I've been on a quest to make better pizza. Now that I've got a happy crust I'm able to work on other parts. I got new pans so I can make two at a time. Which means I can have different toppings that cook at different times from my wife's toppings.

Her: under the cheese is banana peppers and olives. On top is pepperoni. Me: tomato, onion and sardines

This is part of my plan to be able use leftovers for fried rice and pizza. But toppings are insanely cheap. It's hard to put more than a dollar in toppings on a pizza unless you are buying really premium stuff.

Cost per person for no toppings besides cheese: $2.50. officially cheaper than mid grade freezer pizza. Can you order this anywhere? It's pizza

Oh def give it a bit more time, you'll appreciate it. It's usually even easier to work with and gives enough time for some of the more complex flavours to develop (specifically from fermentation).

If you don't think it'll last long enough could do a preferment (like a biga) with upwards of half your flour and a fraction of the yeast (had decent results doing like 0.5g or less of yeast for 500g of flour), can add more yeast to your final dough if you want (I've done similar things to use sour dough discard because I hate wasting it, adds complexity without relying on it for leavening).

Last night I broke one of my dough containers. So I ordered a bigger one that should allow for longer fermentations.

I'm not mad it broke. It was a solar dollar container with a pop up vent that could do a two pound batch and only cost me $1.25. It served its purpose. It was a gateway container.
