Re: What causes dough to have a shiney plastic-e outer crust?

Quote from: TXCraig1 on Yesterday at 11:57:39 AMThe dough relaxer seem to be the most likely explanation. Rarely used ingredient and rarely encountered problem might be correlated?

Seems i asked a similar question 13 years ago and Tom Lehmann said it was indeed L-cystenine. Its probably why i get the same result when i buy pizza dough at the grocery store in a pinch.

I guess i will need to work on my dough stretching skills if removing the dough relaxer from my recipe is the only way to avoid it.
