Trader Joe’s has a magical ready-made pizza dough that makes the most delicious home cooked pizzas. I have been making pizza with it since I started shopping at Trader Joe’s over a decade ago, and I have perfected the art of handling their dough. I get asked about it a lot when I am buying at the store, because people are afraid to try cooking with it. It can be very tricky to handle, as some people think it is too sticky to work with, but with a bit of flour and patience you too can be making custom pizzas at home in no time.

My tips for making perfect pizza at home using Trader Joe’s pizza dough are below. And if you’re looking for more inventive ways to dress up your pizza (that your kids will love, too), check out the slideshow for easy and tasty homemade pizza recipes.
