Pizza Dough

The one thing my daughter really misses is pizza. I've tried several diffrent mixes and premade doughs but none that she likes so far. She makes Pizza in a Bowl when we are at grandma and papas (papa usually orders pizza for my son) but alway mentions that a pizza sure would be nice.

Have you tried the Gluten Free Pantry French Bread/Pizza Dough Mix? It's very good :)

If you are continually messing it up it might just be you are too experienced.....

One of the hardest things in gluten-free baking is the constistency is different (each mix is itself a bit different) ... and the hardest thing is to forget the 'feel' of when its right.

i recently got some good advice in italy for thin-pan which is the chef used only gluten-free flour (an Italian brand) and water no yeast etc. this works for the thin pan ones..

I order pizza crusts from Ener G. They come in packs of three. I really like them.

Here are links to two pizza threads from last month. They both have recipes for pizza crust. I've had great success with homemade crust - my 9, 11, 13 and 14 year old kids ALL love it and my 13 year old daughter even told me that it tasted as good as pizza from a pizza parlor. My recipe is in the thread on the 2nd link.

I use Carol Fensters Pizza Crust

I absolutely love it. The best tasting pizza I have had so far! The crust comes out so crispy, as does the bottom of the pie.. here is the recipe if you are interested

1 tbspn dry yeast

2/3 cup brown rice flour or garbanzo/fava bean flour ( I use brown rice flour )

1/2 cup tapioca flour

2 tsp xanthan gum

1/2 tsp salt

1 tspn unflavored gelatin powder

1 tsp Italian Herb seasoning

2/3 cup warm milk ( 110 degrees )

1 tsp olive oil

1 tsp cider vinegar

Extra rice flour for sprinkling

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In medium mixer bowl using regular beaters (not dough hooks), blend the yeast, flours, xanthan gum, salt, gelatin powder and italian seasonings on low speed.

Add warm milk, sugar, oil, and vinegar.

Beat on high speed for 2 minutes. If the mixer bounces around the bowl, the dough is too stiff, add water if necessary one tablespoon at a time, until dough does not resist beather. The dough will resemble soft bread dough.

Put mixture on lightly greased 12 inch pizza pan. Liberally sprinkle rice flour onto dough then press dough into pan, continuing to sprinkle dough with flour to prevent sticking to your hands. Make edges thicker to hold the toppings.

Bake crust alone for 10 minutes. Remove from oven. Top crust with sauce and your preferred toppings. bake for another 20-25 minutes.. (I only bake for about another 15 and then watch closely.. 25 minutes is wayyy too long for my oven.

If you try this, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do... Its really easy to make and it tastes like the real thing.

I make my own gravy (pizza sauce) and use fresh mozzarella.. yum.. might have to make this for dinner tonite!

Just wondering - do you usually make separate food for your kids or try to make something that everyone can eat? I've found that it's easier to make the same food for everyone, with a few exceptions like bread for sandwiches. All the pizza, pasta, cookies, pancakes, muffins, etc. I make are gluten-free and everyone eats them and enjoys them. It saves me the hassle of making separate food and cuts out the "that's mine, you eat yours" stuff. This also might make your daughter feel more "normal" at home.

I buy the frozen crusts from Kinnikinnick - we love them!

I have a problem with trying to make only gluten free food:

My son will not touch it. If it says gluten free he automatically wont go near it. I've even tried tricking him but he always seems to be able to taste the diffrence. He is very particular with diffrent textures in his mouth. I wish he would I think it might help his tummy troubles.

For the most part (suppers) I cook basic meal--meat ,a veggie(usually broccoli or tomato its the only ones my son will eat)and rice or potatoes(son will only eat rice) I will make a few gluten free Turkish dishes like garbonzo beans (but I have to leave out or cut down the beans--again son) I do make two of her favorite dessert that were also mine growing up Rice pudding and Chicken pudding(Turkish) my son dislikes these too. So with so many diffrent likes and dislikes it hard to please all the people all the time. When we have something that the other doesn't like I tell them to have a bowl of cereal. :unsure:

This is just the way I roll, but, I'd tell him that if he doesn't like what is presented to him then he can make something equally nutritious himself. At least he'd learn how to cook :)

I agree, being a single mom would be hard enough without adding the job of "short order cook" ontop of everything.

Kids won't starve themselves. If the kiddo doesn't like what you fix, he can either not eat, fix himself something, or eat what was cooked.

As far as Dad goes. If you have a official diagnosis and dear daddy isn't following the diet. He is endangering his child!! He is putting the welfare of his child in danger. Here in the U.S. thats a crime. Something to think about.........

Even when I was a 6 year old, I could manage rice and scrambled eggs without close supervision. I don't think we give kids enough credit for being able to do things themselves. My 9y/o girl scouts dropped their jaws when I told them they would be slicing vegetables themselves to make spaghetti sauce. A little safety training and guidance and they were just fine, and had an awesome sense of independence afterward. :)

I agree with the Chebe. It tastes like real chewy pizza crust!!

Both my kids can cook(my son wants to be a chef) It's just not easy getting them to agree on what I'm cooking. Both know they are free to fix whatever they want as long as they clean up after themselves. It does get crazy having two people trying to prepare something in our small kitchen. Plus without child support money gets tight so the end of the month choices are limited and making a bunch of diffrent foods is not in our budget, so I try to make things that they both like and can eat in one meal. It does make Coley feel special when she can have something he dosn't have an equal to at the time (like the pizza I'm going to make her!) Thank you for all y'alls input I really appreciate it :) Got to go make dinner :D

I would suggest you continue to plan meals as you seem to be doing, but cut back on or eliminate entirely the gluten free food substitutes. Just provide a greater quantity of the healthy foods you've been providing. There are plenty of recipes for gluten-free baked goods such as muffins and cookies better than any store-bought.

lonewolf Collaborator

A few more suggestions about naturally gluten-free food that they both might like:

Tacos

Taco salad

Nachos with bean dip

Spaghetti or Lasagne with Tinyada pasta (I dare your son to be able to tell the difference)

Beef or chicken stew

Chicken and rice soup

Meatloaf and mashed potatoes (use gluten-free bread or crispy rice cereal instead of bread crumbs)

Stir fried chicken, vegies and rice

Hamburgers and hotdogs - regular bun for him, rice bread for her

Good luck! Hope your pizza turns out well!

Pizza was the hardest thing for me to make. I tried at least 8 different recipes and my 12-year old son didn't like any of them. I finally tried Bette Hagman's version and got rave reviews. I make this 2-3 times per month, for the whole family. I also make it for dinner any time my son has a friend spend the night.

The best part is you can make extra crusts and freeze them. I make a lot of small ones (8") so he can have one for lunch once in awhile when everyone else is having something else.

Once a month they have Pizza Hut for school lunch. I can I pull a crust out of the freezer, top it and cook it up in 15 minutes and deliver it to my son at school. Or if you are really in a hurry you can microwave it and have it in 2-3 minutes! My son loves it because he gets a bigger piece with more pepperoni!

Pizza

Bette Hagman's recipe

1 1/2 cups pizza flour mix

3 tbsp almond meal or milk powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 packet yeast

3/4 cup warm water

2 egg whites

1 1/2 tbsp olive oil

1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar

mix well on high 3 1/2 minutes

very sticky - spread thin with very wet hands

smooth onto well-greased pizza pans

let rise 10 minutes

Bake 400 F for 10 minutes

can freeze extras after first bake

Toppings

Hunts Traditional spaghetti sauce

Mozzarella cheese

Hormel Pepperoni

Bake additional at 400 F

20-25 minutes for large

15-20 minutes for medium

10-12 minutes for small

makes 2 medium or 1 large & 1 small

Pizza flour mix

3 1/2 cups white rice flour

2 1/2 cups tapioca flour

2 tbsp Xanthan gum

2 7-gram packets gelatin

2 tbsp Egg Replacer

1/4 cup sugar

Note: flour mix is shelf stable

I've had several attempts at making a pizza dough. I didn't take the time to read the posts here, so I hope I'm not being repetative. I LOVE the Gluten Free Pantry french bread and pizza mix! It doesn't need to rise or anything! I made a small pizza and a couple of mini loaves of the bread with it! It was yummy! I also tried Bette Hagman's Quick pizza recipe, and I felt like it called for way too much corn meal. All I could taste was corn bread. Plus I spread it thin and it still rose like a huge pancake! I also like Amy's pizzas...but I know some people don't prefer the crust too much.

      Hello everyone. I am Elena and am 38 years old. I suspect I have a gluten intolerance even if my celiac panel is ok. I have the following symptoms : facial flushing, Red dots not bumps în face, bloating abdominal distension, hair loss, depression anxiety even with meds and even bipolar. Fatigue extreme to the point of not being able to work. All of these after I eat gluten. Could I have non celiac gluten sensitivity? Thanks anyone else with these symptoms?

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:
