Left in fridge about 8 hrs, but never rose after the initial 1 hour rise. I used Bread Machine yeast, could this be the problem?
Pizza was still very good, and I'll make it again. Sauce was great too.
Can the pizza dough be frozen? There is only 2 of us and this is a lot of pizza! How far do I need to go before I can put it in the freezer?
Bread machine yeast should have worked just fine; unless it was out of date, but if it rose once, that shouldn't be the issue. I say, so long as you enjoyed the taste, it was a success; the crust isn't supposed to be a high-riser, by any means. You can make the dough, and freeze it right away. When you're ready to use it, thaw it in the fridge; then let it rise at room temperature until it's puffy. This takes the place of the initial 1-hour rise. Be aware it could take quite a lot longer than 1 hour, as the dough will be cold. Good luck - PJH
