Looking powdery or dry?
Check the quantities against the pack instructions and mix thoroughly. The finished base is intended to be soft inside with a crisp bottom.
Feeling sticky or wet?
Recheck your measurements, then follow the mixing, rolling and baking method on the pack. Leave to rise, the mixture will be wet to start with. The mix is designed to be easy to mix and roll without special tools.

Freezing Your Pizza Base
Want to get ahead? Our pizza bases can be prepared in advance and frozen for another day.
1. Roll out the dough
Prepare your Hungry Scarecrow pizza dough as instructed and roll it out to your desired thickness.
2. Pre-bake the base
Place the rolled-out dough onto a baking tray and pre-bake until the base is lightly cooked and just starting to firm up. Do not over-bake.
3. Cool completely
Remove from the oven and allow the pizza base to cool completely. Cover with a clean tea towel or baking paper to avoid it drying out.
4. Freeze
Once completely cool, wrap the base well or place it in a suitable freezer bag or airtight container. Freeze flat to help prevent it from breaking.
5. When you're ready to eat
There’s no need to fully defrost. Add your favourite toppings and bake from frozen until hot, crisp and cooked through.
A handy tip from Hungry Scarecrows:
Make several bases at once and freeze them individually. That way, you can enjoy a delicious homemade gluten-free pizza whenever you fancy one—without having to make the dough from scratch every time!
