Last night I was making Pizza and decided to make enough dough to freeze a couple pizza's. You will need:
Your favorite dough recipe adjusted to be able to make 3 or 4 pizza's
Your favorite sauce ie: regular pizza sauce, spicy marinara, ranch, alfredo, creamy garlic, garlic oil...etc
Your favorite toppings
Lots of shredded mozzarella cheese
Combination ideas:
Ranch dressing with diced cooked chicken, diced roma tomatoes, minced garlic(I just put it in the dough) and bacon(blech, but some people like it)
Spicy marinara with cooked spicy italian sausage and ham
Aflredo with grape tomatoes(halved), spinach and cooked chicken
Regular pizza sauce with cooked sausage, chopped onion and chopped green peppers(one of my favorites) and/or any toppings you like
Preheat the oven to 450. Roll out your dough to the size of your pizza dish. Spray your pizza pan and sprinkle with cornmeal. Make sure you rolling pin is well floured and so is the dough and roll the dough around the pin. Transfer to your pizza pan and unroll the dough onto the pan. Go to town and fork the pizza crust so it doesn't get bubbles. Cook the dough for 5-6 minutes. Remove from the oven and top with a light layer of cheese(this will help in keeping the dough from getting soggy when you freeze it). Return to the oven for another minute or so to help the cheese melt to the dough. Allow the pizza dough to cool. Once cooled put on the sauce, topping and then cheese. Lay out two long pieces of plastic wrap next to each other. Gently remove the pizza from the pan and wrap in the plastic wrap. Use two more sheets of plastic wrap to protect pizza from getting freezer burnt. You can do more layers too if you'd like. Lable the pizza to be cooked at 450 for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden(this does not require you to defrost the pizza, stick it in the oven straight from the freezer). Enjoy the time saved next time you wanna have a pizza! If you want to cook one of the pizza's right away there is really no need to pre-cook the crust, just assemble the pizza like normal and cook.
