Christmas Pizza?

Well, it’s kinda shaped like a candy cane, isn’t it?

From Bread

I thought I’d give Pillsbury’s Pizza Crust chilled dough a try, since I never have. That turned out to be a mistake. I think this could have been avoided if I’d let the dough warm to room temperature before I tried to form it into a rectangle, but Pillsbury’s FAQs say “Keep dough refrigerated until just before baking. Warm dough may be sticky and hard to handle.” Whatever. When I tried to stretch it it tore holes in places, so I gave up and left it as is after that.

It still tasted great, but I’ll never try that again. It’s not that hard to make a dough in the bread machine, and it’s cheaper as well. This was an experiment which failed.

PS: That little pile of stuff in the right corner is baked cornmeal. I brush the pan with olive oil and sprinkle it with cornmeal to keep it from sticking. It washes right off. In this case all my pushing and hauling on the dough moved it out from under the pie.
