What it is

Crust water is a term used on ingredient lists for water that is part of the crust of a food product, such as pizza or bread. It is essentially water that has been incorporated into the dough during the baking process. This water contributes to the texture and moisture of the final crust.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use crust water as a fundamental component in doughs for baked goods like pizza and frozen entrees. It helps to hydrate the flour, activate yeast (if used), and develop the gluten structure necessary for a chewy or crispy crust. Its presence is essential for the formation and texture of the baked crust.

Health notes

Water is a fundamental nutrient and is not subject to FDA additive regulations in this context. It is generally recognized as safe. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated water's safety and found it to be essential for life. Typical intake through food is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Water is not an allergen and is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
