    Oh how amazingly delicious! Left out mushrooms and cabbage (doubled peppers and onions) this time. The dough was perfectly light and flavorful, crisped well in the oven. Next time might try some artichoke -- so many options. This takes about two hours, but the end result is WORTH IT! - 10/25/08

    Fantastic! I ran out of filling about 2/3 of the way through, so make 1.5 times the filling. What a great meal! Served with pasta sauce. Put 1/2 in the fridge and froze the rest. Took me 4 hours total to make a double batch, but totally worth it! I have lunch for a month now. - 8/7/08

    Going to make this in the next few days. Sounds great for freezing with our new vacuum sealer! :o) Amazing how low-cal it is too. - 7/13/08

    Incredible!
    Loved the dough, loved the flavor, love the convenience of having ready made lunch. So few calories, fat and sodium for such a great meal. Because of comments I increased quantity of some of the vegetables and added a couple more and came up with 12, but the counts are still great! - 3/6/12
