I can hear the knives being sharpened now to go after my juglar (going
after my scalp isn't worth it, not enough hair). I was in the supermarket
the other day, and, as usual, it turned out to be against the laws of God
and Man for me to leave without picking up something that wasn't on my
list. As I was walking past the refrigerated dough case, I saw the premade
Pillsbury pizza dough in the cardboard can and immediately developed a
craving for pizza for lunch. There simply wasn't enough time to make my
own dough in time for lunch, so I picked up the Pillsbury stuff. And it
was good! Browned up beautifully and had a great (IMHO) chew to it. Could
become a go-to item.

Whodathunkit!

I'm always glad to hear an opinion on something like this. I have
wondered about the Pillsbury pizza dough. Thanks

I tried it once. I couldn't get the dough to roll out fer dammit. It
was all shrunken and seemingly too small. I've tried Pillbury's pie
dough and it works, OK, but the pizza dough was a wash.

Sounds pretty good to me, I may have to try it Thanks for sharing.

If it didn't taste good, they wouldn't be selling it.

We are not bread makers in any way here - we buy pizza dough at Whole
Foods and like that. It comes frozen to the store but it's usually
refrigerated by the time we find it there. It seems to keep in our
refrigerator for at least a few days with no problem.

I don't think the rub here is whether or not it tastes good but rather
what's in it and how good for you or not it might be. I trust the WF
pizza dough more which is why I buy it, but honestly, I haven't looked
at an ingredients list for either.

That's the nuttiest idea I've heard today. OTOH, I like nutty ideas and will check it out. Thanks.

Rolled out just fine for me, after I figured out that the seam in the dough
log is damned near invisible. One you find that seam and pick at it, the
dough unrolls.

See my followup to NotBob. The seam was damned near invisible to me, to,
but I finally found it and once I did, it unrolled just fine.

Many people, including both my wives, various other members of my family,
and most of the people I worked for during my career, considered most of my
ideas nutty. But it really did make pretty decent pizza.

I have tried it before. Not my favorite though. I just got some from The
Essential Baking Company. Two bags. And each handled differently. That
was annoying! One dough ball was far more elastic than the other and no
amount of resting would make it stop snapping back on itself. The end
result was a pizza that was slightly smaller and thicker than I intended but
no matter. Husband ate it anyway. And liked it.

I always do a rectangular pizza with that kind of dough.
