Tastes great! I'm not leaving a star rating because my dough did not rise. I'm suspecting yeast needs to be added to the recipe. The dough still worked well for Recipe#263613 - nice flavor and easy to work with. This was a treat for us since we usually wouldn't make a dough with this much oil. Made for Pick a Chef Spring 2008.
