How To Freeze Pizza Dough

Pizza is a weekly staple in our house.  We used to order out pizza, but that's expensive!  And not to mention, making it at home is SO much tastier and healthier!  But at the end of the week sometimes the last thing I want to do is make homemade crust, homemade sauce, make the pizza and of course clean up.  Finally I got smart.  Instead of making dough four times a month....I should just make it once and freeze it!  So if you were wondering how to freeze pizza dough - here you go!

How to Freeze Pizza Dough

Mix up your pizza dough.  DO NOT LET IT RISE!!! Instead, shape it into a ball, drizzle with a little olive oil and place in a freezer bag.  Don't forget to label your bag!

Then, when it's pizza day pull out your pizza dough that morning.  It will slightly stick to the bag.  It's ok!  Pull the dough out and place in a large bowl, cover and let rise for 8 hours in a warm place.  (Perfect right?  Pull it out in the morning, head off to work and when you get back it will be ready!)

After the dough has risen, sprinkle your pizza pan with a little corn meal,  roll your dough and top with your favorite toppings!  EASY!!!
