Wonderful tasty easy pizza dough! I substituted a half cup whole wheat flour in for the same amount of flour, and used garlic salt in place of regular salt. After the pizza rounds were cool, I went ahead and sauced them all, added cheese and toppings, and flash froze. After the pizzas were frozen, I wrapped in plastic wrap and popped them into large freezer bags. Just last week I pulled out a couple, preheated the oven to 400, and baked right on the rack for 12 minutes. They came out INCREDIBLE! The crust was nice and crispy, the cheese and toppings just right....the ease of frozen pizza with the taste of homemade! I'll NEVER buy a supermarket frozen pizza again, now that I know how to make my own!

These were good and very quick to make. I do prefer the dough I usually make, though, as this one trades a little flavor for speed. I feel that a slow rise, especially an overnight retarding of the dough in the refrigerator, develops a more complex flavor. I also like a very crispy crust, which is easier to attain if the crusts are baked on a hot stone, as the stone pulls moisture from the dough. I used a skillet for the sake of following the recipe, but used a stone when I baked the topped pizzas (they did crispen up, but I don't think as much as if the dough is originally baked on the stone). I did vary the mixing instructions, since I used a food processor to mix and knead the dough. I went ahead and made the pizzas without freezing the crusts, but they would be very handy to keep on hand in the freezer. All this said, I do think this is a very worthwhile recipe, and the ease and speed may encourage those who've never made their own dough to do so. It is also very handy in the event you are wanting pizza, but don't have the advantage of having made the dough ahead of time. I like to grill pizzas when the weather is warm, so with summer approaching I'm sure I'll be making these again. Thanks for posting!

Perfect for me living in Morocco without an oven!!! I also made my pizzas back in the skillet. I used homemade sauce, a mix of cheese, some oregano, and a ton of thin sliced onions. I just put the lid on near the end to completely melt the cheese, then a couple of mins more uncovered. It wasn't browned (the cheese) the way I love it but it was excellent and beats going without pizza!!! Thank you so much!

Coming back to edit with some stars, as promised some time ago. This pizza crust was perfect for our family. We've made it once already and everyone enjoyed making their own pizzas. I even made focaccia out of my piece. I'll be making another 2 or 3 batches of this for the freezer to pull out for quick meals. I should say that I made the dough in my bread machine on the dough setting and I loved the texture of it.

I really liked this. It's the first time I've baked with yeast, and it came out perfectly. I even used 1 cup whole wheat flour in place of some of the white. I made 8 "personal pizza" sized crusts in a skillet, but felt they were still a bit doughy after being cooked only on one side.(after I fixed one with jarred tomato sauce and cheese) I put them all back in a 400 degree oven right on the racks for about 5 minutes. That seemed to finish the cooking. I then topped one with pesto and sliced fresh mozzerella. Wonderful, and VERY crispy! Can't wait to try other toppings. Thanks for a quick replacement for frozen pizza!

So sorry I forgot to review this! Have been making these for a few years now. Love them. I make lots and freeze them. They work out perfectly when my teens bring home unexpected guests. They always enjoy making their own pizzas. I sometimes sprinkle a little cornmeal on one side of the dough prior to frying it up in the pan. I just like the texture. Thanks for a great recipe.

These were so easy and good. This is the first time I used yeast, and so I am very happy that these turned out really good.

I really liked this recipe. I have a 3 year old and he can now "make" his own pizza. I pull one of these out (I make lots of little indivicual ones as well as some adult sizes) of the freezer and he can top with his own sauce and cheese and toppings. He thinks its great. He helped me make the dough (I threw it all in the bread machine on automatic dough cycle) andto roll out the ..ahem..circles! Thank you for a great recipe. Edit: We did these for OAMC last night and I made the dough by hand and let my son cut out shapes using large cookie cutters. We now have pizzas in toddler size portions and in star, people and heart shapes, they're brilliant!

I made your recipe and it's so easy now to make a nice snack for the grandkids when they come home from school. I was so surprised with how good they really turned out. The kids loved them. I can now keep a supply of shells on hand for after-school snacks. A 15 oz can of pizza sauce is enough to cover the 8 pizzas. I made 2 shells today and divided and froze the remainder sauce to pull out of the freezer along with each shell. Great!

This was really nice and my kids and I enjoyed it very much. Very easy and a great idea! I never would have thought of frying and freezing pizza dough!
