Spoiled my pizza for the fourth time

I made pizza at home and i did it with a ready made pizza base. it was such a big failure that you wont believe. the base became rock hard. it was not cutting with anything. the topping with all tat cheese and tomato sauce , when eaten separately, were tasty but it was nothing to be called as a pizza. one could not cut and eat , one could bite, not even taste. i was very very sad plus disappointed. i could have made the dough at home but my hubby said that half of the world is making with ready made things , why are you taking the pain to make the base on your own. i was also happy, but it was all temporary happiness because when nothing turned out good, not even well, nor ok, it was very saddening. Have you ever had such an experience in your life ? can you give me some tips so that i can make an serve some good one for my three year kiddo and hubby ? Thanks in advance.

Mabe you should look for different recipes in the internet and Youtube. But it is great that you tried it because in this way, you'll know what should you do next time.

I prefer to make pizza dough, as its cheap to make. I'm not sure why your dough was hard. Sounds like it might be pre-heating the oven long enough, so its not cooking evenly.

I like working with fresh, pre-mixed dough that you can buy at the store. Problem is it can be hard to manipulate, especially if you like thin crust pizza. Tried Boboli recently and I thought it was gross so like you, I ate the toppings only. I don't like most frozen pizza, even the ones that are popular. So when my time is tight but if I want a real meal, I chop all the veggies and maybe meats while oven is preheating. From there, I take 4-6 french bread loaves,slice in halves and top with tomato sauce and my ingredients. Prep and baking time is less than average delivery and making it yourself is healthier than the frozen version. Best :D

why was it rock hard? did you leave it in the microwave for to long. You should the the ready pizza that you just put in the microwave it take 15-30 minutes they have the pepperoni kind btw
