    Hi all!
    If this has already been asked please feel free to move or delete this. I'm wanting to do some HM pizzas to freeze as easy 'ready meals'. Has anyone done this successfully and does anyone have any tips? Also, what do you use to keep them flat while freezing them? Do any companies do hygienic cardboard rounds that you can freeze them on?
    Thanks,
    Jess x

    Hi Jess

    When I make HM pizza's I use nan bread: spread some tomato puree on, followed by whatever you want, tuna / chicken, etc, etc, add some tomato's and mushrooms top with grated cheese, pop under the grill for 5 / 10 minutes.

    I don't freeze them as there just as easy to make.

    You can freeze them on the baking tray to keep them flat. Then remove from the tray once frozen and place in a freezer bag.

    I use a scone based pizza recipe for mine and freeze the dough balls in portions big enough for one. Defrosts quickly, roll it out and add the toppings - it takes a couple of minutes. I'll give you the recipe if you are interested......

    I must say, i am completely useless at making pizzas, i put in the oven something that looks rather half decent and when it comes out you break your teeth trying to get through the edges of the crust. I wouldnt mind, but the middle has cooked perfectly.:mad:

    Thanks all!
    10past6, that is a good idea and I'd love it but DH is a little bit of a purist so might have a go when he's at work!
    Nikki, doh! can't believe that I didn't think of that! I am such a numpty sometimes, will definitely do that.
    kb36, yes please :j, I can remember making scone based pizzas when I was at school and they were yum, am a better at making scones then bread so think it might work for me (might not tell DH it's a scone base until he's tried it though lol).
    Judy, :rotfl:I know exactly what you mean! My HM bread is very hit and miss and think this may be reflected in my pizza dough!

    I use a Bero plain scone recipe and depending on how many it's for, I roll it and bake in an oblong grill pan (!lb flour serves 4) or a squarish oven tray (2lbs flour serves 8). If for a buffet or picnic, slice it into 16-18. Saves a fortune and tastes delish.
