I freeze mine in balls, thaw in fridge the night before and bring to room temp before I roll it out and bake it. Works great for me

Another inexpensive place to get these at most Dollar General/Dollar Tree stores. My local dollar tree has them (and of course they are a $1) They are perfect for freezing, I use a small round cake pan I bought there for deep dish pizza and I love it!

[...] even like to buy the pizza dough from the deli and roll it out at home if I don’t have any left in the freezer. Serve the roasted chicken on the first night, reserve a 1/2 cup of shredded chicken for the [...]

Biweekly, I make vegan dough and roll out four separate pizzas to accommodate each individual’s food allergies… There’s usually a plain cheese pizza (for big brother), a meat lovers (for daddy), a vegan pizza w/tomato sauce (for little sis) and a pesto vegetarian variety (for mommy). It satisfies our “fast food” craving despite the fact that eating out is no longer an option!
Another favorite of ours (and faster than pizza) is focaccia bread. I find the toppings go on faster and easier and it is so versatile!

I buy my dough at Trader Joe’s and after much experimentation, here’s what I do.

I let the dough sit out on the counter for a couple of hours until it’s room temp. It’s so easy to roll it out with just a little bit of flour on the board so it doesn’t stick.

I transfer to metal pizza pans, add the pizza sauce, cheese and toppings and bake at 450. I bake on the bottom rack and only one pizza at a time (if I bake 2, the crust doesn’t get as crunchy due to the steam).

I buy the bag of dough in the supermarket for $.99. I have a hard time with dough. I’m not good at rolling it out. Someone told me room temp is easier. I tried it, but I’m still no good! Any tips?

I make the dough, usually thick pan style, roll out and partially cook it in the oven with just sauce on top (too thick to bake with the cheese, cheese burns and crust is underdone) After the crust is baked I let it cool, add a little more sauce (because the cooking process dries out the thin layer I put ion in the 1st place) add the cheese and place it on a large piece of recycled cardboard (that way I can cut it to fit in my side by side freezer) and wrap the whole thing in plastic wrap and freeze I then place it directly from frozen on the oven rack and bake at 375 until the cheese is melted. Hubby gives it a big thumbs up!
