Homemade Freezer Pizza

"Instead of buying one of those freezer pizza's that you can't really choose the toppings on why not make a few yourself and have ready in the freezer! This tried-and-true method preserves a fresh, crisp crust even through the freezing process! The secret's in the cheese; when applied to the crust before any toppings or sauce, the cheese seals the crust against the moisture in the sauce. Do not thaw before baking!"

  1. Excellent pizza. We live beyond pizza delivery so this is an easy solution. Our children are grown so I made 2 small pizzas, I baked one fresh and it turned out perfectly.
     
  2. We followed this format with our own pizza dough recipe and froze pizzas in foodsaver bags. (The only thing that went wrong was that we thought we could bake it right on the rack, just like a storebought frozen pizza. Well the storebought ones must be partially baked, because ours began to fall through the oven rack. Once we tried it again with a pizza pan, it worked perfectly and tasted as good as if I had made it fresh that day) Thanks for the helpful info--we will be keeping a lot more pizzas in the freezer for quick meals!
     
  3. These are terrific. I used frozen whole-wheat bread dough for the crust and baked it for about 10 minutes before adding the toppings and freezing. Baking them at 400 was perfect. They're a keeper!
     
  4. Hei, thank you for this idea. It´s great. I made 5 pizzas in freezer! Thanks!

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes: ? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again. ? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time. ? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK ? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all ? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
