Notes
If you are short on time, you can buy pizza dough in the refrigerated or frozen sections of most grocery stores. You can also find it available in the deli or bakery of your local store.Have a favorite pizza restaurant? Ask them if they sell just their pizza dough! I have found several that do, mostly locally owned restaurants.Making the homemade pizza dough? I will make the whole batch and then divide them into individual rounds, wrap them up in plastic wrap and store in freezer bags, put them in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you're ready to make your own pizza, remove from the freezer the night before to defrost in refrigerator or defrost several hours at room temperature.
