So couldn't yeast be added to frozen pizza dough let sit out for yeast to do its mojo then frozen, when cooked it would be identical yeast mojo'd to normal pizza.
Or am I missing something?
Yeast is 90% inactive 34-38 degrees F. It will rise but only slightly in a refrigerated environment. It increases activity as the temperature goes up. It eventually will die at higher temperatures(~120+), but the typical pizza that comes out of a conveyor or brick oven, is around 150 degrees F, so the yeast is active until it is about 75% cooked.
