Bake From The Freezer Pizzas Recipes

MAKE-AHEAD FREEZER PIZZAS

Steps:

• In bowl of stand mixer fitted with dough hook, or in large bowl if you plan to knead by hand, mix 2 cups of the flour, the yeast and salt.
• In 1-quart saucepan, heat honey, water and olive oil over medium-low heat 3 to 4 minutes or until honey is melted and mixture is smooth. Pour into bowl of dry ingredients. Mix until combined.
• With mixer on low speed, begin adding the remaining flour 1/4 cup at a time until dough clears the bowl and is only slightly sticky to the touch. You may not need all 4 cups of the flour. Continue to knead dough 5 to 7 minutes or until smooth and elastic.
• Place dough in greased bowl, and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise in warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
• Gently punch down dough, and knead by hand a few times. Let rest 10 minutes.
• Line large cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper. Divide dough in half; roll each half into 10-inch circle. Transfer to cookie sheet. Cover with plastic wrap, and let rise while you heat oven to 450°F.
• Bake 3 to 5 minutes or until puffed and top appears dry but not at all browned. Cool completely.
• Top as desired, then double wrap in plastic wrap. Store in freezer up to 2 months.
• When ready to bake, remove from freezer and remove plastic wrap. Place on cookie sheet lined with cooking parchment paper, and bake at 450°F 12 to 15 minutes or until crust is golden and cheese is melted.

BAKE-FROM-THE-FREEZER PIZZAS

Steps:

• Make up the bread dough following pack instructions, and transfer to an oiled bowl to rise for about 1 hr.
• Knock back in the bowl by squashing all the air out of the dough with your fist. Divide the dough into 6 and roll each one on a lightly floured surface to a circle about 18cm in diameter. Put dough you're not using under a damp tea towel or oiled cling film to stop it drying out.
• Put the pizza bases on large oiled baking sheets - you may need 2 or 3. Spread 1 tbsp sauce or passata on each base, then scatter on the basil, tomatoes, mozzarella and Parmesan (or whatever you fancy). You can freeze the pizzas now, if you like, on the baking sheet, wrapped in cling film. Or if eating straight away, heat oven to 240C/220C fan/gas 9. Cook for 8-12 mins, until crisp and golden. To cook from frozen, remove the cling film and heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Bake for 10-14 mins until crisp and golden.

SUNNY'S EASY FREEZE AND BAKE 24/7 MINI PIZZAS

Steps:

• Divide and spread the pizza sauce among the English muffin halves. Sprinkle the mozzarella in an even layer over the top of the sauce on each.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the muffin halves next to each other in a row on one end. Spread out the pepperoni, peppers and onions, bacon, ham and pineapple in separate rows in a single layer next to the muffins. Sprinkle the oregano over everything. Freeze, uncovered, until the muffins are hard, 1 to 2 hours.
• Tightly wrap each English muffin half with plastic wrap and place in freezer-safe bags. Remove the toppings to separate freezer-safe bags. Freeze the muffins and toppings until ready to use.
• When ready to cook, preheat the oven or toaster oven to 400 degrees F. Remove as many English muffin halves as you like from the freezer. Top each base with the toppings of your choice. Bake until the cheese is melted and the muffins are cooked through, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove and rest 2 minutes before eating.
