I got home from work the other night and Kevin said we were having pizza for dinner. He’d found a box of “Chebe Gluten Free Pizza Crust” in the cupboard and he wanted to try making it. The recipe called for eggs and since we had duck eggs in the fridge, he figured the timing was right. (Remember, if you have an allergy to chicken eggs, before trying other eggs please check with your doctor. You can also use an egg replacer with this mix.)
Kevin asked me to check out the consistency of the dough. The recipe called for 2 eggs, but he’d only used 1, because duck eggs are huge. The 1 duck egg was definitely enough. The dough looked and felt great. I noticed there were herbs in the dough. Kevin said the herbs were already in the mix. Remember, I’ve said it before: When baking gluten free, added flavor makes a huge difference. How cool that Chebe does that for us!
The two of us finished assembling my pizza; loading it up with pepperoni, browned ground beef, sweet peppers, onions, mushrooms and daiya mozzarella. While my pizza baked, he ran into town for his. (Since my dairy, egg and gluten allergies were diagnosed; pizza is a rarity at our house. When we do have pizza, I don’t subject him to my gluten free, cheese-less pizza; he gets real pizza.)
The Chebe crust was great! By far, the best gluten free pizza crust I’ve ever had! Better than any of the other gluten free pizza crust mixes or the pre-made crusts or daiya frozen pizzas I’ve bought. It had great flavor and baked consistently. It wasn’t real thin. (Maybe that’s because I didn’t cover the whole pan with the dough.) I was able to cut it with our pizza cutter. It was not tough or chewy. This crust is the closest I’ve come to a real pizza since I’ve gone gluten free. I thoroughly enjoyed it! In fact, I ate half of it. I ate the other half the next day for lunch. Second time around, the crust was a little tough and definitely chewy. Lesson learned – eat the whole thing in one setting. Lol
To conclude: I’ll still buy the pre-made crusts and the frozen daiya pizzas because of their time saving elements. But I will also, definitely, buy the Chebe crust mix again. https://www.chebe.com/
