Now you can buy the seamless roll of crescent roll dough which also works very well. However, I often double it because it is rather thin and I sometimes have trouble with the fillings poking through! But it is very yummy with crescent dough and any kinds of fillings!<\/p>","CommentId":8,"DateRated":"03\/02\/2012 14:54","GUID":"d74934166fbd45e98c2bc39173bb08f2","MemberId":5616182,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"SHOK","SubmittedDate":"03\/02\/2012 14:54"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":9,"DateRated":"10\/31\/2011 13:52","GUID":"9a0ddb824bbc4496b5ba5f9e1331c214","MemberId":4645500,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"big_chief82","SubmittedDate":"10\/31\/2011 13:52"},{"Comment":"
My kids loved this! It is a very versatile recipe. Next time I might try adding garlic powder and even pizza sauce.

Fast easy and delicious. My only problem was trying to roll out the refrigerated french bread. Either I got the wrong kind or there is an unknown trick. Mine wouldn't roll out hardly at all and was maybe 3" x 12" I made it work though and loved it.<\/p>","CommentId":11,"DateRated":"09\/22\/2011 17:01","GUID":"0fe46f976b454620be8b983a290fea07","MemberId":5767100,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"hbaldwin82308","SubmittedDate":"09\/22\/2011 17:01"},{"Comment":"

This was very good and simple to make. The only problem I had was that the French loaf dough was simply not enough to spread out. After growing frustrated with that, I substituted refrigerated pizza dough instead. That worked splendidly! The next time I make it, I think I will sprinkle the top with garlic salt as well. It was very good and simple. I will definitely make it again!<\/p>","CommentId":13,"DateRated":"08\/03\/2011 06:11","GUID":"9ac578dc63ee416490d0806c7a5ce06b","MemberId":6001500,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"newcountrywife","SubmittedDate":"08\/03\/2011 06:11"},{"Comment":"
It was very good but couldn't taste the pimentos, do maybe olives the next time. Didn't get the dough rolled out enough for a 14x12 rectangle but it was still delicious!<\/p>","CommentId":14,"DateRated":"07\/30\/2011 22:41","GUID":"668fec749cf34ec2bac7de7a8902695c","MemberId":5241575,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"target36","SubmittedDate":"07\/30\/2011 22:41"},{"Comment":"
This was DELICIOUS!! My husband, 3 yo daughter, and Mother In Law gobbled it up!! We dipped in ramekins of ranch dressing and had the candy bar salad (suggested pairing from AUG-Sept 2011 mag) and fresh vegetables to dip in the ranch as well! Yummy!
