A bit beyond you that one eh?

I make my own pizzas now. The final straw came as the cost of the pizza bases alone approached £1 at Sainbury's. Feeble little things they are too. Had I known how cheap pizzas were to buy at Aldi, I may not have invested the time spent learning how to make them myself, but it's actually relatively quick and easy:
- A bag of bread making flour @~50 pence/kg. A 1kg bag is enough to make five 200g pizza bases. 10p.
- A packet of sliced German salami from Adli, these are sliced into squares for the pizza topping. A 99p packet provides enough to make about 10 toppings. 10p
- Cheese. Cheese is around £5/kg if you avoid mainstream supermarkets (not sure about this though, I do know it's bleeding expensive) and the most expensive ingredient since I use far more cheese than you'd get on a supermarket or pizzerier pizza. £variable based on taste.
- Tomatotes, sliced then squared. A £1 bag provides 6 tomatoes, enough for 6 pizzas. 16p
- Onion. These go quite a long way and am not sure of the cost. Say 10p
Method:- Add 115g of warm water to 200g bread flour after having mixed the flour with 1/3 teaspoon of yeast, sugar and salt
- Kneed for a minute or two. This base-making stage takes 10 minutes all told. Leave to rise for a while, say 30 minutes
- Add topping ingredients
- Cook for 10 minutes. At a power setting of say 1kW will cost 1/6 of a kWh at whatever the going price is per kWh. Say 10p
Total time spent preparing: about 20 minutes, though this can be cut if multiple pizza bases are made simultaneously.
Total cost: about 50p + cheese cost.
It takes me longer than that to walk to the shops to buy a horrendously overpriced, cheese deficient thing coated with a veneer of red looking and vomit tasting stuff that has never set eyes on a tomato and was probably made with a chemistry set.
