![]() My recipe makes 10 pizzas because I like to use the entire packet of flatbread.Īs for how to cook these Homemade Frozen Pizzas, these are Thin and Crispy pizzas, and this is the best way I know how to make the crispiest pizzas in an everyday home oven – by cooking them directly on the rack. Set up an assembly line, and knock these out one by one. Just to be clear – that’s 10g / 0.33 oz olives. I actually measured the exact amount of toppings I used for each pizza. And also because you don’t want to overload the pizza because a) it compromises the crispy base b) the more you put on, the higher risk of it all sliding off when you take a bite (talking from first hand experience, hot melty cheese and toppings on chin = painful). But actually, I think it might cost around the same or possibly a bit cheaper if you make 10 pizzas using a store bought pizza sauce!Īs for toppings, it always catches me by surprise how little is required to top a pizza. So I’ve made this recipe using a homemade pizza sauce. I have this “line” when it comes to store bought things. You may find this ironic, but I use store bought pizza bases with homemade pizza sauce. These are sold in supermarkets in Australia (Woolies, Coles) but they are cheaper in Harris Farms and from Mediterranean / Middle Eastern stores!! Homemade Pizza Sauce However, they are still terrific used as a pizza base and they are crispier. I find that it’s a little drier used as a pizza base because they are like pockets so they’re comprised of two thin layers, whereas the Pitta Bread is more like a thick tortilla. Lebanese Bread is a great alternative which I use frequently too. I get mine from Harris Farms and I’ve seen them in other fruit & veg stores as well as Middle Eastern grocery stores. But it’s perfect for pizzas because they are thicker than tortillas / usual wraps (see comparison below to tortilla – it’s about twice as thick). It’s labelled as “Greek Pitta Bread” and it’s supposed to be used as a wrap for things like Greek Chicken Gyros. And because I know that using Greek pita bread makes a terrific base for a thin and crispy pizza – for $0.40 each ($4 for a 10 pack). That is – something sold labelled as a pizza base. Because I balk at the price of just ONE pizza base – usually around $3 each. I can honestly put my hand on heart and say that I have never in my life used a store bought pizza base. Though I wonder – do most people use store bought pizza bases? Throw-together pizzas are a staple quick meal for many households, I expect. I like to make big batches and freeze them so I have a stash of homemade frozen pizzas ready to cook on command!
