Copycat Mccain Mini Frozen Pizzas

Submitted by spiritussancto

"pizza should never contain things you can't pronounce. this stocks you freezer with healthier, tastier convenience food. this is the cheese type, if you prefer the other flavors sub them for the parmesan but make sure any meat is pre-cooked. they're also a little bigger then the store bought kind but you could easily make into 10 instead"

 

• Ready In: 55mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Yields: 8 small pizzas
• Serves: 8

ingredients

• dough

• 1 1⁄2 cups warm water
• 1 tablespoon instant yeast
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 3 1⁄2 cups flour
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3⁄4 cup tomato sauce (i use no-name mushroom flavor, use whatever you like)
• 3 cups pre-shredded mozzarella cheese (use low fat if you prefer)
• 1⁄2 cup parmesan cheese (the powdery kraft type)

directions

1. mix water, yeast, and sugar. let stand for a few min till it's all bubbly.
2. add salt, oil, and 3 cups of the flour, stir until a soft dough forms.
3. kneed for a few min, adding extra flour until it's just barely not sticky anymore. let rise in a warm place for 30 min or so until it's doubled in size.
4. divide into 8 balls and flatten out into 4-5 inch disks on cookie sheets lined in parchment paper. preheat the oven to 425f.
5. top with a Tbs or two of sauce, then mozza, then parmesan.
6. bake for 10 min or so, stop before they're golden if you want more authentic taste since this leaves the crust a little gummy and doesn't toast the cheese. let stand for 5-10 min before serving now or let cool completely before wrapping with a bit of foil or plastic wrap between them and freezing. you could also bake just the crusts and add the toppings raw before freezing.
