How to Hack Store-Bought Pizza Dough Into Amazing Easy Dinners
These easy store-bought pizza dough recipe hacks will make you look like a genius (and a hero) in the kitchen.
You know those little balls of fresh pizza dough you can pick up in the refrigerator case at nearly every supermarket these days (glory be)? Well, they’re obviously a great shortcut to homemade pizza, but they can also be hacked and turned into many other marvelous easy weeknight dinners, party-ready appetizers, and simple snacks.
Which is a good thing, because while everybody loves pizza, after your 100th large pepperoni with extra cheese it can get a little boring. To shake things up, former Chowhound photographer Chris Rochelle reached out to our Chowhound community to discover the mind-blowing things that are possible with a pound of store-bought pizza dough (we got ours from a Whole Foods in San Francisco) and a little imagination. Part one: six savory manipulations. Part two: Turning Store-Bought Pizza Dough Into Sweet Treats!
Monkey Dough (Pizza Dough Monkey Bread)
Monkey bread may bring to mind sweet, sticky, cinnamon-sugar dusted dough balls, but it can also go savory—and can be made with zero stress if you use store-bought pizza dough. Simply cut the dough ball into smaller pieces and let them proof (that gives you time to unwind from work, declutter the house if you’re having guests, or help the kids with homework), then arrange them in an oven-safe bowl with the savory additions of your choice—cheese, certainly, but the rest is up to you; we went simple with jalapeño slices, but you could add other veggies, meat, and even sauce (though it’ll make for messier eating). Bake until brown and bubbling and serve with marinara sauce for dipping. This will definitely be MVP at any tailgating party, but will also win over picky kids at dinnertime. Get our Pizza Dough Monkey Bread recipe.
Nordic Ware Pro Form Bakeware Nonstick Aluminum Bundt Pan, $12.43 at Walmart
You can also build your monkey bread in a Bundt pan.
Dough-Zonees (Pizza Dough Calzones)
Calzones are like the original (and actually respectable) Hot Pockets, and they couldn’t be easier when you use a ball of store-bought pizza dough. Simply portion it up, roll it out, and layer on cheese and toppings (we used ham and sliced jalapeños with mozzarella, but you can go with whatever you like: pineapple and pepperoni with cheddar; leftover roasted veggies and pesto with goat cheese; grainy mustard and thinly sliced apples with smoked gouda for fall; even dairy-free sun-dried tomatoes, olives, and oil-packed tuna). Fold the dough packets over and seal the edges, then bake for about 15 minutes. Add a green salad and give yourself a pat on the back for pulling off such an aburdly easy and delicious dinner. Get our Pizza Dough Calzone recipe.

Garlic Pizza Dough Knots
Need an easy appetizer that looks totally impressive? Store-bought pizza dough to the rescue (again)! Roll it out, cut it into strips, then tie each piece into a knot. Bake them for 20 minutes, then brush them with melted butter generously mixed with garlic and parsley as soon as they come out of the oven. Marinara sauce on the side is a must for dipping. Get our Garlic Pizza Dough Knot recipe.
Rao's Homemade All Natural Marinara Sauce, $6.24 at Walmart
You don't need to tell if you use a (good) store-bought sauce either.
Dough-Gnocchi (Pizza Dough Gnocchi)
This might just be our favorite unconventional use for pizza dough: pinch off little pieces, roll them into tapered gnocchi, and cook them like you would pasta, then sauce them as you like. We went with classic marinara and parmesan, but there’s really no wrong move here, whether you go green with a pesto sauce or get rich with something creamy like alfredo—or just toss them with oil, herbs, and roasted veggies (like some burst cherry tomatoes, sweet corn kernels, and spicy basil while they’re still in season). Get our Pizza Dough Gnocchi recipe.
Dough Dogs (Pizza Dough Pigs in a Blanket)
Pigs in a blanket get a nice twist with store-bought pizza dough wraps (needless to say, go with high-quality kosher dogs here, and don’t dip them in ketchup…unless you really want to). You can also try this trick with fully cooked sausage or pepperoni sticks (in which case, you know what to serve on the side for dipping). Get our Pizza Dough Pigs in a Blanket recipe.
Strom-Dough-Li (Pizza Dough Stromboli)
Looking at this, you might be wondering: What is the difference between stromboli and calzones? Mostly, it’s the shape of the dough packet (stromboli being more of a long log). But both are equally easy to make with store-bought pizza dough, and just as with calzones, you can play around with the fillings here however you want. Get our Pizza Dough Stromboli recipe.

The Friday Buzz: Souper Cubes, Chocolate Sesame Milk, and Cotton Candy Grapes
Welcome to The Friday Buzz, our roundup of all good things, good advice, good feelings. It’s the happy hour of blog posts! Up this fabulous week: Souper Cubes, Chocolate Sesame Milk, Cotton Candy Grapes and so, so, so much more!
Fall is literally knocking at our door right now and I’m so excited! The cooler weather, the scents of spices and apples, and the vibrant colors… I’m just a little excited, can you tell?
With the change in weather came a change in schedules. School started this past week and it’s been glorious. While I love the freedom summer brings, the last two weeks of summer vacation is pretty darn rough. There was one day where my twins sat on the counter and literally ate whipped cream from the jar I made it in, just so I could put away the groceries in peace. Meanwhile my three other girls were baking brownies, making lemonade for the lemonade stand, and the dog was at everyone’s heels trying to get in all the action. Did I mention the laundry timer went off and my weekly batch of yogurt needed attending to? It was the very definition of chaos! Believe me when I say I’m ever so grateful for new routines, a fresh change of pace, and a chance to have a few quiet moments to myself!
And on a completely unrelated note… let’s bring on The Simply Recipes Team faves!
OUR FAVORITES FROM THE WEEK
- Souper Handy: With soup season upon us, Megan showed us these Souper Cubes for freezing food in perfect portions. Like, whoa.
- It’s tea time! Andy has been enjoying Taro Bubble Tea as a little afternoon pick-me-up!
- No dairy? No problem! Carrie has been digging this chocolate sesame milk. It’s not too sweet, and has some good plant-based protein.
- Spring into fall! If you need something to help with the transition into fall, Emma recommends diving into this sensational salad from Bon Appétit.
- The art of noodles… If there’s one thing you do today, please watch this beautiful video about handmade noodles. It was breathtaking to watch. Serious Eats also has some serious info on soba noodles!
- Cotton Candy Grapes: Ever had them? They come out during select times of the year and I literally bought 6 bags, which were devoured in less than 24 hours by my family.
MEANWHILE ON INSTAGRAM
There seems to be some buzz around freezing leftover wine. Lots of readers are wondering how in the world there could even BE leftover wine? Tell us your thoughts here.
READER COMMENT OF THE WEEK
Marilyn is now truly converted to the idea of chocolate + bananas. She left this comment on our Chocolate Banana Bread:
I always thought the idea of bananas and chocolate was gross until I tried this recipe for my grandson. I’m a convert! This bread is almost cake-like, super moist, yet light. Nice balance between chocolate and banana flavors. I followed the recipe as written, but only needed 55 min bake time. Will definitely make this again.
Cheers to chocolate and cheers to September!
