Thin and crispy pizza dough

[KarenH]

Hope you read this in time Hally - for us this recipe makes 2 bases for what I would call a medium sized pizza.

Yes Karen havent started yet, its only 10am.

Was starving so made zaatar bread so not hungry anymore will be later though.

Freezing pizza cooked or uncooked? Which is best?

I've not done either - doesnt last that long in our house.  The commercial pizzas in the shops are frozen uncooked though, so I would give that a go, depending on what toppings you use, assuming they can be frozen and defrosted without going yukky.

[Halex]

I just thought pizzas would be a quick thing to get out the freezer on returning from holiday. Defrost quickly & in oven.

Maybe I wont.

I must admit having for lunch, then probably dinner, left overs get taken for lunch for ds, i would say all gone here too.

Made 1 pepperoni & capsicum, vanished in seconds. Was meant to be a snack & lunch later.
This pizza is cajun chicken & roasted pumpkin, with the excitement forgot to add the chopped parsley.

Hally, I freeze mine cooked (not saying this is better but you never know how much you want to eat which is why I cook them first) and put them straight into the oven frozen to reheat.  Both methods work though as Karen said, the ones you buy in the shops aren't cooked first.

Hally - this looks wonderful!  You dont need to risk divorce by buying an electric pizza maker    You have got it all sorted already!

Was keen to try this dough this afternoon . .  dough worked perfectly but (mistake was mine) not quite done on the base - I took it out too early . . .

This was the topping I used . .  http://allrecipes.com.au/recipe/2462/vegetarian-sweet-potato-red-lentil-pizza.aspx

It was different to anything we've tried on a pizza  but it worked really well and tasted terrific.  The only thing I did differently was  was adding two heaped teaspoons of veg stock to a cup of hot water to the sweet potato as it was cooking
 (omitted the eggplant as we didn't have any . .)

Did this in the oven which was already preheated thanks to a banana bread cooking away happily.  When it came out I just turned the oven up as far as it would go (doubt even then it was hot enough - it's a very old "I'll do it my way" kind of oven . .  )

Really appreciate the dough recipe, Narelle - and this will be the one we use from now on . . .

I only made one pizza - the other half of the dough I've frozen for next time . .

Yes & doing 2 more later. You can see how crispy it is, the edge crunched in our mouths. 9 mins for us.

Hally,  these look great.

Just used this recipe for a cooking session with miss3. We made scrolls and pizza pockets, as well as pizzas. She is happy, I am happy....and the base recipe is GREAT!!!! 
Thanx for posting it, Narelle.

All those pizzas look lovely. We use this recipe all the time for our pizzas, usually to make four individual pizzas so people (2 adults, 2 kids) can have their own toppings.

There usually isn't anything left to actually freeze (though last time I froze some dough as I made a double batch as o wasn't sure how much we'd need as we had guests over)
