My family loves this recipe for pizza dough. The recipe came from Cooks Illustrated and I have tweaked it a bit. I have used the dough before to make pizzas and Stromboli.
The dough recipe below makes enough to make two medium pizzas or Stromboli, so I take half the dough and wrap it in plastic wrap and then put it in a freezer zip-lock. The other half of the dough I roll out until it is about covering the cookie sheet. I then put large pepperoni, onions, peppers and cheese in the middle of the dough.
Then I cut the dough up to where the food is and start to cross the strips over in a braid pattern.
Once I am finished braiding it I add a bit of garlic salt on top. Cook it in the oven at 350 degrees for about 15-20 minutes.
It is so good to eat and I love having the second dough ball in the freezer to make a meal easy at night.
Freezer Pizza Dough
½ cup warm water
1 envelope yeast
1 ¼ cups room temperature water
2 tbsp. Vegetable oil
4 1/3 cups flour
Mix yeast and warm water together in a bowl. Then mix flour and salt in a bowl. Add the room temperature water and vegetable oil to the yeast mixture and stir.
Add the water mixture to the dry ingredients and mix at a low speed with a dough hook. Allow the dough hook to kneed the dough for about 5 minutes. Remove the dough and place in large greased bowl. Cover bowl with towel and allow to rise for about 1 1/2 hours.
Punch down the dough and then divide the dough in half. Wrap each halves of the dough in plastic wrap and place in a zip-lock in the freezer. To defrost dough leave it overnight in the refrigerator.
Cook at 350 for 15-20 minutes for the stromboli or at 475 for about 10-12 minutes for the pizza.
