Pizza Dough (With No Yeast)

_Ally_'s Note:

I like this recipe because it's simple and uses ingredients I always have on hand. I got it from my dad, I can't say for sure where it originally came from, but maybe from a Betty Crocker cookbook. This dough also works well for making meat pies.

i was so disappointed with this crust that i joined the site just to review it. there were so many great reviews, but, as with Chef #771965, i was totally bummed out with the consistency of the finished product. the dough stretched out nicely and i thought i was going to get a great thin crust pie, but it turned out grainy, salty and dry instead of crispy and bready. i wasted some high-quality (and expensive!) toppings, so my frugality will force me to eat it against my better judgement. i recommend that future foodies don't waste your time, though. back to boboli for me if i'm pressed for time!

I don't know what I could have done wrong with this one.I was able to roll it and the consistency was good but after cooking it the flavor and consistency I was expecting were just not there.

I have to say it tasted like biscuits. It was edible, but not at all what I expected.
