Recipe Expert Tips
- Makes 6 personal pan pizzas
- To use frozen pizza dough, transfer it from the freezer to the refrigerator and let it thaw overnight. A few hours before baking, take the dough out of the fridge, place it in an oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled in size. Once risen, punch down the dough, shape it into a ball, and flatten it into a disk.
- For a personal pizza, place the dough in an oiled 8-inch or 9-inch cake pan. Use the heel of your hand to press it out to the edges. If it shrinks back, let it rest for five minutes, then stretch it again. Add sauce and toppings, then bake in a preheated 400°F oven for 9-12 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown.
