Homemade Frozen Pizzas

We are going through big changes in our house.  AJ has been put on a project at work that will involve him traveling about 2/3 of the month.  That leaves me on my own.  I decided to try and head off difficult days that I am sure will be coming, and start by making meal times easier. 

With Emmaline's allergies, it makes it difficult to do things like ordering pizza on a whim.  I came across instructions the other day on how to make homemade frozen pizzas and had to try it!  I ended up making ones with and without cheese.

1) Make pizza dough.  I was able to get 2 - 12" pizzas out of each batch of that recipe.  Roll the dough out into crusts and bake at 500* for 4-5 minutes.  Allow them to cool.  I did a smaller oval shape for my daughter's safe pizzas so they'd be easy to identify in the freezer.



2) Put the toppings on.  For a 12" pizza I used about 1/2 cup sauce, 1/3 lb of cheese, and 12 pieces of pepperoni.


3) Wrap the pizzas in saran wrap.  I used two layers of saran wrap to make sure it was good and sealed.  Then put them in the freezer:



4)  When it comes time to bake, remove the plastic wrap, place on a pizza pan or baking sheet, and bake in a preheated 425* oven for approximately 15 minutes.  ENJOY!
