I bought this bag of pizza crust mix at Whole Foods in London. Before making this crust, I have tried frozen GF pizza from Schär (ok, but the crust gets very soggy) and a frozen crust from the Norwegian bakery Brisk. Of these I liked the Brisk one best, but it doesn't taste real pizza. It tastes like a very airy white sponge with pizza toppings...
So I had hoped this would be good. And hoped it would not be. It's a long way to London for pizza crust mix, after all.
The mix contains: whole grain brown rice flour, potato starch, whole grain millet flour, whole grain sorghum flour, tapioca flour, potato flour, evaporated cane juice, xanthan gum, active dry yeast, sea salt and guar gum. You add water, oil and eggs.
The taste was too different for me. I also didn't enjoy the strange consistency of the dough, probably from the Xanthan and Guar gums. The consistency of the finished crust was better, but still spongy rather than chewy. Perhaps if I made only half the bag and made a really thin crust, I could try it again. But I'd rather not. Onwards and upwards in search for the perfect crust!
