    Pillsbury Gluten Free Dough – Cookie, Pie, Pizza (DISCONTINUED)

    16
    By Alisa Fleming on October 22, 2013 Discontinued Products, Product Reviews

    It was an innovative concept, gluten-free dough for various baking needs. But the demand just wasn’t big enough. Pillsbury Gluten Free Dough was discontinued. For other gluten-free cookie dough options, see our Dairy-Free Cookie Dough Reviews. For pizza and pie crusts, see our Dairy-Free Baking Mix Reviews.

    You know a diet has hit the mainstream when big guys like General Mills are jumping into the market. Gluten-free has unofficially become a household term – yes, a lot due to “fad” but it is a mixed blessing for those who have Celiac. Yes, many misunderstandings develop, but the increased demand allows more companies to emerge with suitable products, like the new line of Pillsbury Gluten Free Dough.

    Pillsbury Gluten Free Dough Anticipated FAQs

    Pillsbury Gluten Free Dough BoyI’m going out on a limb here, but these are some of the questions that I think many of you will have…

    Is it certified gluten free? Yes, to the best of my knowledge. The packages that I had did not have the certification label on them, but I confirmed twice with the company that they are certified by the Celiac Disease Foundation.

    Are they dairy free? Definitely! Otherwise they wouldn’t be on this website! All three varieties are sans dairy ingredients. That said, they do not appear to be safe for severe milk allergies. They are kosher OU-D, not because they have dairy ingredients, but because dairy is present in the facility or on the lines. Contact the company about the processes where severe milk allergies are a concern. Equipment is typically washed thorough between food production batches, but you just never know!

    What about other allergies and special diets? They all contain soy (soybean oil) and the pizza and cookie dough contain eggs. I would contact the company where nut and other severe allergies are a concern, as I don’t know their policies.

    Are they certified organic or non-GMO verified? To be clear, these are not healthy items by any means. The ingredients do not tout any type of virtuous ingredients and beyond kosher and gluten-free, I didn’t see any certifications on these babies. They are simply an indulgence to be enjoyed occasionally, if it suits your diet.

    How do they taste and perform? Read on…

    Tasting Notes for Pillsbury Gluten Free Dough

    Chocolate Chip Cookie Gluten Free Dough

    This dough makes amazing cookies. I’ve never been one to buy premade dough, since most contain dairy, but wow, this was almost too easy. Everyone loved them – the gluten-free husband, dairy-free me, and our niece, who can eat both gluten and dairy. In fact, I think she was the biggest fan, asking again and again if she could have just one more of these tender, chewy cookies. Need to prepare for a party in a hurry and have a gluten-free guest coming? Surprise them with these and hope that the rest of your guests don’t devour them first!

    Pie and Pastry Gluten Free Dough

    I didn’t expect this dough to exceed the cookies, but it did make a happy camper out of my pie-loving, gluten-free husband. When made straight from the refrigerator, it comes out slightly greasy and crumbly, but we froze some mini pies with this crust and they baked up beautifully! My husband’s favorite gluten-free pie crust still lies with another mix (and I prefer the other one since it doesn’t contain hydrogenated oil), but for ease, this one wins hands down.

    Thin Crust Pizza Dough

    We make our own dough at home often, including a gluten-free one that our whole household loves. I liked the idea of a ready made dough that required only rolling (I’m not a fan of the mixes as it only takes a few seconds more to measure the flours out myself!), but alas, this wasn’t the dough for us. It had a very strong, strange smell that was noticeable even after baking. Even when rolled thinner than required, it puffed up a good bit, and the resultant texture wasn’t our favorite.

    But hey, two out of three isn’t bad – and I’ve had repeated requests for those chocolate chip cookies.

    The Facts on Pillsbury Gluten Free Dough

    Dietary Notes: By ingredients, Pillsbury Gluten Free Dough vegetarian, dairy-free, gluten-free, peanut-free, and tree nut-free. Nonetheless, check with the company on their manufacturing processes for all varieties if potential allergen cross-contamination is an issue for you. Processes and labeling are subject to change at any time for any company / product.

      Do you know if Pillsbury is still making the pie and pastry crust dough? I have not been able to find it for a while.

        I saw it just a few months ago in stores, but I’m only seeing the mixes on their site. I think they may have discontinued these.

      I have a two year old granddaughter that was diagnosed with cealiac disease six month’s ago. My daughter’s husband is unable to deal with her disease so my daughter, her daughter and son had to move back home from va. To Alabama for me to buy and make gluten free meals. I just want to Thank you for the gluten free products. Please, please for my sake keep making these products! They are woo good
      I was missing a good old fashioned apple pie until I found your pie dough. That pie was gone the same day.But I willsoon make another.

      I find that the pillsbury gf dough wasn’t very good. The dough would break VERY easily, and there was no making a pie with it. I highly recommend Pamela;s products for all you GF baking needs.

      Can you share your favorite GF pie crust mix? My husband loves pies but I haven’t found a crust that is decent yet.

        Kim, for gluten-free, my husband really liked the Gluten-Free Pantry perfect pie crust mix.

      I was thrilled to see a gluten free pie crust, bought it and tried to make an apple pie. The dough was very hard for me to roll out, following instructions on label, and get into the pie plate without breaking, I made a pie with only a bottom crust….I would love to see these crusts in the frozen section, already rolled out and in the pan, like other frozen pie crusts, now that would be the ultimate find.

      What a surprising- but encouraging- read! I’m honestly amazed that a big brand really nailed the gluten-free options so well. Now they just need to convert them into vegan options, and then we’d really be talking. 😉

      I would LOVE to get the recipe for the GF pizza dough that you love to make at home. We love pizza at our house but are now gluten free and dairy free. HELP!

        Hi Amy, it is shared in my book, Go Dairy Free, and in the current issue of Allergic Living magazine, so I can’t share online. Sorry! Grab a copy of either if you feel inclined and enjoy!

      How interesting, Alisa. I have not heard about any of General Mills’ gluten-free products being certified gluten free by a third-party certification agent. They had stated in the past, rather vehemently I might add, that they had never done any outside certifications/inspections for their products and they didn’t plan to do so in the future. They were doing their own R5 ELISA testing at the time, something that many other companies (like Bob’s Red Mill) state they do. Must investigate this info further. Thanks for the post!
