Since the 1951 introduction of refrigerated biscuits, the refrigerated dough revolution has moved ahead with a wonderful variety of products that simplify our baking. These products are amazing time-savers whether you are making a meal, snack or treat. Although each product is special in its own way, in general, they require no kneading or rolling and are very convenient and easy to usejust pop the can, make and bake!

• Over the years, Pillsbury has continued to meet the demand for innovative products and recipes, making our lives easierfavorites include biscuits, crescent rolls, pizza crust, pie crust and cookie dough. Plus, we now include gluten-free refrigerated dough in our product lineup. Look for recipes that use gluten-free pizza crust, gluten-free pie crust and gluten-free cookie dough.
• Nothing beats the aroma and taste of a freshly baked meal or treat from the oven, and with the ease of convenient dough products, its an easy task. For the best results, here are some tips to guide you in the use of refrigerated dough products.
• Store refrigerated dough on a shelf in the refrigerator. Temperatures in the crisper or on the door may be too cold or too warm. Also, keep dough refrigerated until you are ready to use it. After you open the can or package, use it right away because warm dough may be sticky and hard to handle.
• For food safety reasons, any can of refrigerated dough left unrefrigerated for more than two hours should be thrown away.
• Use refrigerated dough by the use-by date on the can or package. Most of the dough products should not be frozen as the dough may darken and will not rise during baking. Exceptions are pie crust and cookie doughthey can both be frozen for up to two months.
• Always preheat the oven before baking with refrigerated dough. This will help prevent the dough from baking unevenly.
• Most recipes made with refrigerated dough are best warm from the oven, but they can easily be stored and reheated. Follow directions in the specific recipe for storage directions, but in general, most main dishes or anything that includes dairy products should be stored in the refrigerator.
