Awesomesourdough

I sent someone else to get my groceries. Instead of the Alex's Awesome Sourdough Mushroom I ordered, I got a vegan, gluten free pizza I did not know existed. It does not appears on Alex's Awesome Pizza's website. It does not appear on the health food store's website. It does not appear on a third party shopping service the store uses. Both this flavor and the one I requested have purple boxes. So this company has a secret gluten free vegan pizza lurking around ready to trick people into buying it by mistake, ruining their evening. I would have made sure not to get it but I didn't know it existed.

I do happen to eat some gluten free foods. This crust does not taste like and is not labeled as sourdough. It contains strange things like sunflower seeds. There are really good gluten free crusts mostly made from white rice flour, tapioca starch and/or potato starch. Domino's has one, California Pizza Kitchen used to have one, I think Whole Foods had one?

To be fair I didn't follow the baking directions because my oven is funny. I adjust the temperature and time and keep an eye on things. What I do normally works but might have caused this pizza to not turn out as well as it should have. After cooking for a while the dough was liquidy. Eventually it ended up doughy.

The crust was dense from the beginning. Raw from the freezer the crust was a lot darker than the picture.

In person the cooked crust was purple. There were tiny mushroom crumbs that imparted no flavor. The pizza did smell pretty good. The vegan cheese is vegan cheese and no one wants that.* You can see the picture for yourself. This pizza is a waste. I got stuck with two of them. A complete waste of resources! I have no dinner and nothing for another day either.

* except vegans, who would be unable to find this pizza online
