The Easiest Homemade Pizza Crust Ever!

Okay, so I opened up my new Bette Hagman "The Gluten Free Gourmet Cooks Fast and Healthy" and I see this recipe for a pizza crust that only uses FIVE ingredients!!! I was in a hurry for dinner last night so I whipped it up (in record time I might add). I wasn't expecting much in the way of flavor, but WOW!!! It tastes and feels similar to a Tombstone pizza. Well, I haven't had Tombstone for years, but I think that's what it tasted like. It was very similar to regular, premade freezer pizzas. My non-gluten-free DH LOVED it and my super picky DD gobbled down three pieces, a record amount of food for her to consume. I don't know how good it would be with just cheese, but with bacon and onion it was FABULOUS!!!

I almost forgot to mention that it's also rice, yeast, and egg free and EASILY adaptable to dairy free too if you substitute something for the cheese. I personally like it with bbq sauce, chicken, and onion.

Ok, ok, ok... :) Here goes:

Bette Hagman's Bean Flour Pizza Crust

1-1/2 cups light bean flour mix (I use her pre-made bean flour mix)

1 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

3/4 cup milk or milk substitute

1/4 cup vegetable oil

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F

In a medium bowl, combine flour mix, baking powder, and salt.

Measure the milk and stire in the vegetable oil until blended. Stir this liquid into the dry ingredients. Spread in a 10" circle on a cookie sheet, making the edges slightly thicker.

Bake for about 10 minutes. Spread on a pizza sauce and your favorite pizza toppings and return to the oven for about 9 to 10 minutes. If you prefer, spread the sauce and your toppings on the unbaked crust and bake for about 20 to 25 minutes.

My notes: This mix works well in a mixer and, from my experience, will come out looking more like a runny pancake batter than pizza dough, but it bakes up fantastic. I have to use a pizza pan to get a round shape because it's so runny. I generally bake the untopped shell for 15 mintues rather than 10, but I imagine that depends on your oven. I would bake it until the edges just start getting browned. Then add pre-cooked toppings as you like. I would imagine that if you used several smaller pans these would freeze very well. I haven't tried that yet though. I need to buy some small pizza pans.

ENJOY!!! Let me know what you guys think because I'm considering serving this to some friends. I want to make sure we're not the only people who enjoy it.

Oh yeah, I forgot to say that I just throw the ingredients in my mixer and walk away for a minute. I don't mix slowly or anything like the recipe says and it turns out fabulous. This is by far the quickest, easiest pizza recipe that I've ever come across.

When I get the courage to try bean flour, I'll have to try that. I make a pizza crust from a similar recipe that uses part Bob's Red Mill gluten-free Flour mix and it has bean flour in it, but I've been afraid to try all bean flour.

Looks like a good recipe :) Thanks for sharing!

So are Bette Hagman's mixes all about the beans? Does she have any mixes without bean flours? Or can any brand flour mix substitute here?

I'm also staying away from legumes and the bean flours.

I imagine you could make it with rice flour, potato starch, and tapioca starch, but I haven't tried it like that.

Clabber girl is gluten free as well as Wal-mart's GV brand. Of course, always double check the label, but both of those say gluten free on the canister. :)

The Easy Pizza recipe on the page right before Bette Hagman's Bean Flour Pizza Crust (the one this thread is about) is really good and actually bakes up better with her original blend than with the bean flour, so if you like a thick crust pizza with no beans, this is good.

I just made the Easy Pizza Crust one before the Bean Crust one. I didnt have the flour for the bean flour.. I actually am surprised that I like the pizza crust. I am very picky and didnt even eat pizza crust really before I went gluten free. This stuff is pretty good!

In her first gluten-free Gourmet cookbook she gives a recipe for Jill's Quick and Easy Pizza Crust that uses rice flour (I used brown rice) and cornstarch. My family loves it. I am not home right now but can get you the recipe Sat evening if you are interested. Takes rice flour, cornstarch, xanthan gum, milk, eggs, and crisco. I have tried it with oil and it works but crisco seems to hold up a little better.

She has 2 flour mixes Featherlight and gluten-free mix that do not have bean flours in them. In one of her cookbooks it says you can use any of her mixes but that sometime you might need to alter recipe a little. Bette Hagman's cookbooks have been a lifesaver to me since we discovered my husband and son have celiac. :) Kendra

The very first pizza crust that I cooked Gluten Free was Carol Fenster's. I bought the book Gluten Free 101 but her entire recipe and step by step picture-instructions are on her website at Open Original Shared Link.

I have to say that I like this pizza crust every bit as much (and possibly more) than regular. We all love it and eat pizza every week.

It's easy to make (the instructions say to use a food processor but I use my Kitchenaid stand mixer). And it has a spoon (Tb or tsp I can't remember) of italian seasoning in the crust that makes it perfectly delish. Also, it's chewy and you can actually pick up your pizza.

So along with all of the recommendations here I wanted to add this one. It's available free at the website above, doesn't use any weird flour (uses tapioca and brown rice flour - not the superfine type just the regular brown rice flour).

So give it a try. I love it. We all love it.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      That’s really frustrating, I’m sorry you went through that. High fiber can definitely cause sudden stomach issues, especially if your body isn’t used to it yet, but accidental gluten exposure can feel similar. Keeping a simple food/symptom journal and introducing new foods one at a time can really help you spot patterns. You’re already doing the right things ...

      Anti-endomysial Antibody (EMA) Testing

      I thought this might be of interest regarding anti-EMA testing. Some labs use donated umbilical cord instead of monkey oesophagus. Some labs just provide a +ve/-ve test result but others provide a grade by testing progressively diluted blood sample. https://www.aesku.com/index.php/ifu-download/1367-ema-instruction-manual-en-1/file Fluorescence-labelled...

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @GlorietaKaro! As Scott indicated, without formal testing for celiac disease, which would require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten daily for weeks, it would be not be possible to distinguish whether you have celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). Their symptoms overlap. The difference being that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the lining of the small bowel. We actually no more about celiac disease than we do about NCGS, the mechanism of the latter being more difficult to classify. There are specific antibody tests for celiac disease diagnosis and there is also the endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining. Currently, there are no tests to diagnose NCGS. Celiac disease must first ruled out. Researchers are working on developing testing methods to diagnose celiac disease that do not require a "gluten challenge" which is just out of the question for so many because it poses serious, even life-threatening, health risks. But we aren't there yet.

You’re already doing the right things with cleaning and separating baking—also watch shared toasters, cutting boards, and labels like “may contain.”

The binding site is extracellular tTG2 bound to fibronectin and collagen. Human or monkey derived endomysium is necessary because tTG2 from other mammals does not provide the right binding epitope. https://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/26/3/1012

      First, please know that receiving two diagnoses at once, especially one you've never heard of, is undoubtedly overwhelming. You are not alone in this. Your understanding is correct: both celiac disease and Mesenteric Panniculitis (MP) are considered to have autoimmune components. While having both is not extremely common, they can co-occur, as chronic inflammation from one autoimmune condition can sometimes be linked to or trigger other inflammatory responses in the body. MP, which involves inflammation of the fat tissue in the mesentery (the membrane that holds your intestines in place), is often discovered incidentally on scans, exactly as in your case. The fact that your medical team is already planning follow-up with a DEXA scan (to check bone density, common after a celiac diagnosis) and a repeat CT is a very proactive and prudent approach to monitoring your health. Many find that adhering strictly to the gluten-free diet for celiac disease helps manage overall inflammation, which may positively impact MP over time. It's completely normal to feel uncertain right now. Your next steps are to take this one day at a time, focus on the gluten-free diet as your primary treatment for celiac, and use your upcoming appointments to ask all your questions about MP and what the monitoring plan entails. This dual diagnosis is a lot to process, but it is also the starting point for a managed path forward to better health. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Your experience is absolutely valid, and you are not "nuts" or a "complete weirdo." What you are describing aligns with severe neurological manifestations of gluten sensitivity, which is a recognized, though less common, presentation. Conditions like gluten ataxia and peripheral neuropathy are documented in medical literature, where gluten triggers an autoimmune response that attacks the nervous system, leading to symptoms precisely like yours—loss of coordination, muscle weakness, fasciculations, and even numbness. The reaction you had from inhaling flour is a powerful testament to your extreme sensitivity. While celiac disease is commonly tested, non-celiac gluten sensitivity with neurological involvement is harder to diagnose, especially since many standard tests require ongoing gluten consumption, which you rightly fear could be dangerous. Seeking out a neurologist or gastroenterologist familiar with gluten-related disorders, or consulting a specialist at a major celiac research center, could provide more validation and possibly explore diagnostic options like specific antibody tests (e.g., anti-gliadin or transglutaminase 6 antibodies) that don't always require a gluten challenge. You are not alone; many individuals with severe reactivity navigate a world of invisible illness where their strict avoidance is a medical necessity, not a choice. Trust your body's signals—it has given you the most important diagnosis already.
