Par-Bake the Pizza Crust

- Pop holes with a fork in the center of your pizza – everywhere but where the crust will be – and brush lightly with olive oil.
- Bake at 450°F (230°C) for 7 minutes, then remove and cool par-baked crust before assembling pizzas. - *NOTE* Crust will not be fully cooked at this time
Assemble and Freeze
- Assemble your pizzas with preferred toppings on parchment paper for easy transfer.
- Place the assembled pizzas in the freezer for about 3 hours before wrapping.
- Wrap each pizza tightly in parchment or freezer paper, then plastic wrap to keep ingredients fresh.
- Label with the date and contents before storing in the freezer.
Bake Your Frozen Pizza
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
- Remove all wrapping and place the pizza directly on the oven rack or baking stone.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden.
