How many pizzas, assuming about a 12 inch diameter will I get from a pound of pizza dough with a thin crust? I’m not looking for cracker thin, but on the thin side. If it yields more than one, can I freeze the unused dough or should I bake and freeze a second pizza?
This recipe says one pound of dough is enough for two 9-inch pizzas, so I guess maybe you can make one 12-inch pizza and use the leftover dough for breadsticks?
Thank you!
Area of 9-inch pizza is ~64 square inches.
Area of 12-inch pizza is ~113 square inches.
You might get one smallish bread stick.
You can freeze the rest as a dough ball. Don’t microwave it to thaw. I let it thaw in the fridge, then rise in a warm spot.
For $1.29, I buy Trader Joe’s pizza dough instead of making my own. It comes in one-pound bags.
One bag of dough makes one 14-inch pizza using this pan, or it will make two calzones.
Thanks, all, I think I’m going for the one pizza, a little larger than the 12, but it makes more sense and I’m sure it will get eaten.
Good luck with the thin crust. Every pizza crust I’ve tried to make thin, by patting out dough, has ended up thicker than I want because, elastic, won’t stay put. I gave up on that, just buy a Boboli crust, or something similar.
