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.

      I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet which is really strict for a while, but later other foods can be added back into your diet.  Following the AIP diet strictly allows you digestive system to heal and the inflammation to calm down.  Sort of like feeding a sick baby easy to digest food instead of spicy pizza.   It's important to get the inflammation down because chronic inflammation leads to other health problems.  Histamine is released as part of the autoimmune response to gluten.  High histamine levels make you feel bad and can cause breathing problems (worsening asthma), cardiovascular problems (tachycardia), and other autoimmune diseases (Hashimoto's thyroiditis, diabetes) and even mental health problems. Following the low histamine version of the AIP diet allows the body to clear the histamine from our bodies.  Some foods are high in histamine.  Avoiding these makes it easier for our bodies to clear the histamine released after a gluten exposure.   Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system and calm it down.  Vitamin D is frequently low in Celiacs.  The B Complex vitamins and Vitamin C are needed to clear histamine.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals boosts your intestines' ability to absorb them while healing.   Keep in mind that gluten-free facsimile foods, like gluten-free bread, are not enriched with added vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts are.   They are empty calories, no nutritional value, which use up your B vitamins in order to turn the calories into fuel for the body to function.   Talk to your doctor or nutritionist about supplementing while healing.  Take a good B Complex and extra Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine (shown to promote gut health).  Most B Complex vitamins contain thiamine mononitrate which the body cannot utilize.  Meats and liver are good sources of B vitamins.   Dr. Sarah Ballantyne wrote the book, the Paleo Approach.  She's a Celiac herself.  Her book explains a lot.   I'm so glad you're feeling better and finding your balance!

      So I should not eat my gluten free bread?  I will try the vitamins.  Thank you all so very much for your ideas and understanding.  I'm feeling better today and have gathered back my composure!

      Some people prefer eating gluten before bed, then sleeping through the worst symptoms at night.  You might want to try that and see if that makes any difference.   Several slices of toast for breakfast sounds okay.  Just try to work up to the Ten grams of gluten.  Cookies might only have a half of a gram of gluten.  The weight of the whole cookie is not the same as the amount of gluten in it.  So do try to eat bread things with big bubbles, like cinnamon rolls.   Yeah, I'm familiar with the "death warmed over" feeling.  I hope you get the genetic test results quickly.  I despise how we have to make ourselves sick to get a diagnosis.  Hang in there, sweetie, the tribe is supporting you.

      Thank you, a little expensive but glad to have this source.

      @knitty kitty  Thank you very much for the advice. I did the exam this morning, my doctor actually suggested me to take something called "Celiac duo test" in which I first do the genetic test and if it's positive, then I'll have to do the antigen blood test. I have to attend 1 month until my results are ready, so I have some weeks to increase the amount of gluten I eat daily. It will be hard because my health is not the best right now, but I also did a blood test to cheek my nutritional deficiencies. The results will arrive on Tuesday, so I can ask my doctor what should I do to control my symptoms and blood levels during this month. For now I'm resting and paying attention to what I eat— at least I don’t look like a vampire who just woke up, like I did yesterday. I'm still scared because is the first time I've felt this sick, but this is the right moment to turn things around for the better.  I realized that if I eat gluten at lunch I cannot finish the day properly, I become severely tired and sometimes my stomach hurts a lot - let's not talk about the bloating that starts later. Do you think is it ok to eat gluten just in the morning, like some cookies and slices of bread for breakfast?
