Made extra pizza dough and wondering how to store it for later use? With a few simple steps, you can preserve your dough and keep it fresh for future pizza-making sessions. 

Tip 1

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days. This slows the fermentation, keeping it fresh. 

Tip 2

Divide the dough into portions, wrap tightly in plastic, and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before using. 

Tip 3

Lightly coat the dough with olive oil before wrapping to prevent sticking and drying out. 

Tip 4

Store the dough in an airtight container, allowing room for expansion as it continues to rise slightly. 

Tip 5

If you have a vacuum sealer, use it to remove air and keep the dough fresh for longer in the freezer.
