This week I have another "First Impressions" post about one of Pillsbury's new gluten-free offerings. This time I tried the refrigerated pizza dough. I had a hard time finding this one, and the pastry dough as well. I found the cookie dough very early on (about a month ago) but just found the pizza dough this week. Each week I've been longingly glancing at the refrigerated dough section of my local grocery store and finally this week I hit the jackpot!
Again, I'll start off with facts and figures. This tub is 13 oz, a little smaller than the cookie dough tub. The price was $4.99, which is a little higher than the other local grocery store I bought the cookie dough from. It produces an 11" pizza. Again, according to Pillsbury customer service, they consider gluten-free free from gluten ingredients and cross-contact.
To prepare this crust, you press the dough into an 11" disk on a greased pizza pan (I made mine on aluminum foil) and pre-bake it.
After you've pre-baked the crust, go ahead and add your desired toppings. I was inspired by my previous gluten-y favorite pizza by Amy's Kitchen and topped my pizza with pesto, a parmesan cheese blend, tomatoes and broccoli.
Then you pop the pizza back into the oven for a little bit to heat your toppings, melt your cheese, brown the edges, etc. And there you have it, your own personal gluten-free pizza.
As per usual, I split this with my fiancé. He loved it. It may be worth mentioning that he's relatively easy to please, but he enjoyed it nonetheless. To be honest, I was a little disappointed. It absolutely wasn't the worst gluten-free pizza I've had, but I had high expectations after trying their pretty flawless cookie dough and I felt this was just average in taste and texture. I don't want to discourage anyone from trying it, I'm just starting to think pizza is one of those things that may just never be the same. My experience with gluten-free pizza is limited so I'll continue to try new things and see how this compares.
As of now, I have no plans to review the pie and pastry dough by Pillsbury, but let me know if that would be something you'd like to see in the future and I'll whip something up! I hope this was helpful. :)
