Freezing Pastry

Queenie

Yes, you can freeze puff pastry pizzas. Best frozen before baking though.
Open freeze first, then pack in bags. They'll store for 4-6mths
Bake from frozen on a dampened baking tray and cook in a hot oven (425F/220C/Gas7)

i've just bought a freezer. yippee:j. Can I freeze home made pastry ,uncooked. and if so how long for please?

Freeze it, well wrapped up. Defrost for a few hours before use. I wouldn't keep it for more than 3 months just because I'd be worried about freezer burn.
