Method
Step 1
Pre-heat the oven to 220ºC/450ºF and pop your pizza stone or baking sheet in the middle of the oven.
Step 2
Roll out your pizza dough in to rounds to your desired thickness and place on a piece of parchment paper.
Step 3
Par-bake the pizzas for 3-5 minutes until the dough starts to turn fluffy & dry, but remains very pale.
Step 4
Let them cool completely after removing them from the parchment.
Step 5
Once they are cool top the pizzas with the toppings of your choice.
Step 6
Pop the pizzas back on the baking sheet and freeze, uncovered for around 3 hours until solid.
Step 7
Once they are fully frozen, wrap the pizzas first in cling film & then in some foil. This stops them from drying out in the freezer and means they can be kept there for up to 3 months.
Step 8
When it comes to the time you want to bake your delicious pizzas, simply preheat your oven to 220ºC/420ºF and let the baking stone or baking tray heat up. Unwrap the pizzas and bake for 8-10 minutes until the crust has darkened and the toppings are cooked through.
Delicious.
