Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Dough
- 1 Pizza Dough Recipe (divided into 4 portions)
- 2 tsp olive oil (to grease the pan or tupperware)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Make your pizza dough according to your favorite recipe and divide it evenly into 4 portions for easier storage and use.
- Grease Containers: Lightly brush the inside of your storage containers or freezer-safe bags with olive oil to prevent the dough from sticking during freezing.
- Package the Dough: Place each dough portion into its own greased container or wrap tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil for extra protection, ensuring no air remains inside to avoid freezer burn.
- Freeze and Store: Label each package with the date and place them in the freezer. The dough can be frozen for up to 3 months. When ready to use, thaw the dough overnight in the refrigerator or at room temperature for a few hours before shaping and baking.
Notes
- Allow dough to come to room temperature before shaping for best results.
- Use olive oil inside containers to prevent sticking.
- Freeze dough portions individually for convenience.
- Dough is best used within 3 months for optimal flavor and texture.
- If dough expands during freezing, gently press it down to fit packaging.
