Mini Pizzas For Freezer


I’ve been meaning to try making my own frozen pizzas for Owen (or any of us, really). I think this would be a good use for that third dough ball that usually sits in the fridge until it’s so sour I toss it. I just need to figure out how small to make them. This time I decided to divide each ball into 3 pieces. My goal is to make them small enough to fit into a quart ziploc.

Par-bake crusts at 450°F for a few minutes (these were about 3 min but I may go a little longer next time), just until puffed and dry on top, but still pale. After the crusts cool completely, top with sauce and cheese, then put on a sheet in the freezer until solid. Move to ziploc bags for storage.

To reheat/bake the frozen pizzas, heat oven to 550°F. Bake on pizza stone until cheese is melted and crust is browned, 8-10 minutes. I’ll also test it out in the toaster oven, similar to how we do the Trader Joe’s pizzas. 425 convection for about 10 minutes did the trick.

These turned out pretty well. Owen’s had a couple so far and he’s finished them. I suppose I could also make full size pizzas for the freezer and reheat them on the pizza stone.
