I don't know - haven't seen it in decades... but I've heard of yeast
dough that isn't proofed and doesn't rise. What are the directions?
It has to call for hot water if it has yeast and I don't remember
doing that when I was a kid. Who knows? It was a long time ago and I
didn't have anything to compare it to. I just knew I liked it and my
love affair with pizza has continued to this day although I've refined
what I want from it.

The only lunches at my elementary school were in our lunch boxes and
nobody ever got pizza.
