Why would you eat frozen pizza? Doesn't your family own a pizzeria?
My favorite is MacPhantom's Homemade Frozen Pizza.
1 1/2 cups flour, plus 1/4-1/2 cup
2/3 cup warm water (not tap)
1 pkg rapid rise yeast
1/4 tsp sugar
3/4 tsp salt
2 tsp olive oil
1 can Don Pepino's Pizza Sauce
Shredded Mozzarella
Oregano
Garlic Powder
Parmesan Cheese
Mix the sugar into the water, and add the packet of yeast. Let it sit until it starts to bubble, about five minutes. Mix together the 1 1/2 cups of flour with the salt. When the yeast is bubbly, add it and the water and the olive oil to the flour, and mix until it forms a dough. Knead it a few minutes until it starts to get smooth. Let it rise for as long as you can be patient (an hour is good, but ten minutes if you're really hungry). Pre-heat the oven to 450°. Punch down the dough, and using the flour work the dough until you have a smooth, round ball. Flatten into a disc, then press out on a greased 16" pizza pan (not one of those holey pans). Spread on your sauce, sprinkle with garlic powder. Sprinkle on some Parmesan. Toss on your Mozzarella (however much you like). Add any other toppings you want (I like pineapples and jalepeño peppers, or mushrooms). Sprinkle on a bit more Parmesan. Sprinkle on lots of oregano. Bake that sucker for about ten minutes, on the lower racks if you like it crunchy on the bottom, or higher up if you like it lighter. If you want it to be a frozen pizza, don't bake it. Wrap it in cling film and freeze it on the pan. You can pull it out later and whack it in the oven just like you would any other cr@ppy frozen pizza, only it'll taste much better.
