Re: Freezing pizza - labradors - 07-24-2007 Quote: In one of my own follow-up messages, I mentioned that these are being made to be sold by someone else when a customer orders them. Thus, thawing them overnight would defeat the purpose of having them frozen in the first place. In addition, were they not frozen, they would normally take only 10-12 minutes at 500 degrees, and 30 minutes would just be too long to expect someone to sit and wait for a pizza at an art gallery that just happens to have a café. Thanks anyway. Quote: Thanks, but this is exactly what I have already been doing, which is why one of my earlier replies said, "the crust on the cooked pizzas (even partially cooked) became quite hard when reheated." That is why I also asked what could be done to modify the dough recipe so it would prevent the problem without changing the taste and character of the crust TOO much. Re: Freezing pizza - HomeCulinarian - 07-24-2007 Sounds like you've aleady tried lots of angles on this problem... The 30 minutes was for a whole deep dish pie. Makes me think of my catering friend who refuses to do "drop offs". He did for a time, then found he would never get good comment card reviews after those events because he lost control of portions and quality. Let us know if you ever solve it! Re: Freezing pizza - cjs - 07-24-2007 labradors, one thing you have not told us is, what kind of facility does your friend/gallery owner have to do the heating of the pizza. That would give us a good clue as to how to heat the slices or how to prep them for this to work. Re: Freezing pizza - labradors - 07-24-2007 Quote: The gallery is actually a large house, and she just uses the electric oven to reheat them (my oven is gas, and a little bigger, but still a home-style oven). She does have a microwave for some things, as well, but that would not be the primary means of cooking pizzas, of course. Other than that, the café is the front and side patio area around the house. It has a fair amount of room, but she is, after all, a painter, and this is supposed to be something supplemental (but regular) as opposed to primary (since bigger art purchases are not, necessarily, an everyday thing). |
