  • How does this compare to Pizza Hut? This makes a great pizza crust. As of 5/9/24, it is 100% five stars with 54 reviews, with some reviewers saying it is "best ever."
  • Is it easy to make? Yes. It comes with easy-to-follow instructions.
  • What about the yeast? It comes with a SAF yeast packet.
  • Can I mix the dough in my bread machine? Yes. Set it on the dough setting, setting 8 with most machines. Load the dough into a large 15-inch pizza pan for a regular thick-crust pizza, and let it rise.
  • I don't have a bread machine. Can I use my stand-type mixer? Yes. Use the dough hook and 110-degree water and let it run on medium-high for a few minutes or until the dough gets stretchy.
  • Will it make a large pizza? Actually, it will make two if you prefer thin-crust pizzas.  
  • Can I make it on the grill? Yes, if your grill has a cover to trap the heat. Grills are great and quick for flatbreads. (see instructions below.)
  • Can I make breadsticks? Yep, roll the dough out, cut it into strips, put it on a baking sheet, season it, let it rise, and bake.
  • Can I make thin-crust pizzas? Yes. (See below.)
  • What about "springback. That makes it hard to make a pizza. The springback is minimal. There is a dough relaxer in the mix.
  • Do you use a pizza roller? I do, yes. It makes it easier to get it thin and work the edges. We sell pizza rollers.
  • What about calzones? It's perfect for calzones.
  • Can I make two smaller pizzas and freeze one? Yes, put it on a sheet of cardboard to keep it rigid, load it with goodies, wrap it in plastic, and freeze it. Let it thaw for ten minutes before you bake it.
  • Do I reheat leftovers in the oven? You can. However, my family prefers an air fryer. It makes the pizza taste like new again.

This pizza dough mix beats delivery! It's made your way--thin crust or thick and exactly with the toppings you want. The homemade pizza dough crust is better. The ingredients are fresh. Nobody will care for your pizza the way you do.

    "The Classic Italian Pizza Dough mix is delicious! I always make my own pizza crust so I had my doubts that a mix could be very good but this mix is so easy and fast and it tastes so good!! I had to purchase more right away so I will never be without it!"  Shelly Hepp

    Loving the prepackaged and measured bread mixes. I got tired of doing it all myself, so I tried prepared pantry. Yummy options. With long shelf life pre baking. Very nice results.

    Perfect pizza crust

    We have been making homemade pizza for years every Christmas eve. I usually used a family recipe. This year, I thought I would try something different. My family has loved everything we tried from Prepared Pantry and now this pizza dough will be a staple in our pantry also! It makes a wonderful crust and very easy to handle!
