there's no reason to not make it all in one batch if you can. If you want to freeze some dough so that you can make a shitload, double the yeast in the recipe and still let it ferment for at least a few days in your fridge before transferring it to the freezer When you go to unfreeze it, put it back in the fridge a couple days ahead of when you want to use it so that it can thaw out naturally and the surviving yeast can wake back up (that's why you're doubling the yeast in the recipe, a good chunk of it's gonna die in the freezer).

Now, you can actually do this recipe without the oil if you want to make this a bit healthier. Crust will come out differently, not really what you'd associate with pan pizza, but you might prefer it that way and it may be a bit healthier than basically deep frying your pizza crust.

Also: make your own french fries. Potatoes are extremely cheap, you can get a julienne slicer for $20 or less off Amazon, and of course you can freeze those easy to make hugeass batches. I use an air fryer to cook some whenever I need an easy side dish. Those fuckesr are coated in in olve oil though, so not super healthy - but I do also season them up fancy with Steak and Shake seasoning and that's the bomb.

Tofu I keep a bunch of but that's only when it goes on clearance. Pressing them, then freezining them, thawing them out, then freezing them again makes it taste a lot more like meat when you add some soy sauce to it, the texture gets chewy. Battering those in corn starch and mixing them into sir fries makes them like extremely tasty chicken nuggets, except jucier and they better absorb sauces from said stir fries. I bet making some buffalo sauce, spreading that on the aforementioned pan pizza dough, and mixing in some fried tofu would make for a pretty dope vegan buffalo chicken pizza. Vegan cheese is really expensive where I live so I wouldn't bother with that, maybe just folk it and have a weird fried chicken sandwich thing going on, but obviously this works with regular cheese too (NEVER BUY PRE-SHREDDED IT'S OVERPRICED AND COVERED IN ANTI-CAKING AGENTS THAT RUIN PIZZA, JUST SHRED IT IT'LL SAVE YOU MONEY).
