Pillsbury LET THE MAKING BEGIN^™

For best quality, use refrigerated dough before the “use-by” date on the package.

Store dough cans on a shelf in the refrigerator. Temperatures in the refrigerator’s door shelves or crisper may be too warm or too cold. Keep dough refrigerated until just before baking. Warm dough may be sticky and hard to handle.

Cans of dough that are left unrefrigerated for more than two hours should be discarded.

Opening the can of dough activates the leavening that causes the dough to rise. After the can is open, the dough can be covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated for up to two hours before baking. After two hours, the dough will begin to deteriorate.

Yes! For best results, use within one month after freezing.

Nope.  The uneven heat of a microwave prevents the dough from browning and baking through.

No, we don't recommend it. A toaster oven’s small size often results in uneven heating, and the dough can burn.

Yep, preheat the oven for 10 minutes before baking. This important step will help prevent the product from baking unevenly.

You don't have to prebake the crust.  However, prebaking will result in a crisper crust. Prebake the untopped crust at 400°F. for 7 minutes. Top with toppings. Bake at 400 degrees F. for 6 to 11 minutes more until the crust is light golden brown.

It depends on the type of stone. We do not recommend using a pizza or baking stone that requires preheating before the assembled pizza is placed on it. The unbaked crust is too soft to lift once the toppings have been added. Pizza crust may be baked on a stone that does not require preheating. Follow the directions that came with the stone for baking time and temperature.

Nope, freezing unbaked dough may prevent it from rising once it is baked.

It's simple:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees F.
  
  
• Unroll dough and press in bottom and one inch up the sides of a greased 13x9-inch pan.
  
  
• Place seven sticks of string cheese along the inside edges of the dough. Fold dough around the cheese and press to seal.
  
  
• Top with desired ingredients.
  
  
• Bake at 425 degrees F. for 15 to 18 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and cheese is melted.
