Today on The Stay At Home Chef I'm showing you how to make homemade frozen
pizzas. I've been making my own homemade frozen pizzas for years. At first people
laughed at me because who does that ?Who makes their own homemade frozen pizza?
Well I do! it's super convenient to always have homemade frozen pizzas in my
freezer and they're actually really easy to make. It only takes about 15 minutes
of hands-on time to get it going and then you always have dinner ready to go
in your freezer. Start with 1 1/2 tablespoons of instant dry yeast
then add in 1 1/2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 3 tablespoons of
extra-virgin olive oil one and 1/2 teaspoons of salt and 2 cups of lukewarm
water. Since we're using instant dry yeast there's no need to let this sit
and proof. Next we're going to add in 5 cups of all-purpose flour. Dump that
all into the stand mixer and get it mixing. It only takes about five minutes
to put your dough together and let me tell you this is way better than
anything you can buy in the frozen section at the grocery store. Once the
dough is smooth and pulls away from the sides of the bowl turn it off and we can
transfer this to a lightly greased bowl to rise. This bowl has been lightly
greased with nonstick cooking spray so I just like to turn it around a little bit
so that a little bit of grease gets all over the dough then we pop a towel on
and let it rise until it's double in size which will take about 90 minutes to
2 hours. When it's done you'll want to turn the dough out onto a clean
countertop and divide it into three equal pieces. Then you're gonna take a
rolling pin and start rolling them out into circles. Just keep on rolling
stretch out the dough. This recipe makes three 16-inch crusts. Now if you're
feeling particularly talented you can pick up your crust and give it a toss
and then just slide it onto a pizza tray. I'm using these aluminum restaurant
pizza pans but you could also cut out some clean cardboard into a 16 inch
circle. Once you have all three crusts you can start adding toppings. I start of
course with my quick and easy homemade two-minute pizza sauce. It's really easy
to make. It's basically just a can of tomato sauce, a can of tomato paste, some
spices. a little bit of garlic and you have the best pizza sauce. Trust me! You
can actually top these with any toppings you want. Really any combination will do
Today I'm going pretty traditional with some mozzarella, some pepperoni
I think I'll throw some veggies on this one as well. These are easily
customizable to your own personal taste preferences. You can use different sauces
and different toppings you can make all three pizzas the same or all three
pizzas a little bit different and mix and match and the best part is it's not
that hard to do a double batch and make six pizzas on this. It's actually one of
my favorite freezer meals ever! You can see I like to go the all three a little
bit different route including one with a little bit of stuffed crust going on
Since these are a thin crust pizza there's no need to par bake the crust
I'm telling you it couldn't get any easier. At this point I just pop them in
the freezer and freeze them until solid. Once they're frozen solid I wrap them in
plastic wrap so that they stay good and the freezer longer and don't get any
freezer burn. Once you're ready to eat preheat an oven to 500 degrees and I
like to make sure that a pizza stone is in there too and then you just pop the
frozen pizza crust directly onto a pan or a pizza stone give it about 12 to 15
minutes in the oven until the cheese is bubbling and brown and you are ready to
eat!
