Freezing pizza dough..

[Anonymousbird]

Will this work?

Thanks

Should have added, homemade pizza dough.

well, it will get very sticky.
do you have many leftovers? can you bake a bread with it?

Hmm, didn't realise that.
haven't made it yet - making a batch for tea for the kids and their friends tonight and just thought, if making some maybe make a bit extra in case they are super hungry and/or to freeze for next time....

I would imagine it would work, but would be difficult to defrost and work with after freezing.

I make little rolls if I have left-over dough.

We used to make batches of dough and freeze in single portions with no problems. If it's sticky some extra flour would help (I think .... I confess that DH is in charge of pizza-making here)

I freeze it all the time, it will be fine. I find it easier to roll it out flat before freezing, but you don't have to.

glasto do you freeze it between paper then? or roll it up like the ready dough in the supermarket?

It is a bit sticky but works just fine - you just need extra flour to roll it out with. I tend to rub a bit of oil on the inside of a freezer bag and freeze the dough in that - the oil can help it not stick to the bag when you remove it.

Oh good oil tip! Thanks

I freeze it often and find that as long as I give it time to defrost and put it in a warm place to rise again it's fine.

My breadmaker receipe says you need to bake it as a pizza base for 5 mins if you want to freeze it. Bit of a pain but would get round the sticky problem.

I have a recipe that suggests you roll it out then cook it for 5 mins just to make it easier to handle. Then defrost, add toppngs and finish off the cooking.

snap!

Oh, that is clever.

Not normally worth it here, as I find pizza dough so easy and quick to make. But would be great for a very quick supper.

I like these tips, thanks. I've never had left overs before, always just make and use (as you say, it's easy!) but just in a bit of a "batch make/cook and freeze" stage right now, so wondered whether it would work with dough!

I will give it a go!

Cheers, all.
