Pizza Crust

Just thought I'd pass along what I discovered this evening!

Tonight we tried the pizza crust recipe on the side of Pamela's Amazing Wheat-Free bread mix. Yummy! I've tried various rice crusts and Kinnikinnick frozen crust and have liked them; however, none of them satisfied that Pizza Hut/Domino's pizza craving. This crust by Pamela's was easy to make and very similar to what I remember of a "real pizza" crust.

fwiw: I topped it with a Wild Oats marinara sauce, shrimp, spinach, mushrooms, & red bell pepper. YUMMY(!) even without cheese. If you're still looking for a pizza crust, this is a must-try!

Before I get my hopes up - does it have eggs, dairy or soy?

Before I get my hopes up - does it have eggs, dairy or soy?

Good question....The short answer is NO :)

Here's the ingredient list straight from bag of mix:

sorghum flour, tapioca flour, sweet rice flour, brown rice flour, organic natural evaporated cane sugar, chicory root, white rice flour, millet flour, honey & molasses, rice bran, sea salt, xantham gum

To prepare the pizza crust you only add: oil, water, and the enclosed yeast packet

I did follow the recommendation to grease the pan (with shortening) and sprinkled the pan with cornmeal to add texture to the crust. I think the cornmeal also helped keep the crust from sticking.

Side note: the loaf bread made from this mix is also very good, but the bread does require egg; milk is optional

Hurray! Now all I have to do is find a store around here that sells it! I haven't had anything that tastes like a "real" pizza crust for 10 years, and everything else that I've seen has eggs or dairy. Thanks!

We love Carol Fenster's pizza crust. It's in her book "Cooking Free", and is also available online her site Open Original Shared Link.

I don't remember for sure off the top of my head if this particular recipe is eggs & dairy free (I *think* it is), but her book does offer alternate ingredients for those who are gluten-, dairy-, and egg-sensitive. It's my favourite cookbook.

Yeah, I smiled when I re-read the ingredients to myself and saw that it would meet your needs. You're in for a pleasant surprise....it even rises like real pizza dough, but not too bread-y.

I buy it at Wild Oats, but I'm sure you can find it where ever you find your gluten-free items. You could order it online from Gluten Solutions Open Original Shared Link and I'm sure other online vendors.

I love Pamela's Amazing Wheat Free Bread Mix. I haven't tried making a pizza crust with it yet, or even a loaf of bread. So far I've used it to make homemade cinnamon rolls and they came out so good- very much like the real thing. I love how the mix rises and dough-like bread consistency of the end result.

For me this product is definitely a keeper, I'll have to try making the pizza crust with it next.

did you only get enough to make one pizza? how much oil did it call for

I don't remember ever seeing the bread mix at my whole foods

The directions recommend 2 12" crusts. I did that, and the crust easily could have been thinner still...so bigger pizza. It really was a lot of pizza.

Hmmm, how much oil? Seems like maybe a 1/4 cup. I'll post later if this is not right. Also, keep your fingers oiled while you work the crust. It is pretty sticky, but kept dipping my fingers in oil as recommended. Really if you follow the recommendations on the bag, it's easy and YUMMY!

Mixing the dough took maybe 5 minutes. Dump mix, yeast, oil & beat for 3 min. Spread on greased pans (sprinkled with cornmeal, optional; I did). Let rise for 1 hr. (I turned the oven to warm while mixing. Turned oven off, and placed pans in warm oven) Bake crust at 350 for 10 min. Remove and top with whatever. Return to oven and bake 15 min. All done :)

Haven't tried this, but another suggestion on the bag was to wrap and freeze crusts after baking for 10 min. Then remove from freezer as needed. Top and bake.

Juliem, the bread is yummy, too. I make it in a bread machine. Some say it doesn't need to be frozen but I always slice, wrap, and freeze mine. Hubby and I don't eat a whole loaf very quickly. It's delicious removed from freezer and "warmed" or toasted. Great sandwiches, etc. Tell me about the Cinnamon rolls. Is that one of the recipes provided? Or how did you make them?

Yes - please tell us about the cin. rolls. I love Chebe pizza crust but the cin. buns from them were just awful. The birds and bunnies out back liked them though. They were like little rocks. My hubby tried to be nice and eat them and he got about three of them down but they were tiny and he could have eaten 10 if he'd liked them. Ick!

Ok, I totally made up this recipe for the cinnamon rolls. I just prepare Pamela's Amazing Wheat Free Bread mix according to bread directions:

I dump the flour mixture, yeast packet and 2 c. liquid ingredients (this is 1/4 c. oil, 2 eggs and warm water all adding up to 2 cups total) into a large bowl. Then I beat with a hand mixer with the dough hook attachments for 3 minutes. Dough is very sticky so I use plain rice flour to pat all over surface to make it easier to work with and form it into a bread loaf like shape and get it rolled out. I also use the plain rice flour to sprinkle all over the roll out surface and the rolling pin. I then roll it out into about a 16-18" x 7-9" rectangle (you don't have to be too fussy over the exact measurements, just make sure it's a rectangle and maybe about 1/4" thick or so) I then brush melted butter all over surface of rolled out dough and sprinkle over the melted butter a mixture of 1/2 c. brown sugar, 2 tbsp. white sugar, and 2 tsp. ground cinnamon. Then I roll it up like a jelly roll- starting with the longest side turn it in lengthwise and keep rolling until it's one long roll or log. I then slice it into 4 equal portions (cut it in half, then each half in half, so you have 4 equal portions) Then I cut each of those 4 portions into thirds- so this makes a total of 12 rolls (about 2" wide each). I butter the baking pans, I have 2 baking pans that are about 7"x 10" and 6 rolls in each pan works perfectly, and then place the rolls in the pans cut side down. I cover each pan with saran wrap and let sit in a warm place (I just put them on top of the preheated oven) for about 50-60 minutes to rise (they will only rise a little bit). Then bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. I frost with a cream cheese glaze on when they are right out of the oven (4 oz cream cheese, 1/2 c. powder sugar, and 4 tbsp milk or cream, beat until creamy)- totally optional though.

Hopefully my directions aren't confusing!

I have made these 3 times so far and it gets easier each time, and they come out better each time! I think it's just a matter of getting used to the dough and fine tuning the process with every attempt. My gluten eating family absolutely rave over them, and my sweet tooth nieces said these are their favorite. So this recipe is definitely a keeper in my family!

No problem, I hope they turn out for you as good as they did for me. If you can tame the sticky dough and get it to cooperate that is half the battle :lol:

Also, just a tip, if you have everything sort of assembly line and ready to go before you start beating the dough mixture I found it will make the process go more smoothly-preheat the oven, grease the pans, melt the butter, measure out the cinnamon sugar mixture, flour the roll out surface, etc. - then beat the dough.

If you happen to find any simpler pizza crust recipes, please let me know. That one has many ingredients I'm allergic to.

The list of ingredients I can work with is:

millet flour

rice flour (white or brown)

baking soda

vitamin C

salt

honey or agave nectar

olive or safflower oil

If anyone has ideas, I'd appreciate them. I do miss pizza crust.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Navigating medication safety with Celiac disease can be incredibly stressful, especially when dealing with asthma and severe allergies on top of it. While I don't have personal experience with the HealthA2Z brand of cetirizine, your caution is absolutely warranted. The inactive ingredients in pills, known as excipients, are often where gluten can be hidden, and since the FDA does not require gluten-free labeling for prescription or over-the-counter drugs, the manufacturer's word is essential. The fact that you cannot get a clear answer from Allegiant Health is a significant red flag; a company that is confident its product is gluten-free will typically have a customer service protocol to answer that exact question. In situations like this, the safest course of action is to consider this product "guilty until proven innocent" and avoid it. A better alternative would be to ask your pharmacist or doctor to help you identify a major national brand of cetirizine (like Zyrtec) whose manufacturer has a verified, publicly stated gluten-free policy for that specific medication. It's not worth the risk to your health when reliable, verifiable options are almost certainly available to you. You can search this site for USA prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Protein or fat?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you're describing is indeed familiar to many in the Celiac community, especially in the early stages of healing. When the intestinal villi are damaged from Celiac disease, they struggle to properly digest and absorb fats, a condition known as bile acid malabsorption. This can cause exactly the kind of cramping and spasms you're seeing, as undigested fats can irritate the sensitive gut lining. It is highly plausible that her reactions to dairy and eggs are linked to their higher fat content rather than the proteins, especially since she tolerates lean chicken breast. The great news is that for many, this does improve with time. As her gut continues to heal on a strict gluten-free diet, her ability to produce the necessary enzymes and bile to break down fats should gradually return, allowing her to slowly tolerate a wider variety of foods. It's a slow process of healing, but your careful approach of focusing on low-fat, nutrient-dense foods like seeds and avocado is providing her system the best possible environment to recover. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: Thank you for sharing your story—it's a valuable insight for other parents navigating similar challenges.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.
