Has anyone ever tried Pillsbury Thin Pizza Crust in a tube? What did
you think? I'm thinking "salty". I will assume it's in with the tube
biscuits, but I don't recall seeing it in that area. The reason I ask
is because I found an interesting sandwich recipe that calls for it.

I did. It was just kind of meh. Don't recall it being salty. It is with
the biscuits but not all stores carry it. I had to use their product
locator to find it.

Does it count if I have one on hand? We never know when a hungry grandson
will come by. It seemed that the Pillsbury crust + pizza sauce, an
arrangement of pepperoni and cheese would be welcome. Also, this week, I
tried the Pillsbury French bread tube. That was okay. And, I sliced and
baked some of their sugar cookies. Nothing stellar but good when in a
hurry.

Thanks! That recipe was a simple cheese sandwich grilled on the BBQ.
It was interesting enough to try with my grill pan, but I needed to
know if the pizza crust the blog post said to use as bread passed
muster.

You're a no nonsense, down home food type cook who doesn't give a hoot
if anyone has a problem with your methods (IMO), so I'll give it a try
- thanks again, Polly!

Aha. That might be it then, thanks.

I get the regular Pillsbury pizza crust. It's not my favorite, but it agrees
with my tummy. I tend to use more olive oil on the pizza dough.

I guess you figure you're so old that it makes little difference whether you shove *shit* into your piehole.

What's the matter with you? I'm perfectly capable of making adult

Have you ever tried those bread-in-a-tube products? They're emergency rations,
nothing more. They sustain the body but not the soul.

I used to eat a lot of bread in a tube. It was a fun food and popping
that can open was sometimes scary. I don't eat that stuff no more
because I'm no longer amused by the packaging and it always had a funny
aftertaste to me.

OTOH, what's really tasty, oddly enough, is to get a tube of biscuits,
cut each in half and deep fry in oil. When it's golden brown, dredge the
hot biscuits in sugar or cinnamon and sugar. The kids and adults will
really dig it. Just don't tell 'em what it is.

I think it just tastes like one of their biscuit tubes flattened. I
don't like it. However, I do like the packaged crescent rolls flattened
and cooked, the covered with ranch dressing and veggies.

Just to point out, personal opinion only, but making pizza dough and
then pizza from scratch is not at all a difficult process, and the
end product has got to be better than anything you'd make with a
dough that comes out of a cardboard tube. Yes, it takes more time.
Yes, you have to plan ahead. But it's worth it if you can take the
time.

I also don't try to fit the dough to a pan. I hand stretch it, and
if it comes out more free-form than circular, well, they're charging
extra in pizza restaurants these days for "rustic" pizza, so you're
just ahead of the curve. Use a pizza stone at 500 degrees, and
invest in a wooden peel and a box of corn meal. Just like in the
old country (which, for me, is the North End in Bahstun...).

No, it's not. This recipe for a thin crust works great, is easy,
quick, and works even at 8000 ft.:

What do you use for fuel at that altitude? How far down the mountain is your
well?

That's disappointing!

I walked down memory lane recently with tubed crescent rolls, not
taking that path again. Ugh!

Thanks for the insight, if I make that sandwich recipe, I'll make my
own pizza dough and take from there. Now that I think about it, I
guess they were attempting a thin (aka lower carb) sandwich on faux
focaccia bread.

Just to point out to you and allan... I make pizza dough quite often
and am completely competent at it. I also am not adverse to trying
new products because some of them are surprisingly good and so close
to what I make, I've put the recipe away and just buy commercial if I
want it. B&M Baked beans are a case in point and fresh salsa from the
deli refrigerator section is another.

Oh, wait -- did you mean it tastes like what's inside the tube,
flattened? Or the tube itself, flattened? I think I agree either way.
