Comple eat Pizza Dough


 

I had the chance to try out Comple eat Pizza Dough.

It tastes very good, light and flakey. I had made a Hawaiian Pizza with the crust.
It was so yummy, I could not get enough of it. But I didn't over endulge.

Compl eat Pizza Dough is Wheat-Free, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Casein-Free, Nut-Free, Corn-Free and Soy-Free. It is Ready to Go: Simply roll out and Bake. It can be stored in the freezer until you are ready to use it.

Compl eat pizza dough is made locally in Vancouver, Wa. You can e-mail the company at compleat@live.com

The Pizza Dough can be purchased at Lingonberries Market in Vancouver, Wa.

Thank-you Lingonberries Market for the wonderful opportunity of trying out this wonderful product.
