How to Make Homemade Frozen Pizza

My daughter requested homemade pizza for her birthday dinner a couple of weeks ago.  To make life simpler, I assembled the pizzas ahead of time and froze them.  This was a real timesaver and allowed me to not feel rushed the day of her party.

The pizzas were made using my tried and true pizza crust recipe.  I used a combination of whole wheat flour and unbleached flour since we were having company.  However, for my family we have been using whole wheat flour for the past couple of years.

Pre-baking the crust for 10 minutes once it is in the pan has proven to be the best way for us to make homemade pizza.  Then, we top the crusts with sauce and our favorite toppings.  We cover them with plastic wrap, but have found shower caps are the perfect size to cover a pizza pan.  Finally, we pop them into the freezer and they are ready to go when we need them.

When you wish to bake the frozen pizza simply put it into a 400 degree preheated oven for 15 + minutes (until cheese is melted and starting to slightly brown.

Below is my whole wheat pizza crust recipe that you can print out.  Enjoy!

Whole Wheat Pizza Dough

Ingredients
  • 2 Cups Very Warm Water
  • 1 Tbsp. Yeast
  • 1 Tbsp. Sugar
  • 3 Tbsp. Olive Oil
  • 4 ½ – 5 Cups 100% Whole Wheat Flour
  • 1 tsp. Salt
  • 1 Tbsp. White Vinegar
Instructions
  1. Mix water, yeast, sugar and olive oil in a bowl.
  2. Let stand until bubbles form on top.
  3. Mix flour, salt, vinegar and wet ingredients together in a mixing bowl.
  4. Mix the dough until it forms a ball in the mixer.
  5. Let the dough rise until doubled in size.
  6. Divide the dough into two sections.
  7. Use a little flour to help roll out the dough.
  8. Press into two pizza pans.
  9. Pre-bake the crusts in a preheated 400 degree oven for 10 minutes.
  10. Remove from oven and add pizza sauce, toppings of choice, and shredded cheese.
  11. Bake for an additional 15 minutes or until cheese is melted.
  12. Cut into slices and serve.
Notes
All-purpose or unbleached flour can be substituted for the whole wheat. Do not add the vinegar if not using whole wheat flour.
*Alternatively, the pizzas can be covered with plastic wrap or foil and frozen until ready to eat.
***You can use the dough before letting it rise, but the dough will work much better if it has been allowed to rise.

This little ray of sunshine turned ten years old t This little ray of sunshine turned ten years old today. Janna loves laughing, learning, writing, singing, nature, animals, school, people...just about everything really. 🙂  Janna has been a true joy, and I am so thankful God has allowed me to be her mama. 

While I’m a little sad that none of my kids are “little”anymore, I am so excited to see what the future holds for my girl. Janna is always setting goals, and she just started a new list of “life goals” that already almost fills a page. Whatever the future holds for my sweet Janna, I know she will give it her all and do it with a smile on her face. 

Happy birthday, Janna! You are so loved. ❤️
I really needed today. This month has been very bu I really needed today. This month has been very busy, and an e-learning/snow day was much appreciated by everyone in my house. Joseph, Janna, and I had so much fun playing in the snow this afternoon. Here are a few pictures of our adventures. (Janna is wearing a coat my mom made for me nearly 40 years ago.)
I have mixed emotions when I reflect on all that h I have mixed emotions when I reflect on all that has happened in 2020. There have been so many negatives for so many people. I can’t say it has all been positive for me either. However, there are some things that have happened in 2020 for which I am so grateful. 
.
The main thing I am grateful for is the extra time I was able to spend with my kids. We had so much fun during quarantine and this summer. I know this wasn’t the case for everyone, but I do not regret the days when we had nothing planned and could just have fun together. Whether it was walking in the woods, playing games, watching a movie together, or even doing chores, I never once heard an “I’m bored.” 🙂 
.
In addition to the gift of more time together, I am also grateful for all of the milestones we have celebrated this year. In June, my parents celebrated their 50th anniversary, and then we had four milestone birthdays. Julia turned 21, James turned 18, Joshua turned 16, and Joseph turned 13. (Janna felt left out, so we told her that her birthday was special because it was her last birthday in single digits.) Also, today marks 25 years that JT and I have been married. 
.
While I won’t be sorry to see 2020 go, and I hope
and pray 2021 is better for so many people who are hurting right now, I don’t ever want to forget the good times we had this year. 
.
P.S. I took all of these pictures over fall break.
The girls and I recorded our parts for our virtual The girls and I recorded our parts for our virtual church service yesterday, and I couldn’t resist getting a picture with them in front of this beautiful Christmas tree. ❤️
James has been playing school basketball since he James has been playing school basketball since he was in the fourth grade. Tonight he and his fellow Seniors  were recognized at their game, and I just can’t believe James is this old. 
.
Normally, Senior Night is the last game of the season. However,  because everything in the world seems so uncertain right now, we wanted to make sure the boys got a chance to be recognized. We wanted something “normal” for them. I am thankful James and his teammates not only got recognized but also won their game. 
.
P.S. We had our masks on at all times other than when we took pictures.
We have another teenager in the house! Joseph is t We have another teenager in the house! Joseph is turning 13 today, and it just doesn’t seem possible. The beautiful baby boy who was placed in my arms on a cold and foggy day in December is still my “little” guy. However, after looking at this picture of the two of us, I don’t think he will be shorter than me for long. Joseph is still my shy guy, but he is also sweet, loving, kind, and just an all around good kid. We also lovingly refer to him as the cat whisperer because the kittens and cats follow him around like puppies. 🙂 It has been so much fun to have Joseph at school with me this year now that he is in junior high, and I am so thankful that I get to be his mama. Happy birthday, Joseph! ❤️
2020 has been challenging in so many ways. One of 2020 has been challenging in so many ways. One of those challenges was self-inflicted. 🙂 I just finished my fourth master’s level course of 2020 through Ball State, and I passed the high ability licensure exam last Thursday. This means that I will soon have high ability added to my teaching license. 
.
When I signed up to take my first class in January, I had no idea what 2020 was going to entail. Teaching in a pandemic isn’t for the faint of heart. Taking classes and caring for five kids while teaching in a pandemic has allowed me to see what I am really made of. I don’t mean to brag, but I am pretty happy that I received straight A’s. Beyond that, I learned so much, and I am grateful for this opportunity even though I felt stretched to my limits some days. 
.
Yes, 2020 has been challenging, but I have been blessed with more time with my family, knowledge gained, and challenges met and overcome.
I almost forgot to post this here. 🎂 Joshua is I almost forgot to post this here. 
🎂
Joshua is 16 years old today. It doesn’t seem possible that my little pip squeak of a baby boy is now about 6’4”. Joshua is now the tallest of the family, and I’m not sure he is done growing. There hasn’t been a dull moment since Joshua arrived, and I wouldn’t want it any other way. He is a fun-loving, hard-working, kind-hearted, and intelligent young man. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for him. I am so thankful God thought I was up to the task of being Joshua’s mama. ❤️
My little 7 pound 20 inch baby boy, who didn’t c My little 7 pound 20 inch baby boy, who didn’t cry as soon as he was born but first looked around to see what was going on in the world, is now a 6’2” handsome man. I truly never thought the years would go by so quickly, but here we are. James is 18 today. 

There are so many words I could use to describe James: hardworking, dedicated, persevering, intelligent, funny, curious, kindhearted, dependable, respectful, and helpful. I could also expound upon his accomplishments, and I could tell you how great he is. However, I don’t love James for what he has accomplished but simply because he is my son.

I have been so blessed to be James’s mom, and I thank God every day for entrusting him into my care. I don’t know what the future will hold for him, but I know he will do great things. 

For anyone reading this who is struggling with a tantrum throwing toddler, a strong-willed child, and/or a child who questions everything, I would like to encourage you. Look for the positive qualities your child possesses such as perseverance, dedication, and curiosity and build upon that. I will never regret the hard days of parenting because my prayers and hard work have paid off. Helping James reach his full potential and keep those qualities without breaking his spirit has been worth the effort.

Happy Birthday, James!
