PIZZA FROM FROZEN BREAD DOUGH

Steps:

• Let dough thaw overnight in the refrigerator (see here for other ways to thaw frozen dough). Pull it out and set it out on a counter for 30 minutes up a few hours before making pizza. When you're ready to shape and bake the pizza, preheat the oven to 450ºF.
• Divide the pre-made pizza dough into two. Shape each half into a ball. Use a floured rolling pin to shape the dough into a round crust. Or, shape it by hand by stretching it with your upturned hands to pull the dough from underneath in an outward motion.
• When the crust is the desired size, transfer it to a sheet pan lined with parchment paper and a light drizzle of olive oil.
• Bake the bare pizza dough in the oven at 450ºF for 5 minutes. While it is baking, prepare your toppings.
• Once the dough is ready, take it out and preheat the oven to 500ºF. Add the sauce, dried herbs, cheese, and other toppings to the pizza crust, leaving a 1" edge around. Brush olive oil around the outer crust of the dough, then lightly sprinkle the edges with salt.
• Bake the pizza at 500º F for 7-10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the edges of the crust are golden. Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before adding fresh herbs, then slice and serve.

FROZEN BREAD DOUGH

Steps:

• I sprinkle the yeast on the 4 cups water and add the 1/2 cup sugar and let the yeast work.
• In a large bowl or bread mixer mix powdered milk, 4 cups flour, salt and butter.
• Add the yeast water and mix (you can use an electric mixer) as you keep adding flour you will need to knead by hand (or use a bread mixer) Add flour until you get a stiff dough (you might not need all of flour, it depends on the moisture content of your flour) Knead for 15 minutes and then cover with a towel and let rest for 15 minutes.
• Divide dough into 4 equal balls.
• Smooth balls and place on a cookie sheet and cover with plastic wrap.
• Freeze balls until firm and then transfer to freezer bags and store in freezer.
• Recommended storage time 1 month.
• To Bake: remove frozen dough from freezer, open freezer bag and leave dough in bag to thaw or place on a cookie sheet and cover with plastic wrap to thaw.
• It is very important to have a plastic covering over dough to thaw (dough really dries out without the plastic covering).
• (It usually takes about 4 hours to thaw) Shape into loaves or leave round or make pizza crust or rolls or whatever you do with freezer dough.
• Let rise until doubled (1 1/2 hours) Bake regular bread loaves at 350 for 35 minutes.
• I like to brush the bread loaf with 1 beaten egg and return it to the oven for 5 minutes.

PIZZA ROLL UPS

HOMEMADE RUNZAS

Steps:

• Place frozen dinner roll dough on a sheet pan and rise according to package instructions. It will use 2 rolls for each sandwich.
• While dough rises, begin browning your ground beef and onion in a large skillet. When the meat is about halfway done, add in the shredded cabbage and cover with a lid. Cook until meat and cabbage are done. Drain off any excess grease or liquid. Set aside.
• When rolls have risen completely, lightly flour your surface. Remove two rolls and form a ball. Roll the ball out into a rectangle approximately 5"x7".
• Place approximately 1/3 cup of the filling in the center of the dough and spread out from top to bottom.
• Fold the bottom up and the top of the dough down and press to seal. Fold the left side over, pinching to seal. Then do the right side, gently stretching to cover the left. Pinch closed.
• Place each sandwich on a greased cookie sheet, seam side down.
• Let rise again for another 30-45 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Brush the tops with melted butter.
• Bake in a preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until bread dough is golden brown.
• Serve hot.

RHODES FRESH-BAKED BREAD

Steps:

• Spray a bread pan with non-stick cooking spray.
• Place the frozen dough in the bread pan. Spray a sheet of saran wrap with non-stick spray and place it over the bread pan. Set aside until the dough has thawed and risen 1 inch above the pan (about 4-6 hours). For faster preparation, refer to speed method directions on the original packaging.
• Once the dough has risen, remove the saran wrap and bake in the over 25-30 minutes at 350º for white bread and 325º for wheat bread.
• Once the bread has fully cooked, remove it from the oven and let it cool before slicing.
• Place the loaf on its side and use a serrated or electric knife to slice. Top with your favorite spread and enjoy!
