When we mention frozen pizza dough, we mean both homemade frozen pizza dough and store-bought. If you are facing confusion about reprocessing your frozen pizza dough, keep reading. Below we have mentioned three methods to thaw and reprocess frozen pizza dough.

The Overnight Method:

The best method for you is the overnight method. Your dough will be ready for use if you thaw it by this method. The process requires about 12-14 hours of thawing. Take your frozen dough balls. Make sure you don’t remove the dough from the plastic bags. Let the dough sit in the refrigerator overnight. After 12-hours, take out your dough from the fridge. Now take a bowl and grease it with any oil.

The best option for you is olive oil. Now take out the dough from the plastic bag, and place it in the bowl. Let the dough rest in the bowl for about one hour. Wait until the dough attains room temperature. After an hour, your dough will rise. Punch it a few times, and it is ready to use.

The Few-Hours Method:

This method is the most common because it does not require many hours. Take the dough and remove it from the plastic balls. Now take a bowl and grease it with oil. You can also grease it with cooking spray. Now place the dough in the bowl. Cover the bowl with parchment paper or wax paper. The next thing you have to do is put your dough in a hot area. The best option for you is the oven.

Place the bowl in an oven with a light or the radiator on top. Let the bowl sit there for about four hours. After this time, the size of your dough will double. Now your dough is ready to use.

The Quick Method:

If you don’t have much time to thaw your frozen dough, then this one is for you. It should be a priority for people who have a tight schedule. Take a bowl and fill it with cold water. Place the dough (with the plastic bag) in the bowl. Make sure you use a large bowl since your dough will rise. Let the dough bags sit in the cold water until they arise. Now, fetch out the dough balls from the plastic bag, and let them attain room temperature.
