This recipe is from Pillsbury Family Kitchens Cookbook. This is really delicous and makes a nice presentation. The dough is really easy to work with. I did need to add a couple more Tbsps of flour to the dough. This calls for a 12-inch pizza pan, but I'm sure a large cookie sheet would work just fine. :)

3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup margarine or 1/4 cup butter
2 3/4-3 cups flour
