I used 2 cans of Pizza Dough when I made this recipe last Friday for my open house. I literally laid the doughs on the stone side by side and pressed the center seam. I had very little dough leftover. It was SO good....even my kids and ALL the neighborhood kids liked it!!!
I will totally use it for demos this season!

Me TOO:D :D As a Veteran myself I often still use the accronyms.

Funny story when I was in Basic Training I would call home a tell my mom that I was doing great and that I passed another PT test with flying colors.


Well............
when I came home on leave Mom asked " Why do you have to take all those Pregnancy Tests I was like WHAT? and then it dawned on me that she was referring to our Weekly PT TEST. Had to laugh my hiny off on that one:D
 
I just made this for a brunch yesterday and everyone enjoyed it, even though I had to make it on the round stone (broke my large bar pan at a show this week) :( but 2 cans for 1 round is too much, I just pinched them together and made a thicker crust around the edges. Tastey pizza!
 
Yes, have made it a few times! Here's my opinions...

1. Two cans is good, but cut off the extra, 1 seems to few with the weight of all the toppings.

2. I prefer to bake chicken breasts the night before - no seasoning needed - just 375-400 for an hour. When refrigerated overnight they are very easy to cut into tiny pieces for the pizza the next day. With the recall on precooked chicken, it made my guests more at ease.

3. I liked it with Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce over other brands I've tried with it.

4. Cut your green onions first in your demo or in your prep. They look very nice on the pizza after soaking in water and curling.

5. Large can of pineapple was fine - tasted fine - just be sure to drain it well or you can get a soggy crust.

6. If you forget to put the BBQ sauce on your pizza before it goes in the oven, it is fine to put it on after (I accidentally did this at my first cooking show - after brushing the crust with garlic and oil I forgot I needed the BBQ sauce before baking. No one knew any different!

7. I think the new garlic oil would taste good, but I love a chance to demo the garlic press!
 
Loved it!! This worked great for my open house today. Yummy!
 
For anyone near a Jewel store....the pizza crust is on sale for $1 a can this week as opposed to $3.15 regular price. My can also had a coupon for 50cents off 2, so I bought six. :)

Jewel is owned by Albertson's, so maybe they have it on sale too.

pic postedHello all,
I also have made this pizza and I used only one crust but it filled the pan well. it looked just like the pizza in the catalog. I only had pineapple chunks, and i chopped with the chopper and it worked great. imo 1 can of crust was enough. hope that helps.
 
At our regional meeting in February, we had a live demo and he prepared the BBQ Chicken pizza. He used two rolls of crust and had a some left over so he put in cheese sticks, rolled the dough over the cheese and had a cheese stuffed crust. I think he said he used a 12 pack. He used 10 and had 2 left over to snack on.

I don't know about the Aloha pizza, but I would imagine it would work for it also.
 
We made the pizza twice last week and LOVED the thin crust and the thick was good (we did the same thing stuffed the crust with cheese sticks YUM) but we crushed up all the stuff and cooked it all on and it was almost too sweet for me so next time I will leave at least the bell pepper off for topping afterwards but I liked the pineapple cooked on. LOL

PS I only crushed it all because I have toddlers and didn't want them to pick only certain things off.
 
I have a show at a bar next weekend... she doesn't have an oven and only a small micro. Do you guys think I could bake the crust ahead of time and add everything else just spread on top??
 
When I made this pizza for our "date night" I used my Rectangle Stone. (I don't have the Bar Pan.) It came out great! The only thing that I will do differently in demos is use pineapple chunks instead of "crushed" (only thing I had in the pantry). I think the chunks will make it a lot more flavorful. Great recipe.

Gillian- I am not sure if I would do that. It tastes a million times better being HOT. Not sure if I would go with that.
 
I've made it and it is MUCH better hot or warm. We enjoyed it a lot!;)
