Freeze Ahead Breakfast Pizza 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.

FREEZE AHEAD BREAKFAST PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In large bowl, combine the butter and cheese spread and blend well. Crumble the sausage into a large skillet and cook over medium heat together with the onion until sausage is cooked and onion is tender. Drain well on paper towels. Mix the cooked sausage mixture with the cheese mixture. Spread mixture generously on split side of muffin halves. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes. Eat right away, if you like.
• Cool the ones you want to freeze and freeze individually on trays. Wrap well and place in heavy duty ziplock freezer bags. To prepare, microwave each pizza for one to two minutes on high power until pizzas are hot and the cheese is melted. 24 pizzas.
