Homemade Frozen Pizzas (Quick ‘n Easy) Recipe
Think about coming dwelling to a freezer stocked stuffed with Do-it-yourself Frozen Pizzas, able to pop straight into the oven. Cooked from frozen, I’ve a cheeky tip to ensure your pizzas come out fabulously crispy. The final word economical freezer meal – these value $2 every!
These frozen pizzas are a freezer meal favorite together with Burritos, Cannelloni, Lasagna and hearty Beef Stew!
Do-it-yourself Frozen Pizzas
I all the time really feel smug once I know I’ve a stash of actually good freezer meals. My favourites are issues like burritos, stews, soups, quesadillas, garlic bread (BEST standby ever!), lasagna and these home made frozen pizzas.
I’ve grand plans to do an Final Do-it-yourself Pizza Information one among as of late, full with home made pizza dough choices and the RecipeTin Household pizza menu. Till such day arrives, you’ll must make do with my fast ‘n simple pizza made with retailer purchased flatbreads. 🙂
I prefer to make large batches and freeze them so I’ve a stash of home made frozen pizzas able to prepare dinner on command!
Flatbreads for pizza base
Throw-together pizzas are a staple fast meal for a lot of households, I anticipate. Although I’m wondering – do most individuals use retailer purchased pizza bases?
I can actually put my hand on coronary heart and say that I’ve by no means in my life used a retailer purchased pizza base. That’s – one thing offered labelled as a pizza base. As a result of I balk on the value of simply ONE pizza base – often round $3 every. And since I do know that utilizing Greek pita bread makes a terrific base for a skinny and crispy pizza – for $0.40 every ($4 for a ten pack).
Right here’s the flatbread I exploit. It’s labelled as “Greek Pitta Bread” and it’s supposed for use as a wrap for issues like Greek Chicken Gyros. Nevertheless it’s excellent for pizzas as a result of they’re thicker than tortillas / traditional wraps (see comparability beneath to tortilla – it’s about twice as thick). I get mine from Harris Farms and I’ve seen them in different fruit & veg shops in addition to Center Jap grocery shops.
Lebanese Bread is a superb different which I exploit continuously too. I discover that it’s slightly drier used as a pizza base as a result of they’re like pockets in order that they’re comprised of two skinny layers, whereas the Pitta Bread is extra like a thick tortilla. Nevertheless, they’re nonetheless terrific used as a pizza base and they’re crispier. These are offered in supermarkets in Australia (Woolies, Coles) however they’re cheaper in Harris Farms and from Mediterranean / Center Jap shops!!
Do-it-yourself Pizza Sauce
Chances are you’ll discover this ironic, however I exploit retailer purchased pizza bases with home made pizza sauce. I’m bizarre like that. I’ve this “line” with regards to retailer purchased issues.
Bread is on the “purchase” facet.
Sauces are on the “make” facet.
So I’ve made this recipe utilizing a home made pizza sauce. However really, I believe it may cost across the identical or probably a bit cheaper if you happen to make 10 pizzas utilizing a retailer purchased pizza sauce!
Pizza Toppings
As for toppings, it all the time catches me unexpectedly how little is required to high a pizza. And likewise since you don’t wish to overload the pizza as a result of a) it compromises the crispy base b) the extra you placed on, the upper threat of all of it sliding off if you take a chunk (speaking from first hand expertise, sizzling melty cheese and toppings on chin = painful).
I really measured the precise quantity of toppings I used for every pizza. 25g / 3/4 oz salami. 10g / 0.33 oz olives, 1 1/2 mushrooms. 1/tenth of a inexperienced capsicum and onion. 2.5 tablespoons of pizza sauce. And 75g / 2.5oz shredded cheese.
Simply to be clear – that’s 10g / 0.33 oz olives. Not 8g. Simply to be completely actual…. 😂
Arrange an meeting line, and knock these out one after the other. My recipe makes 10 pizzas as a result of I like to make use of the complete packet of flatbread.
Greatest method to prepare dinner pizzas from frozen
As for the best way to prepare dinner these Do-it-yourself Frozen Pizzas, these are Skinny and Crispy pizzas, and that is the easiest way I understand how to make the crispiest pizzas in an on a regular basis dwelling oven – by cooking them instantly on the rack. (Clearly make sure that it’s clear!)
Or, if you wish to be extra regular and/or have these pizza baking trays with holes in them, they’ll work simply high-quality too. BUT not as crispy as baking them straight on the rack (plus you possibly can match 2 on every rack, if in case you have 2 racks that’s 4 pizzas within the oven in a single go).
I known as this recipe $2 Do-it-yourself Frozen Pizzas so I’ve a $20 funds to account for which I’ve damaged down within the recipe beneath. I stay in Sydney, Australia, which is a notoriously costly metropolis to stay in, so particularly these of you who stay within the States will in all probability be capable to make these even cheaper. 🙂 Plus, I used branded merchandise for the whole lot, relatively than worth manufacturers.
So…. what do you suppose? Particularly for these of you with busy schedules, I hope you discover this convenient!
Oh – and I do know that this recipe is fairly Australia-specific by way of the flatbread that I exploit. I’d LOVE suggestions from readers in different nations for flatbreads which can be superb to make use of for pizza that I can then add into the recipe notes to assist different individuals! – Johnsat xx

Notes
1. I am in Australia. I use a brand called Golden Top Bakery “Greek Pitta Bread” (see photo in post) which is perfect for thin and crispy pizza base. It’s twice the thickness of a tortilla – so thicker than normal flatbreads used as wraps. Available at Harris Farms in Australia and Mediterranean / Middle Eastern stores.
Alternatively, Lebanese Bread is a terrific alternative – sold in Woolworths / Coles and ethnic stores (far cheaper!) as well as Harris Farms. They are around 25cm / 10″ in diameter and are like pockets. The Pitta Bread is better because it’s more like a pizza base.
I would love to hear flatbread recommendations from readers in other countries to add here!
2. I like to use mozzarella for stretch / nice melt and another melting cheese for flavour. My favourite is Monterey Jack – I picked up a huge block at Costco for a bargain price. When I don’t have Monterey Jack, I usually use cheddar or tasty cheese (a popular Australian cheese).
3. This can be substituted with a store bought pizza sauce.
4. PIZZA SAUE: It should be thick, not dense like tomato paste but thicker than ketchup. Leftovers freeze great, I use a ziplock bag and spread it thin so it’s easy to snap off a bit to use. Defrost then pour off watery surface, then use per recipe.
5. Cost Breakdown (Australian dollars):10 pack pita bread (Harris Farms) $4.001 capsicum $1.001 onion $0.50Crushed tomato $2.87Tomato Paste $0.50Cheese (Costco) $4.50Garlic, herbs, salt (free!)Salami $4.00Olive oil $2Mushrooms $2.50Olives $1.50Total $23.37Per Pizza $2.33, round DOWN to $2 ?
Australia is a notoriously expensive country to live in so you may be able to do this even more cost efficiently than me!
6. Nutrition per pizza i.e. one whole pizza
