When have I ever said that here in rfc??? LOL

Yes, I've changed my mind about grocery store read pizza dough. Okay.
Take a deep breath. YES!!! I've actually done a 180°.

The last time I bought commercial pizza dough was years ago and it
made me think of what it would be like to eat play dough but this
stuff tasted like I'd made it. The down side is that I'd kept it too
many days... so it was beyond its prime - but it was still soft and
pliable. It didn't want to rise while I was bringing it to room
temperature, but it rose when it met the heat.

This is great stuff! Good to the point where it makes me wonder why I
would bother to make it myself again - because the price is right and
it's so easy to add toppings.

It's whatever it is that Safeway sells. Just because it's "you", I'll
dig in the garbage and see if it says anything other than "Safeway" on
the package. .....

Okay, I did it.

The package says Safeway "Select" Traditional Pizza Dough. That's all
I can tell you. It's PDG (pretty damned good).

Thanks for that! I rarely shop at Safeway but I'll make a special
trip to check it out.

Flour, water, yeast and salt is hard to screw up. Some manage. But if you
found a brand that is OK, well knock yourself out.

It's always good to have a quick fallback when you need one.

TJs had really good dough at one time - a pound for 99 cents. After a while
it got really bad because they used poor quality flour. My Vons has dough
now. So the idea has caught on.

Wow, man. What a ****ing discovery. You've managed to bypass mixing
up some flour, water, salt and yeast. Rock on, dumb****.

It is great stuff. It's stretchy and quite enjoyable to form into a
crust. My crust is fine too but the Safeway refrigerated pizza dough is
more workable. If I see it on sale for $1.50, I'll get it. $1.50 is my
tipping point. :-)

There's also herb crust and whole wheat varieties too but I don't like
them, they make funny tasting pizza. The whole wheat dough glued itself
to my pan and wouldn't release. I've only bought those one time.

Total BS. It was crap from the beginning.

Thanks! I didn't stand there and stare at the case, so I didn't
notice (or at least I don't remember noticing) the other varieties.
I'll give the herb one a shot because I like focaccia and that would
be a fast way to do it if I liked the final result.

Oh, BTW - I think it was on sale, so you might want to check it out at
your store if you're in one by next Wednesday.

Not where I live. It was quite good and made some dandy pizzas. Then it
became crap.

Impressionistic if nothing else.
