Is Pizza Hut Hand Tossed Crust High in Histamine?

Pizza Hut Hand Tossed Crust

High histamine

This hand tossed crust is high in histamine because of its dried autolysed yeast and fermented wheat flour.

Fast food is cooked in batches and held warm rather than made when you order it, so it is rarely as fresh as something cooked at home. That matters here because histamine builds up as protein foods sit, which means the same item can affect you differently depending on how long it waited.

Gluten

This is a classic tossed crust made from wheat flour, water, fermented wheat flour, dried autolysed yeast, and a few binders and oils.

Dried autolysed yeast — this is a broken-down, concentrated yeast that runs high in histamine, and it sets the level for the whole crust on its own.
Fermented wheat flour — the fermented flour and the wheat base sit at a moderate level and add to it, while the starch, gum, and oils are milder background ingredients.

Because the high yeast is baked into the dough, a different crust is the better route.
