[@kimberlyd9049]

I totally agree the par baking is a game changer (duh! Why didn’t I think of that?!) because I’ve tried other ideas and ended up with “gooey” crusts-ugh…bad box pizzas is better than “gooey”…😂🤣😅

These 2 Points Destroy Christianity ✝️ ⛏ Christian 👉🏻 Jesus willingly died 4 our sins Muslim 👉🏻 If Jesus willingly died for our sins, why was he begging God for help ? Jesus cried out in a Loud voice, "my God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" ( Matthew 27 : 46 ) ( This is real proof Jesus did not die for our sins ) Christian 👉🏻 Jesus Is God Muslim 👉🏻 If Jesus was God, why did he not even mention it once Jesus made it clear he is human by comparing himself with the humans👉🏻 Jesus said, “hear, o Israel : The Lord ➡️ our ⬅️ God is one. ( Mark 12 : 29 - 31 )

Glad you think so, Erika. Thanks for watching.

Hey Gemma! I used to watch your videos as a kid and they were the reason I fell in love with making food. Food became my escape and I'd use it to channel my creativity. Thank you so much for the videos you put out cuz they made me the person I am today. Lots and lots of love ❤️

[@russbear31]

You've inspired me to try a little experiment. I occasionally buy loaves of French bread from the store, but I usually waste half of them. I cannot eat them all. I think those wasted halves could be parbaked and then turned into frozen French bread pizzas. 😃

I hope they turn out well. Thanks for sharing.

[@Seattletiger614]

Yes…great idea

[@georgeingridirwin6180]

Yes that is what we do. Works great, but I'm excited to try this.

[@kimberlyd9049]

Thank you SO much for this recipe. I’m cooking for my elderly parents and thus need recipes I can make ahead and freeze. Pizza will be a nice treat for them. I’m not having lucky making casseroles with pasta for the freezer-too often the pasta gets “mushy” and that’s even when I don’t fully cook the pasta - in fact I’m not even cooking it to the “el dente stage”-I’d love these meals to turn out better for them…

Plus you don't have to plan and defrost overnight. You can eat pizza whenever the craving strikes.

[@N3r1a]

That is how I make mine. I also make mini pizzas like that and when we go camping we just finish it on a our portable weber bbq. I bring couple 6" pizza pans, preheat them, take my frozen pizza out of the cooler and after day of fishing, swimming and hiking just make these babies with premade salad that we toss with our own vinaigraitte and voila.

[@CCoburn3]

When I was a kid, there was a pizza place where they stretched the dough by throwing it into the air. We didn’t get many pizzas in my family, but we kids probably enjoyed the show as much as, if not more than, the pizza.

[@lorabrinkman]

I'm reverting to my youth with this request... what about bagel bites for a great after school or summer lunch for the kiddos? LOVE the frozen pizza idea. I'm thinking I would bake one, freeze 1. I'd probably divide my dough into 2 or 3, because I want a bigger pizza than 10" for the family. :)

[@biggerbolderbaking]

That might be interesting. I’ll look into it. Thanks for watching!

[@brittanyschwenker6261]

How long is the crust good in the freezer?

[@mysmallfamily2309]

I always use a zip lock bags the gallon ones

[@kimberlyd9049]

Could you use this same dough to make calzones and freeze them too … or would partially baking the filling not work?

[@biggerbolderbaking]

I haven’t tried it yet, but if I’m experimenting then I would most likely partially cook or bake the filling will be the way to go.

[@daniyalkhizar]

Hi Gemma Would this work with your crazy dough recipe? I love that recipe and I usually have some in my freezer!

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Technically, you can use it for making pizza. But the flavor will be different as this includes olive oil.

[@daniyalkhizar]

@@biggerbolderbaking ok, I would just make this dough instead

[@cynthiaamitrano8915]

Wonderful. I’m not a big fan of frozen pizzas though I’ve had a few in my life. Believe it or not, the cheapest is my favorite because of the crust, Totino’s. The sauce isn’t bad either. I rarely buy them. I make them at home. However I do like a pizza from Papa Murthy’s with thin crust, Alfredo sauce, fresh Roma tomatoes and zucchini. My go to pizza if I buy one. I generally lean toward veggie toppings, but do like sausage now and again. Thanks, Gemma.

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Thanks for sharing, Cynthia.

[@johnnydodge]

What is the round thing in the oven called that you slide the dough on to cook?

[@biggerbolderbaking]

It’s a pizza stone. I use it to trap heat, thus evenly baking the crust.

[@reneegencur2469]

Love the idea of homemade frozen pizza! My question is about whether it really matters whether you use active dry yeast or instant yeast since the dough is fermenting for such a long time - 12 to 18 hours. And can you confirm that “quick rise” yeast is the same as instant yeast? I always thought I would have to order instant yeast online rather than being able to buy it in my grocery store as “quick rise” yeast.

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Hi Renee. You can use either of the yeast for this. Yes, quick rise yeast is the same as instant yeast.

[@logans3365]

It seems like it would be easier to just have the dough balls in the fridge then assemble and cook the pizza through the week. Of course I eat frozen pizzas almost everyday 😅 Can’t beat the convenience of having all your daily food done in 20 min, and hands free at that. So maybe the longer keep time in the freezer is appealing for others. I’ll greatly increase my health by making my own pizzas with much more nutritious toppings

[@biggerbolderbaking]

You can do that too. It's good to have options.

[@Deb999Deb]

Is it basically the same thing if I just par bake and then freeze the dough without the toppings? I can build my pizza just prior to baking. Your thoughts please.

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Hi Deb. The main reason frozen pizza is so popular is convenience. If you have to par bake, freeze, top, then bake is not as convenient vs just popping a ready to bake pizza into the oven. You also have the option to make the dough ahead and then freeze it - it will last longer, too. Hope this helps.

[@mkdonealyap1815]

how long it can stay in to the freezer? best consumed? thanks

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Hi. It will last in the freezer for up to 12 weeks. Hope this helps.

[@pragnayadav]

Hi Gemma!!

[@mmwoodcockart]

So if this wasn't going into the freezer, do you still par bake and then add toppings and then cook immediately? Or do you add all toppings onto the uncooked dough and then cook it?

[@biggerbolderbaking]

If you're going for baking it immediately, then there's no need to parbake the crust. But you need to precook the meat toppings prior to topping the pizza. Hope this helps.

[@mattmallecoccio8378]

[@lindachaplain8897]

Could you please tell us about part baked breads and fruit pies straight from the freezer.Sometimes people turn up and you haven’t got time to defrost.So tips on part baking would really help.Thank you Gemma.

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Hi Linda. For pie crusts, you can freeze it for around half an hour then blind bake for around 10 minutes. Let it cool, then wrap with foil and cling wrap and freeze. For breads, if baking within two weeks, freeze the raw dough straight away. You can also bake and freeze. I prefer the latter as it’s more convenient for working parents.

Thank you Gemma and team.Much appreciated.

[@yohaneswicked5778]

How long this frozen pizza can be keep? and is it can be risen again after long time keeping inthe freezer?

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Commercial frozen pizza can be kept anywhere between 6 months to a year. This will keep for half that time, provided you store it in a deep freeze type of refrigerator. It's par baked first, before freezing. There's no need to let it rise a second time before freezing. You just need to pop it into the oven to bake fully.

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Hi. Just continue to feed it like you routinely do. Just remove the hooch that may have collected on top of it. That liquid is the alcohol given off as wild yeast ferments. The presence of hooch indicates that your starter is hungry and needs to be fed.

Hello

[@1upma]

Can we use whole wheat Indian flour please..? And.. GF..?

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Technically, you can use whole wheat flour. You may need to adjust the amount of liquids used as flours do not absorb liquids the same way. As to GF flour, you will need a different recipe instead of merely substituting the flour. GF flours do not need yeast, so you will need baking powder. It will not be as flavorful on its own, hence an adjustment in other ingredients as well.

I know this is difficult to understand, but people around the world measure in different ways. We have to give cups/metric measurements and imperial measurements.
