Instead of buying one of those freezer pizza's that you can't really choose the toppings on why not make a few yourself and have ready in the freezer! This tried-and-true method preserves a fresh, crisp crust even through the freezing process! The secret's in the cheese; when applied to the crust before any toppings or sauce, the cheese seals the crust against the moisture in the sauce. Do not thaw before baking! Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons active dry yeast |
1 teaspoon sugar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
3/4 cup water |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
12 ounces mozzarella cheese, grated |
1/4 lb italian sausage, browned |
1/4 lb ground beef, browned |
1/4 cup onion, chopped and sauteed |
2 ounces pepperoni slices |
1 1/2 cups marinara sauce |
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, freshly grated |
salt |
Directions:
1. Put in automatic bread machine: place ingredients in container in following order: water, olive oil, flour, sugar, salt and yeast.
2. Select Dough setting and press Start.
3. Spray pizza pan with non-stick cooking spray or brush with olive oil.
4. Gently stretch pizza crust to fit pan, forming raised edge at lip.
5. Sprinkle crust with grated mozzarella cheese.
6. Dot with browned sausage, ground beef, pepperoni and chopped and sautéed onion.
7. Gently spread marinara sauce to cover cheese and toppings.
8. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and salt to taste.
9. To freeze: flash freeze pizza in pan.
10. When frozen, wrap in aluminum foil.
