Being a good DFW I've made pizza dough but there is spare for 1 pizza...can I freeze it & if so do I cook the pizza then freeze or cook the dough raw? sorry if I'm being incredibly dull...new to this cooking lark!! Thanks in anticipation!!

I have frozen the dough raw before and it's been fine.

Yep,you can definitely freeze uncooked bread dough of all kinds.

For pizza,I roll it into pizza shape first,wrap in clingfilm and freeze on a baking tray.Remove tray when frozen.

To use put toppings on frozen base and cook as normal,but allow about 10 mins extra baking time.

We always freeze our dough ... it is actually easier to roll out after it has been defrosted as opposed to when it is fresh. OH makes a batch in the breadmaker and then bags the dough in 'one pizza' sizes for use in the week.

Good tip,so I'd be better off not rolling it out first -I'll bear that in mind,thanks;)

You can make the whole pizza up and then freeze it. I tried the other day and it wasn't any different from the freshly made one.
