Ok, so I had a host who wanted an appetizer that kids would like and found this one through consultant's corner. Well, you're supposed to ROLL the pizza dough. Let me just tell you, there's a reason pizza places don't roll pizza dough! I don't know how they expect you to do that! It took me an hour to make them today at my show! Has anyone else made them and been successful?!
 
Was your dough room temp or cold?? And was the dough the pre-made pizza crust or home-made, etc? I've never had a problem with rolling out the dough as long as it's cold when it's the type in the can. If it gets the least bit "not straight from the fridge cold" then it's a bear to work with. I've never made these, but have worked with pizza dough a lot. Oh, and using some EVOO or other oil on top of the crust makes it easier to roll out too.
 
This is whay it is imperitive to try new recipes at home first. Not every PC recipe is a good show recipe. I wish the bakers roller was still in the starter kit.

I practiced all the other recipes at home first but this was a last minute decision for her to add on. One was straight out of the fridge, one was straight from the store so it had gotten a little less cold on the drive there.
 
I agree that the dough was too cold. Pizza dough must be room temperature to work properly.
