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.

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.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      By Jacki Espo · Posted

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
