My husband and I made Pizza last night and it was so terrible. We used Natures Highlights Brown Rice Pizza Crust. It comes frozen. It was so grainy and dense. It stuck to my molars every time I tried to chew it.
Does any one know of a good frozen one or a mix that is good. Or even a homemade recipe?

We have had great results with the Gluten-Free Pantry French bread and pizza mix.

Against the Grain pizza crust, frozen. Excellent.

This one is really good and easy. I got the recipe from here quite a while ago and tweaked it to our taste.

'New York Style' Pizza Crust

Makes one 16" pizza crust or two smaller crusts - foldable floppy and not crispy.


2 tablespoons rapid-rise yeast
1 1l3 cup warm milk
1 teaspoon sugar

1 1l3 cup white rice flour
1 cup cornstarch
2 teaspoons xanthan gum
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons gelatin powder
2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning Optional--I leave it out)

2 teaspoons olive oil
2 teaspoons apple cidar vinegar


Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

In small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk and sugar.

In separate large bowl, blend together dry ingredients.

Stir in yeast mixture.

Add oil and apple cider vinegar.

Mix well.

Pat onto oiled sheet - use a sheet of plastic wrap between your hands and the dough to pat down. (makes it much easier)

Rub olive oil on top of patted out dough.

Bake plain untopped crust for 10 minutes.

Remove from oven and add toppings.

Return to oven and finish baking for another 20 minutes.

Thank you Peter,
Where can I get this?

[psawyer]

I get it at my local grocery store, but that won't help you. You can buy it online from several sources, including here. (follow the link on there) It is my understanding that selected WalMart locations have it.

Perfect! It says I can find it at Trader Joe's. We have one hear. I will be doing my shopping there today. Great timing.
Thank you so much Peter

Thank you so much. My husband will love to make this one. He really likes to make things as much from scratch as possible. He finds it fun. I'm trying to get there

Is this an easy one to get a hold of? I want to try as many of them as I can, so that When I have people over for pizza to watch the Packers play, that they won't complain about my GLUTEN FREE pizza.

I always use the gluten-free pizza crust recipe on epicurious: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/vie...ee-Pizza-241924
It takes a little practice working with the really sticky dough, but with rice-floured hands and quick movements, the dough will eventually get into place.

This recipe is absolutely simple, fast and amazing:

I just tried it again today. I HAVE NOT made a large pizza YET, but it works great for: mini pizzas, muffins, mini muffins, bread sticks, appetizers...fun to play with...no starches.

I add 1 1/2 tsp. xanthan gum
and I use 1/2 tsp. garlic salt and 1/2 tsp. onion salt for the regular salt
omit the cayenne
add 1/2 tsp. basil and 1/2 tsp. oregano

The bottom gets slightly crispy and its not doughy, you don't need to prebake. Mix with a spoon, flour your hands and pat out.

Try not to throw stones, but I must play devil's advocate here. I have yet to find a gluten free pizza crust to my satisfaction. Now I realize that I am never going to replicate the texture or flavor of a regular pizza crust, I just want something palatable. I don't understand how people say that others would never know the difference. Being a previous gluten eater, I know and so does my husband. I have found that I am the same way with gluten free bread. I would just rather go without. That said, I ordered some coconut flour and have been experimenting with it over the weekend. I made this and I found it to be very good. My husband even commented on that it is the best one he has tasted so far. He even thought I could con the kids into eating it. I will definately be making this again. Happy eats!

I'll be trying these too.

At one time I felt the same as you. Now I know there are some good gluten free pizza crusts, bread and pasta. You do get what you pay for and the better tasting cost more than their weight in gold. But worth it. I'd buy them even if I wasn't gluten free.

I tasted "Against the Grain" recently at a celiac convention and I decided this crust was something I could actually use. Roda, I'm with you! I can ALWAYS taste and feel the difference in any gluten-free food that is substituted for the real thing. I would rather skip many gluten-free substitutes but I am presently trying to find "Against the Grain" locally. I heard that Wegman's carries it but I didn't find it there. I will check my local WalMart.

(1) Bob's Red Mill pizza crust mix - add warm water, oil and eggs. I use my kitchen aid and it's super easy. Let it sit for 20 minutes before using, then i press out into a circle shape using greased wax paper above and below - makes a nice thick crust.

(2) Chebe pizza crust mix - again, very easy to make with a fork and your hands. Roll it out into shape and it makes a thin, flexible and slightly chewy pizza crust.

I used to love regular pizza and my partner is NOT celiac - and we both absolutely LOVE making and eating these pizza crusts with fresh and delicious toppings!!
