The spice packets in boxes of pizza mix years ago typically contained the following spices:
* Garlic powder
* Onion powder
* Oregano
* Basil
* Thyme
* Marjoram
* Black pepper
* Red pepper flakes
* Salt
These spices were combined in various proportions to create a unique flavor for each brand of pizza mix. Some mixes also included additional spices such as fennel seeds, cumin, or paprika.
How to Use Pizza Mix Spice Packets
To use a pizza mix spice packet, simply add it to the flour and water when making the pizza dough. The spices will then be evenly distributed throughout the dough and will flavor the pizza as it bakes.
Pizza Mix Spice Packets Today
Today, most pizza mix boxes do not come with spice packets. Instead, the spices are already added to the flour mix. This makes it easier to make pizza, but it also means that you have less control over the flavor of the pizza.
If you want to add some extra flavor to your boxed pizza mix, you can always add your own spices. Simply add the desired spices to the flour mix before adding the water.
