Sure, the internet is great. It helps us do things we could never do before, and we don\u2019t really understand how it does that. Yes, planes are amazing. They let us travel across the globe as if we were birds. Of course, Penicillin is awesome. After all, it saves a lot of lives. But, let\u2019s face it \u2014 none of these are the best human invention of all time. None of them come even close to pizza!<\/p>\n

Show us someone who doesn\u2019t love pizza, and we\u2019ll show you a liar. And when you get past how amazing it tastes, you\u2019ll love pizza for its convenience. When you get a hold of a pizza dough recipe, you\u2019ll see how easy they are to make.<\/p>\n

You can make tens of pizzas in a jiffy, and if you get overexcited, you can overdo it. So what to do with the leftover dough? Well, pizzas, the greatest invention of all time, have a solution for that as well: just freeze the dough!<\/p>\n

How to Freeze Pizza Dough<\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s say, for instance, you\u2019re planning a party, and you don\u2019t want to order pizza, but you want to make your own.<\/p>\n

Obviously, you can\u2019t spend your party in a kitchen making the dough. Instead, you can do it in advance. You can make your pizza dough ahead and freeze it for the occasion.<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve made the dough following your favorite recipes, you should separate them into individual balls. Each ball of dough should be the size of one pizza. Then, take pizza dough balls and lightly coat them with olive oil on all sides.<\/p>\n

After that, all you need is a freezer bag that you can seal shut so that air doesn\u2019t come and go as it pleases. Place the freezer bag in the freezer, and voila! \u2014 you\u2019ve frozen your dough!<\/p>\n

As you can see, it\u2019s a pretty straightforward process. You don\u2019t have to use any plastic wrap, baking sheet, or anything like that. Just don\u2019t forget the oil part!<\/p>\n

Taking the Dough out<\/h2>\n

The dough can be frozen for up to three months and not lose its flavor. Just make sure you take it out early (let the dough thaw in the refrigerator overnight). Bear in mind that the pizza dough will rise after being frozen.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t have the 8 hours needed for the frozen pizza dough to thaw, don\u2019t worry. You can speed the process up. At room temperature, it takes around two hours to get that second rise. If you have only 30 minutes or so, you can place it in an airtight bag and put it in warm water.<\/p>\n

However, bear in mind that we\u2019re talking about a second rise here. It\u2019s not as potent as the initial one that happens during the baking process. It will make your dough bigger, but it won\u2019t double in size. You still need to make sure the dough rises. So, freeze your dough only after it\u2019s gone through the first rise, not before.<\/p>\n

Once your dough is ready to use, you get to make pizza. Our advice is to use the Ooni Pizza Oven<\/a> to do it. The oven lets you make pizza as if you were an Italian chef without any fuss. You can use the oven to preheat pizzas<\/a> as well, so it\u2019s a super handy appliance everyone needs to have!<\/p>\n

Summary<\/h2>\n

Pizzas are as amazing to eat as they are to make. They are popular due to their simplicity and convenience. If you want to make your own pizza at home, you can do so by making your own dough, which is super simple. And, if you have something planned ahead, or if you have some leftover dough, you have nothing to worry about! Just simply freeze the dough for later use.<\/p>\n

As you\u2019ve seen above, the process takes just two steps. Once you\u2019re ready to use the dough again, just take it out and let it return to its normal state. Then, all you have to do is put some toppings on and place the pizza in the oven. And remember: specialized ovens, such as the Ooni Pizza Oven, will be your biggest help!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
