Homemade Frozen Individual Pizza
From: Lynn @ www.lynnskitchenadventures.com/
You pre-bake the crust, then top it, then freeze it.
It is really easy and better than anything you can buy in the store. And the kids love to help make it.
I find the pizzas are easier to deal with when I make smaller frozen pizzas, so we make them about the size perfect for one person. We make an assembly line for the toppings and we can have a lot of homemade frozen pizzas done in no time.
We made up a bunch of these when we were doing our kitchen remodel and we reheated them in a toaster oven and it worked great. I also love these for nights that I am gone, or out of town, because it makes it easy for the kids to fix dinner.
Really, if your family loves pizza as much as my family does, this homemade version of frozen pizza is a must try. It is easy and delicious!
Here's what you need...
pizza dough
pizza sauce
mozzarella or other cheese, shredded
pepperoni, Canadian bacon, etc.
Note: the amounts will depend on how many pizzas you want to make
Here's what you do...
Preheat oven to 425.
Press pizza dough onto pizza pan or baking sheets.
Bake for 7-8 minutes. You are pre-baking the pizza crust. Let pizza crust cool completely on wire racks.
Top pizza crust with pizza sauce, cheese, and meat.
Place on cookie sheets and place in the freezer for several hours or until frozen.
Wrap with plastic wrap and place in a zip top freezer bag. I fit about 4 individually wrapped pizzas into each bag.
Freeze.
Remove from freezer and place on cookie sheet and bake at 425 for 9-12 minutes or until done. You bake these frozen and do not have to defrost them.
This is the pizza crust that Lynn recommends. I'm not sure how she divides it up, but she makes several individual pizza with them. Please go to www.lynnskitchenadventures.com/2013/06/homemade-frozen-pizza.html to see a picture of how these look.
Jay's Signature Pizza Crust
From: Jason Sharp @ allrecipes.com/
"This recipe yields a crust that is soft and doughy on the inside and slightly crusty on the outside. Cover it with your favorite sauce and topping to make a delicious pizza."
If you like thin crust, this recipe will yield 2 large pizzas. If you only need 1, this recipe freezes like a dream! After the dough rises and is ready to be rolled out, just divide in half, spray the spare half with a tiny bit of oil and then wrap in plastic wrap, place in a ziplock bag and throw it in the freezer. When you're ready to use it, take it out of the freezer 3-4 hours prior to use, unwrap it, and let it sit at room temp. or in a slightly warm spot to thaw and rise one more time. Perfect!
Prep time: 30 min
Cook time: 20 min
Ready In: 1 hr 50 min
Makes: 2 large pizzas or 4+ smaller individual pizzas
Ingredients
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
1 1/2 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
Directions
In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast and brown sugar in the water, and let sit for 10 minutes.
Stir the salt and oil into the yeast solution.
Mix in 2 1/2 cups of the flour.
Turn dough out onto a clean, well floured surface, and knead in more flour until the dough is no longer sticky.
Place the dough into a well oiled bowl, and cover with a cloth.
Let the dough rise until double; this should take about 1 hour.
Punch down the dough, and form a tight ball.
Allow the dough to relax for a minute before rolling out.
Use for your favorite pizza recipe.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
If you are baking the dough on a pizza stone, you may place your toppings on the dough, and bake immediately.
If you are baking your pizza in a pan, lightly oil the pan, and let the dough rise for 15 or 20 minutes before topping and baking it.
Bake pizza in preheated oven, until the cheese and crust are golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes.
Tip
Aluminum foil can be used to keep food moist, cook it evenly, and make clean-up easier.
