Frozen pizza dough

Frozen pizza dough is a pre-made bread base ready to use, which is kept frozen to preserve its freshness and facilitate storage. It is primarily made from wheat flour, water, yeast, salt, and sometimes olive oil or sugar. This dough is ideal for those who want to prepare pizza quickly and easily without having to knead or wait for long fermentation times.

The origin of pizza dough dates back to Italy, specifically to Naples, where traditional pizza was born as a popular and accessible food. The frozen version is a modern adaptation that seeks to combine Italian tradition with current convenience.

Among its properties, its contribution of complex carbohydrates, which provide sustained energy, stands out. Furthermore, being fresh frozen dough, it maintains good flavor and texture once thawed and baked. It is an excellent base for varying recipes, allowing for the addition of various ingredients and sauces to taste.

Regarding synonyms in Spanish-speaking countries, it may also be found under names such as frozen pizza base, base for frozen pizza, or frozen pizza pre-mix. In some places, it is simply called frozen dough for pizza.
