Egg Free, Dairy Free Frozen Bread Dough Pizza

Jazlyn wanted pizza for supper, but I didn't have any of the refrigerated pizza dough or any Bisquick. However, I did have some frozen bread dough. It worked really well for the stromboli, so we decided to use it for the pizza. The crust turned out so perfect, a little crunchy and a little chewy. We thawed 2 loaves of the bread so we could make a "meat lovers" pizza on the pizza pan and a "veggie lovers" pizza on the baking sheet. I separated the leftovers into individual portions then wrapped them in foil to freeze for quick lunches later. They reheated great.

Update - I just made the pizzas again. This time I thawed 4 of the frozen bread doughs. I made 4 different varieties so that we would have plenty of leftovers to freeze. We made a pepperoni sausage, sausage olive, pepperoni olive and Hawaiian (crushed pineapple and diced ham).

Frozen Bread Dough Pizza

1 loaf frozen bread dough, thawed and risen according to the package directions
Pizza or tomato sauce
Toppings desired such as pepperoni, sausage, ground beef, diced ham, diced peppers, diced onions,
        sliced black olives, pineapple chunks, diced or sliced tomatoes, etc.

Stretch and spread the dough out onto a sprayed pizza pan or baking sheet. Spread the sauce and toppings evenly over the dough. Bake at 375 for 20-30 minutes or until the crust is golden and the toppings are hot.

Frozen Bread Dough Cinnamon Balls

I love finding new uses for frozen bread dough. We've made stromboli and pizza. I decided to try and make some cinnamon balls for a fun breakfast. I thawed the bread in the fridge the night before. Before we started school the next morning, I asked the girls if they wanted to make something new. I had them roll the balls, dip them in the melted margarine then in a mixture of brown sugar and cinnamon. They had so much fun making them and the smell while they were baking was incredible. They were so good and reminded me almost of a Cinnabon.

Frozen Bread Dough Cinnamon Balls

1 loaf frozen bread dough, thawed
1/2 cup brown sugar
1-3 tsp cinnamon
3-4 tbsp dairy free margarine, melted

Form the dough into 1-2” balls. Combine the brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll the balls into the melted margarine then into the brown sugar mixture. Place the coated balls into an 8x8 or round baking dish. Pour any remaining margarine and brown sugar mixture over the dough. Heat the stove to the lowest setting. Place the bread in the stove then turn off the heat. After 30 minutes, turn the oven to 350 then bake for 25-30 minutes or until cooked through. Cool for a few minutes before serving.
* If desired, drizzle with a confectioner’s sugar glaze while still hot.

Egg Free Dairy Free Frozen Bread Dough Stromboli

We were in the mood for stromboli but I didn't have any of the refrigerated pizza dough. However, I did have some frozen bread dough. I used the quick thaw method to prepare the dough and it was so good. This dough was thicker and reminded me more of the stromboli you get at a pizza place. Next time I'm going to prepare 2 bread doughs, divide the doughs into 5 portions and make each of us our own customized stromboli.

Frozen Bread Dough Stromboli

1 loaf frozen bread dough, thawed and risen according to the package directions
Pizza or tomato sauce (I used an 8 oz can)
Toppings desired such as pepperoni, diced lunchmeat, sausage, ground beef, diced peppers,
           diced onions, sliced olives, etc.

Spread the dough out onto a foil lined baking sheet. Spread the sauce and toppings into the center of the dough. Bring up the sides and ends to enclose the filling, pinching to seal. Bake at 375 for 18-22 minutes or until golden.
*  I usually make 3 strombolis at a time then slice the leftovers into individual portions, wrap them in foil then freeze them for another meal.
