Pimento Cheese

  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 (2 oz.) jar diced pimentos, drained on paper towel

Baking Tip

When making pizza crusts, use 2 to 2-1/2 cups of bread flour (hard wheat) or 2-1/2 to 3-1/2 cups of all-purpose flour (soft wheat).

Baking Tip

For a thinner, crisper pizza crust, use White Lily® All-Purpose Flour. For a thicker, chewier crust, use White Lily Bread Flour.
