Freezing Homemade Pizza

Hello There,

I am in Arizona for the weekend but I had this post prepared a head of time so it would post while I am on the road.   Enjoy!

************************************************************************

I love homemade pizza and when I make it I make a few extra to freeze for an easy, easy dinner or lunch.  It’s so easy to freeze and taste way better than the store bought frozen pizzas at about a 3rd of the cost.  Can’t beat it!

Started by making up 2 lbs of bread dough in my bread machine.  This gave me enough dough to make 4 personal pizzas and a large 12″.

Here is the ingredients for 1 lbs, I doubled the recipe.

3/4 cup water

2 cups all purpose flour (you can add 1/2 wheat flour if you prefer)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons sugar

2 teaspoons active dry yeast

Added ingredients to bread machine, and select dough setting.  When done, mound dough on a floured counter top, cover with a towel and let rest for 10 minutes.  Now it is ready for dividing.    Use 1/3 of it for Large Pizza and then cut the rest in 4 pieces for the personal sized ones.

Sprayed my pizza pans with cooking spray, spread the dough on to the pizza pans.  I cook two at a time.

Added my sauce and whatever I have on hand in the fridge.  I just had pepperoni and mushrooms when I made these.  You can be creative here.  Cooked for 7 minutes at 450 degrees and then added cheese for 3 more minutes of cooking.   You want to under cook your pizzas a bit so they don’t get over done on cooking day.

Wrap you pizzas to freeze in plastic wrap and then heavy alumium foil.  Label your pizzas with date and what it is on the foil using a Sharpie marker.  Put the 4 personal pizzas in a 2 gallon freezer bag and then into the freezer they go.

 

On cooking day, place the frozen pizza on your pizza pan and bake at 350 degrees until middle is hot and cheese is slightly browned, 10-15 minutes.  Enjoy!
