Love this dough, I used it for a breakfast dish. I filled the crust with scrambled eggs, ham and cheese, and baked at 350 degrees, the family went wild for it. I also added sun dried tomatoes to the dough, made it just delish! will use this again.

Got 2 pizzas out of this (2-12.5 " ) I like thinner crusts. Taste was great! I grill my pizzas...put on top shelf with all ingredients ( about 10-15 min) then to bottom shelf...about 10 min. Love this crust. Will use again.

Wonderful tasting, herby crust. If you're searching for a gourmet pizza crust, this is it.
