How people cook with it
This pizza dough is a versatile foundation for countless homemade pizzas. It simplifies the process of creating your favorite pies.
- Quick weeknight dinners
- Party appetizers
- Family pizza nights

Begin by allowing the dough to come to room temperature as per package instructions, which usually takes about 15-30 minutes. This makes it more pliable and easier to stretch. Lightly flour your work surface and your hands. Gently press and stretch the dough from the center outwards, rotating it as you go, to achieve your desired thickness and shape. Avoid overworking the dough. Place the stretched dough onto a baking sheet or pizza peel dusted with cornmeal or flour, add your favorite sauce and toppings, and bake according to your recipe's instructions.

How to keep the rest
