Refrigerated pizza dough

Mild and yeasty raw, turning into a chewy, slightly tangy crust once baked.

Lens analyzed

Refrigerated pizza dough is raw, pre-mixed and risen dough sold in a tube or bag, ready to stretch and top rather than mixed from scratch. It skips proofing yeast and kneading, though it still needs to reach room temperature before it stretches easily. Some versions are plain while others come pre-seasoned with garlic or herbs.

Where it comes from

Pizza dough itself follows centuries of Italian bread-baking tradition, while the refrigerated, ready-to-use tube format is a modern North American grocery convenience product developed to speed up homemade pizza on a weeknight. It sits alongside other refrigerated biscuit and crescent roll doughs in the same store section.

Buying it

Check the use-by date closely, since this dough is a live, fermenting product rather than a shelf-stable one. Let it sit at room temperature for the time listed on the package before stretching, or it will spring back and tear.

Storing it

Keep pizza dough refrigerated until you're ready to use it, where it stays good for about five days from the printed date.

Keeps about 5 days in the fridge.
