All Pillsbury refrigerated doughs start with enriched wheat flour. Each recipe is then tailored to achieve the perfect flavor and texture, as well as a stable shelf life. Pillsbury has several products with no high fructose corn syrup, and no colors from artificial sources. Check the ingredient panel on the package to confirm the exact ingredients for a specific item.
Crescent Rolls are a refrigerated dough that bakes into buttery, flaky rolls for breakfast, dinner sides, and filled recipes. Cookie Dough is a pre-portioned refrigerated dough that bakes into chocolate chip and other cookies, and is safe to eat raw. Pizza Crust is a fresh refrigerated dough you unroll, shape, and bake into a homemade pizza in about 20 minutes. All three are unbaked refrigerated doughs built for home baking without the prep work.
Pillsbury Crescent Rolls, Cookie Dough, and Pizza Crust do not contain high fructose corn syrup. Other items in the Pillsbury line vary. Pillsbury occasionally updates recipes, so check the ingredient panel on the package to confirm ingredients.
Pillsbury was founded in 1869, when Charles A. Pillsbury bought a share in a Minneapolis flour mill and a legend was born. Through the years, Pillsbury has gone through many changes, such as introducing the Pillsbury Doughboy in 1965, but one thing remains the same: our love for helping families make memories through food. Today, the lineup includes refrigerated crescent rolls, biscuits, cinnamon rolls, cookie dough, and pie crust, all built around home-baked results without the prep work.
No. Pillsbury Original Crescent Rolls contain no high fructose corn syrup and no artificial colors. The only colors used in the dough are beta carotene and annatto extract, both from natural sources. Pillsbury has updated the Crescent Rolls recipe over time to remove high fructose corn syrup and artificial colors across the Original line.
No. Pillsbury Original Crescent Rolls do not contain real butter. The dough uses vegetable shortening (soybean oil, hydrogenated palm oil, and fractionated palm oil) to create the layered, flaky texture the Original variety is known for.
The dough starts with enriched bleached wheat flour and vegetable shortening (soybean oil, hydrogenated palm oil, fractionated palm oil), which create the layered, flaky texture. Dough conditioners (such as L-cysteine hydrochloride and enzymes) aid in the rolling and forming of the dough, and food-grade preservatives and antioxidants (TBHQ, citric acid, and potassium sorbate) are used to keep the dough fresh through the refrigerated shelf life (or use-by date). All ingredients are used at approved low levels. The full ingredient list is on the can.
Pop the can, unroll the dough, separate it into triangles, roll up each triangle starting at the wide end, place on an ungreased baking sheet, and curve into a crescent shape. Bake at 375°F for 10 to 13 minutes, or until golden brown. The dough needs no mixing, no measuring, and no proofing. Keep it refrigerated until ready to use.
Pillsbury Crescent Rolls can be a delicious part of breakfast, lunch, dinner, or dessert. Bake them plain as a dinner side, brunch staple, or holiday table roll. Use the unbaked triangles as a wrapper for filled recipes like Pepperoni Pizza Crescent Rolls, Ham and Cheese Crescent Rolls, Cheesy Chicken Bacon Ranch Crescent Rolls, or Pigs in a Blanket. Or use them as a base for sweet recipes like cinnamon-sugar crescents and fruit-filled crescents. The dough holds up well to filling, wrapping, and shaping.
Pillsbury Crescent Rolls have been on family tables for generations and show up at weeknight dinners, Sunday brunches, and holiday spreads. With more rise, more distinct flaky layers, and golden- browning, while keeping the familiar buttery taste and warm, aroma families remember. Now, flakier than prior recipe! The 4-count can is a smaller option for trying new recipes or for smaller households; the 8-count and 16 oz 2-pack are also available.
No. Pillsbury Ready to Bake Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough contains no high fructose corn syrup and no colors from artificial sources. The sweetness comes from sugar and molasses. Pillsbury has updated its cookie dough recipes over time to remove high fructose corn syrup and artificial colors across some of the bake lines.
Yes. Pillsbury Ready to Bake Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough is made with real chocolate, not chocolate-flavored coating. The chocolate chips contain chocolate liquor and cocoa butter, the foundational ingredients in real chocolate, along with sugar and soy lecithin.
Enriched Flour Bleached (wheat flour, niacin, iron, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), Sugar, Chocolate Chips (sugar, chocolate liquor, cocoa butter, soy lecithin, natural flavor), Palm Oil, Water. Contains 2% or less of: Molasses, Eggs, Baking Powder (baking soda, sodium aluminum phosphate), Salt, Artificial Flavor. Always check the allergen statement on the packaging.
Yes. Pillsbury Ready to Bake Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough is safe to eat raw, shown by the “safe to eat raw” seal on the package. This applies whether the dough is eaten from the refrigerator or used in no-bake recipes like cookie dough bites or ice cream mix-ins. Raw cookie dough that is not specifically labeled safe to eat raw should not be eaten, since standard recipes use raw flour and raw eggs.
Bake at 350°F for 15 to 19 minutes (or 325°F for nonstick cookie sheets), until edges are light golden brown. If baking from frozen, add 2 to 3 minutes to the bake time. Ensure the cookie dough rounds are about 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet to prevent the cookies from combining in the oven. Cool the cookies for 3 minutes on the sheet before removing.
The 16 oz package makes 12 Big Cookies, with one cookie per serving at 170 calories. Pre-portioned rounds remove the need for measuring or scooping. The cookie dough also comes in a 16 oz 24-count package, a 30 oz Value Size that makes about 30 cookies, and a 4.75lb tub that makes 76 cookies. Be sure to confirm current pack sizes against packaging!
Pillsbury Classic Pizza Crust has a mild, neutral flavor with about 4g of added sugars per serving. The added sugars come from sugar and dextrose, not high fructose corn syrup. The crust is designed as a savory base that lets sauce, cheese, and toppings carry the pizza rather than competing with them. For a thinner bite, check out Pillsbury Thin and Crispy variety.
No. Pillsbury Classic Pizza Crust contains no high fructose corn syrup. The added sugars in the dough (about 4g per serving) come from sugar and dextrose. The full ingredient list, including the flour, leavening, and oils used, is on the can.
Pillsbury Pizza Crust contains hydrogenated vegetable oil (soybean, palm, and/or cottonseed), vital wheat gluten, and mono and diglycerides as functional ingredients. They give the dough its structure and texture, let it unroll and shape without tearing, and allow a high-quality experience through shelf-life (or use-by date). Pillsbury Pizza Crust is a convenience-first product, offering speed for a fast, home-baked meal and shelf stability.
A complete home-baked pizza is on the table in about 20 minutes from a cold start. Heat the oven to 400°F and grease a nonstick cookie sheet (heat to 425°F for pans other than a nonstick cookie sheet). Unroll the dough on the sheet and form it to the thickness and shape you want. Prebake for 8 minutes, add your toppings, then bake another 6 to 10 minutes, until the crust is dark golden brown. The dough comes refrigerated and ready to use, with no mixing, no proofing, and no measuring.
Roll the dough thinner for a crispier crust, or leave it thicker for a chewier, breadier crust. The dough rises in the oven to create airy pockets. For more crispness, use a preheated pizza stone or heat the cookie sheet before placing the pizza dough on it. You can shape the dough into a round, square, or rectangular pizza to fit any pan.
Beyond traditional pizza, use Pillsbury Pizza Crust for calzones, stromboli, breadsticks, garlic knots, savory tarts, flatbreads, and Hispanic-inspired pizza variations, plus sweet treats like dessert pizzas. The line includes Classic Pizza Crust (13.8 oz, makes one full pizza), Thin and Crispy Pizza Crust (8 oz, for thinner, crispier styles), and Classic Mini Pizza Crusts (16.3oz, pre-portioned for 8 individual mini pizzas).
