Freezing homemade pizzas can lead to freezer burn, which affects their taste and texture. To avoid this, pizzas should be tightly wrapped in plastic wrap then aluminum foil to minimize exposure to cold air. This double wrapping helps preserve moisture and prevents discoloration. An alternative method is to freeze pizzas unwrapped on a tray first to keep the toppings intact before packaging. Using a freezer bag with a straw can also help eliminate air and reduce freezer burn risks, ensuring your pizzas maintain their quality during storage.
Freezer burn occurs when the moisture inside foods freezes into ice crystals and is lost through sublimation, leading to dryness and altered taste.
Wrapping your pies tightly in plastic wrap helps save the base, sauce, and cheese from losing moisture while preventing discolored patches.
To protect homemade pizza from freezer burn, it is recommended to wrap them twice: first in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil.
Freezing pizzas unwrapped first on a tray prevents cheese and toppings from sticking, making it easy to package without disturbing them.
