Frozen pizza dough is a practical and versatile ingredient consisting of a mixture of flour, water, yeast, salt, and sometimes oil, which is pre-prepared and fermented, then frozen to maintain its freshness until the moment of use. This product saves time in the kitchen by avoiding the need to make it from scratch, making it ideal for those who want to prepare homemade pizza quickly and easily.
Its origin is linked to the popularization of pizza, especially in Italy, although pre-made and frozen dough as a commercial product was developed mainly in countries with a high demand for fast and convenient foods, such as the United States and various Latin American countries.
In terms of its properties, frozen pizza dough maintains a good texture and flavor after being thawed and baked. It is rich in carbohydrates, which are the main sources of energy, and may contain a certain amount of protein and fiber depending on the flours used. Furthermore, it is a perfect canvas for adding various ingredients and creating customized pizzas.
In the Hispanic world, frozen pizza dough is also known as frozen pizza base, frozen pizza crust, or simply pizza base, terms that vary regionally but refer to the same basic ingredient for preparing homemade or quick pizzas.
