An easy way to prepare pizza crusts and freeze for later. Of course, you could use them immediately! I like this recipe b/c as a "single babe"... I'm mostly cooking for one these days and like being able to pull an individual-size pizza crust out of the freezer for a quick dinner... or when I have unexpected company!

  • Cook each round on each side in a non-stick 8" skillet coated w/ cooking spray over med heat about 2 mins per side or til dough rounds are lightly browned.

  • TO MAKE PIZZA: Place frozen crusts on baking sheets; spread w/ 1/4 c pasta sauce and sprinkle w/ favorite toppings.

  • FOR EXTRA FLAVOR: I like to add Italian seasoning/spices to the crust for extra flavor.

Tips:

  • To make sure the pizza crust is cooked through, preheat the skillet over medium-high heat before adding the dough.

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Be creative with your toppings! There are endless possibilities.
