Freezer Meals-Pizza Dough

It’s been too long since I shared a Freezer Meals recipe! This Freezer Meals-Pizza Dough recipe is one of my favorite homemade pizza dough recipes and is perfect for your freezer cooking meal plan.

So the holidays are behind us and it is time to get back on the ball. I have a bunch of Freezer Meal recipes tucked away that I have been saving. The first one of the new year is this Easy Freezer Meals-Pizza Dough recipe.

I love making homemade pizza dough. It taste so much better then those little envelopes that you can buy in the grocery store.

It’s not as hard as you might think and when you mix up a batch then divide it into individual personal pan pizza portions. You can freeze it and make homemade pizza for lunch or dinner any time you want.

To make a personal pan pizza

1. Remove the frozen pizza dough from the freezer and place in the refrigerator to thaw overnight.
2. A few hours before making pizza remove the dough from the refrigerator. Place in an oiled bowl, cover and allow to rise until doubled in a very warm spot.
3. Once the dough has risen punch it down. Form into a tight ball and then flatten into a disk.
4. Place the dough into an oiled 8 inch or 9 inch cake pan to make a personal pizza.
5. Using the heel of your hand press the dough out to the edges of the pan.
6. If the dough springs away from the sides of the pan allow dough to rest about five minutes then knead to edges again.
7. Spread sauce and favorite pizza toppings on top of the dough.
8. Bake in preheated 400 F. degrees oven for 9-12 minutes or until cheese is melted and the edges of the pizza crust is golden.
