Pizza pan for Against the Grain Pizza

Recommended Posts

We adore Against The Grain gluten-free pizza!! We had not gotten a pizza pan but now that we have had Against The Grain gluten-free pizza a few times & know we love it; it's time to get a pizza pan so the entire bottom of the crust cooks correctly & is not doughy in the center.

The box says use a pizza stone or a pizza pan with holes in it but I'm wondering if the USA pizza pan would be excellent. Here's what I'm talking aobut:

I LOVE all my other USA pans so I'm wondering if their pizza pan would work as well or better than a pizza pan with holes.

Feedback???

 I know people who have gone to the trouble of putting a brick oven in their backyard just to make pizza, which I would never do. If you don't want to go to that extreme most people recommend using a pizza stone

Yeh, no brick oven is going to be put in this backyard. :lol:

Thanks Scott, I will check out pizza stones.

The funny thing about the friends with the brick pizza oven in their backyard is that they also drive a Prius hybrid car… Go figure!

You never can tell.

When I cook Against the Grain pizza I just use a disposable pizza pan (2 for a dollar) and it never comes out doughy in the middle. Maybe the pan being so thin makes the difference. They suggest you put a cookie sheet underneath but I don't. Instead I just slide it out of the oven onto a cookie sheet.

Here is an old link to a 2011 posting about this very subject:

I can not offer personal advice.  I am have an intolerance to onions and garlic so pizza is out! 

Dang!  This linked strangely.  Anyhoo......go ahead and click on it and it will open to the entire posting.  Lots of great tips to avoid soggy gluten-free pizza.

Thanks Barty. I will try that. Beats the heck out of having to clean everything up.

I was researching last night & ran into all kinds of stumbling blocks. Lots of holey pans said you couldn't expose them to heat over 400 degrees & some said 450 degrees. Against The Grain requires 500 degrees. I found some similar statements with pizza stones AND also found with the stones that some said DO NOT place a frozen pizza on a hot stone or it will crack the stone and of course stones have to be heated before putting the pizza on them soooo.... Well, Against The Grain is frozen & meant to stay that way until you shove it in the oven. All of this was getting complicated so I gave up research for the evening. I didn't check every pan or every stone yet but I am not going to spend $50 for a pizza stone -- it will have to be a cheap one or none at all. If we ate pizza once a week it might be a different story but we don't & I can't see having a big, bulky, expensive stone that has to be stored somewhere for something we have 4 or 5 times a year.

Cyclinglady, I can't guarantee it but I don't think Against the Grain has onions or garlic. They certainly aren't listed in the ingredients and I don't taste either in the pizza. We DO add onions & green peppers to it as that's how we like pizza.

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can take 12–24 months (sometimes longer) for antibodies and the intestinal lining to fully heal, particularly in teens and young adults. Eating gluten again to “test” things isn’t recommended and won’t give you clear answers—it’s far more likely to cause harm than clarity. Weight not changing is also very common in celiac and doesn’t rule anything out. Please know that your frustration and sadness matter; this adjustment is hard, and feeling stuck can really affect mental health. You deserve support, and if you can, reaching out to a GI dietitian or mental health professional familiar with chronic illness could really help you through this phase. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people.
