:rolleyes: I am not sure who recommended this, but I am pretty sure it was someone on this board. I tried it tonight and it was so GOOD!! Just wanted to say thanks!!

-Jessica :rolleyes:

For those who have no clue what I'm talking about.....you can make a pizza crust out of hashbrowns.

I used a pie plate, thinly sliced hashbrowns

Pour some hashbrowns into a lightly Pam'ed pie plate/pizza pan.

Defrost Hashbrowns and press onto the sides of the dish.

I added some garlic powder and oregano and basil to the hashbrowns.

Bake for about 20 min at 350...or until slightly brown and crispy.

Top with pizza sauce, toppings(meat, veggies) and cheese bake for another 10-12 min. and you now have a great quick pizza!! YUM!! :D

I posted about hash brown crust like you described for quiche, but have not tried it for pizza- it sounds yummy ! I will have to try it soon. My kids are probably more upset about not having pizza than any other food. We have tried gluten free pizza crusts (from the mixes) and have not liked them.

sounds yummy- I use potatoes and or onions sliced thin as a crust for quiches and other things like that.. hadn't thought of pizza... but had been debating trying it in a lasagna recipe... layers and all..

I made this again the other day. Made a Ham and pineapple pizza was SOOOO good.

I used regular sauce, but then also added a little bbq sauce (sweet baby ray's) for some extra kick. It was AWESOME!!!

Do you buy frozen hashbrowns or make them from home? If you buy them whih brand do you get?

I use Ore-Ida Hashbrowns..the thinly sliced NOT the country style(chunky). Mr. Dell's is another gluten-free brand that you could use, and I have used before.

I just made this and it was okay. I think next time I will cook the hashbrowns longer and use less sauce but it's still yummie!

Pardon my ignorance: I'm Australian. We have something here called hash browns, but they don't sound much like what you're talking about. Could you please elaborate on what they are? Thanks!

I'm new to celiac disease and this board. Thank goodness for this and other internet resources; I'd still be following a lot of bad advice without them. You people are very supportive and encouraging, and I've learnt a lot from you already.

Just a little about me: I'm 47, supposedly asymptomatic (though I've run a bit of a gamut over the years, I now realise), though definitely coeliac, with blood results over the top and biopsy showing 'severe' damage. Been gluten-free a month now, and loving it - mostly. Still having the odd foggy brained day, but oboy, is this what normal digestion feels like?

My biggest problem is not boring my friends & family, as I'm still excited to realise all the things I CAN eat. They're very patient, but it's not of great moment to them the way it is for me when I find I can adapt another recipe or find a great tasting substitute. Successes so far: home made gluten-free pasta and crepes. Failure: scones (I think you call them biscuits?) which absolutely failed to rise. They made good soft crumbs, though. Dubious: bread, the formula for which I made up as I went. It rose fine and looked fabulous but tasted to me like dry cake. My partner, on the other hand, had no idea it was gluten-free and ate it quite happily, so I guess it was my expectations that made it a dubious success, not the thing itself.

Thanks for being here!

Hashbrowns are potatoes thinly sliced. They are usually fried as a side dish.

I saw a recipe on Foodtv where someone ( I can not remember which show) made a crust using pasta but I bet it would work with shredded potatoes (hashbrowns). this is assuming you can have dairy. Basically make a mixture of hasbrowns, shredded cheese and eggs in a oven ready fry pan. Fry it until it the bottom is crispy then put under the broiler until the top is crispy. I bet it would make an awesome pizza crust. I am going to try it this weekend. Very high calorie though I am sure!

Lima,

Americans have about 5000 versions of cooked/fried potatoes -- its no wonder people get them confused -- even Americans have differing opinions betweem hash browns, home fries, potatoes o brien, etc.

When you grate a potato on a cheese grater, the "pieces" are hash browns (well, they become hash browns with some oil, salt and pepper...)

Hope this helps,

Bronco

If you can find frozen hashbrown potato patties (like McD's hash browns) they make very good mini-pizzas with even less work. When I was newly diagnosed and feeding my family english muffin pizzas, this was my version of dinner, and everyone pouted when I wouldn't share. :lol:

Hi Lindy! I'm a mad baker myself so one of the first things I did after my endoscopy (even before the official diagnosis) was to head straight for the kitchen & start experimenting with different flours. Do you know about xanthan gum? It replaces gluten in recipes to help bind the starches, aid rising & keep the crumble factor down. You just need to use a little bit, so don't freak out when you see the price. It goes far. Also, run out and get some sorghum flour to use in the bread-- it REALLY helps with the moistness. Bette Hagman & Annalise Roberts have great baking books that will help a lot. I've made both biscuits/scones & yeast bread with enough success that my family ate them with gusto... actually the biscuits were gobbled up in no time, just like the old wheat ones! Now if only all those flours weren't so doggone pricey!

Happy Baking,

Leah

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.
