I made the Chebe Pizza Mix for dinner tonight. I followed the package directory but substituted an egg substitute instead of using eggs. My pizza dough was goey and tasted awful! I've had this before when I have made bread in the bread maker. Has anyone ever used this before? Does anyone have any idea why I ended up with pizza dough that was not cooked and just gooey? Please Help! I am desperate for pizza!!!

Did you bake the crust before adding toppings?

I have found with Chebe pizza mix, which I use at least once a week, that you have to cook it FAR longer than the bag actually says...I also have to add more milk to get it to the proper consistancey (or milk substitute), I've always used the eggs so I can't speak on that part, but maybe next time if it still seems super gooey, just keep it cooking! Good luck!!

I did bake the crust before adding the toppings. I only baked it for the time they said though so next time I will have to bake it alot longer. I was so looking forward to pizza tonight but I ended up throwing it away instead! :( Do all the Chebe pizza mixes have the flavored crusts? There was alot more seasonings in it than I am used to! I just want a regular pizza like you get at a pizza place. This has been the hardest food for me to give up! :blink: Thanks for letting me whine about missing my pizza and for your help in making it better next time!!

did you have it in a green bag or a red bag? I get the red bag and it doesn't have any seasoning added to it... I also have had to either add more liquid or cheese and bake it longer... sometimes I bake them up and then freeze them and then just top them later...

I went through the pizza crust ordeal a few weeks ago.

After several miserable failed attempts at making my own, I was able to locate a store in my neighborhood that sells the Kinnickinnick frozen crusts.

I LOVE them. My boyfriend and my best friend both like them better than regular pizza crust. Which means I have to share... :P

While my dream of making my own pizza crust is still on the back burner, I am SO happy to have found a substitute...and a delicious one at that!

Just a thought -

Does the Kinnickinnick have soy in it at all? We have to avoid this. I haven't been able to find any Kinnickinnck products at stores near us.

Nini - I had the green bag of pizza mix. Didn't even realize it came in a red bag without seasoning. I will lok for that next time as that sounds much better than what we had!

Thanks for your help!

I've never had any issues with this mix. Could it have been the egg replacer perhaps? Anyone else here use egg replacer in a chebe mix?

Sorry for your problem with Chebe pizza mix. I haven't tried it yet, but I tried the bread mix and made the so called cinnamon rolls. The taste was good, but the rolls were tiny and hardened to be leather like. Had to throw the whole thing out. Almost broke a tooth biting into one!

Just wanted to add my 2 cents worth. I tried the Chebe pizza mix today. I tried baking it longer like someone suggested but followed all of the instructions exactly otherwise. I admit that I substituted EnerG Egg Replacer for the eggs and didn't put in the optional cheese because of allergies. Apparently that REALLY matters. The dough seemed nice. I baked it for at least 30 minutes first. But when I put on the toppings and did the final baking, it turned into a rubbery mass that was inedible. I have successfully made the breadsticks and the cinnamon rolls in the past before I knew I was allergic to milk and eggs. I don't know what's wrong with this one -or if it's something I did wrong.

So I would have to say that it definitely DOES NOT work with egg substitute and without shredded cheese. I was honestly shocked at how bad it was. Whew! :blink:

They are soy free. I'm soy allergic <_< (this is new and I'm still grumpy) and I can still eat them just fine. And I just checked the ingredients on the bags in my freezer to double check.

They are gluten-free/CF/SF. :)

I have had fair results with the Chebe pizza mix. With the all-purpose Chebe I had a great turnout on a Sub roll type bun I created. I made it exactly as the recipe said, except I added a little more milk, and a teaspoon of baking powder. I left it in about 25 minutes, and right before it was competely cooled, I cut it down the middle. My husband really enjoyed his sandwich and said he wants it every week. As far as a good pizza crust, I use spelt flour and this recipe. I omitted the herbs though, but I do add the garlic powder. It always turns out well and makes enough for two good-size pizzas.

      Wow KK, thank you so much for all your attached info. I had a very quick scan but will read more in depth later.  The one concerning corticosteroid use is very interesting. That would relate to secondary adrenal insufficiency I think , ie AI caused by steroids such as taken long term for eg asthma. I have primary autoimmune AI, my adrenals are atrophied, no chance if recovery there. But I am in touch with some secondaries, so something to bear in mind. .  Niacin B3 Very interesting too. Must have a good read about that.  Im sure lots of questions will arise as I progress with dermatitis herpetiformis. In the mean time, thanks for your help.

      Thank you all for your advice and the dermatitis herpetiformis article. The latter made me realise I had stopped taking my antihistamine, which I will restart today. The Dapsone has cleared the rash entirely but I still get quite a bit itching, absolutely nothing to see though. I know its notoriously hard to clear and its still relatively early days for me.  The iodine issue is very interesting. I do eat quite a bit of salt because I have Addison's disease and sodium retention is an issue. I also have autoimmune hypothyroidism, not sure how a low iodine diet would play into that? Because of my Addison's I am totally steroid dependent, I take steroids 4 x daily and cannot mount any defence against inflammation. I need to increase my meds for that. Now that I know what is wrong I can do just that if Im having a bad day. Life is very sweet, just so damn complicated sometimes! Hey ho, onwards. Thank you again for your advice.

      So, essentially all of the nutrition in the food we eat is absorbed through the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestinal track that is damaged by celiac disease. This villous lining is composed of billions of finger-like projections that create a huge amount of surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the celiac person, when gluten is consumed, it triggers an autoimmune reaction in this area which, of course, generates inflammation. The antibodies connected with this inflammation is what the celiac blood tests are designed to detect but this inflammation, over time, wears down the finger-like projections of the villous lining. Of course, when this proceeds for an extended period of time, greatly reduces the absorption efficiency of the villous lining and often results in many and various nutrient deficiency-related health issues. Classic examples would be osteoporosis and iron deficiency. But there are many more. Low D3 levels is a well-known celiac-caused nutritional deficiency. So is low B12. All the B vitamins in fact. Magnesium, zinc, etc.  Celiac disease can also cause liver inflammation. You mention elevated ALP levels. Elevated liver enzymes over a period of 13 years was what led to my celiac diagnosis. Within three months of going gluten free my liver enzymes normalized. I had elevated AST and ALT. The development of sensitivities to other food proteins is very common in the celiac population. Most common cross reactive foods are dairy and oats but eggs, soy and corn are also relatively common offenders. Lactose intolerance is also common in the celiac population because of damage to the SB lining.  Eggs when they are scrambled or fried give me a gut ache. But when I poach them, they do not. The steam and heat of poaching causes a hydrolysis process that alters the protein in the egg. They don't bother me in baked goods either so I assume the same process is at work. I bought a plastic poacher on Amazon to make poaching very easy. All this to say that many of the issues you describe could be caused by celiac disease.

      thank you so much for your detailed and extremely helpful reply!! I can say with absolute certainty that the less gluten containing products I've eaten over the past several years, the better I've felt.   I wasn't avoiding gluten, I was avoiding refined grains (and most processed foods) as well as anything that made me feel bad when I ate it. It's the same reason I gave up dairy and eggs- they make me feel ill.  I do have a bit of a sugar addiction lol so a lot of times I wasn't sure if it was the refined grains that I was eating - or the sugar. So from time to time I might have a cookie or something but I've learned how to make wonderful cookies and golden brownies with BEANS!! and no refined sugar - I use date paste instead. Pizza made me so ill- but I thought it was probably the cheese. I gave up pizza and haven't missed it. the one time I tried a slice I felt so bad I knew I'd never touch it again. I stopped eating wheat pasta at least 3 yrs ago- just didn't feel well after eating it. I tried chick pea pasta and a few others and discovered I like the brown rice pasta. I still don't eat a lot of pasta but it's nice for a change when I want something easy. TBH over the years I've wondered sometimes if I might be gluten intolerant but really believed it was not possible for me to have celiac disease. NOW I need to know for sure- because I'm in the middle of a long process of trying to find out why I have a high parathyroid level (NOT the thyroid- but rather the 4 glands that control the calcium balance in your body) I have had a hard time getting my vit D level up, my serum calcium has run on the low side of normal for many years... and now I am losing calcium from my bones and excreting it in my urine (some sort of renal calcium leak) Also have a high ALP since 2014. And now rapidly worsening bone density.  I still do not have a firm diagnosis. Could be secondary HPT (but secondary to what? we need to know) It could be early primary HPT. I am spilling calcium in my urine but is that caused by the high parathyroid hormone or is it the reason my PTH is high>? there are multiple feedback loops for this condition.    so I will keep eating the bread and some wheat germ that does not seem to bother me too much (it hasn't got enough gluten to use just wheat germ)    but I'm curious- if you don't have a strong reaction to a product- like me and wheat germ- does that mean it's ok to eat or is it still causing harm even if you don't have any obvious symptoms? I guess what you are saying about silent celiac makes it likely that you can have no symptoms and still have the harm... but geez! you'd think they'd come up with a way to test for this that didn't require you to consume something that makes you sick! I worry about the complications I've been reading about- different kinds of cancers etc. also wondering- are there degrees of celiac disease?  is there any correlation between symptoms and the amnt of damage to your intestines? I also need a firm diagnosis because I have an identical twin sister ... so if I have celiac, she has it too- or at least the genetic make up for having it. I did have a VERY major stress to my body in 2014-2016 time frame .. lost 50lbs in a short period of time and had severe symptoms from acute protracted withdrawal off an SSRI drug (that I'd been given an unethically high dose of, by a dr who has since lost his license)  Going off the drug was a good thing and in many ways my health improved dramatically- just losing 50lbs was helpful but I also went  off almost a dozen different medications, totally changed my diet and have been doing pretty well except for the past 3-4 yrs when the symptoms related to the parathyroid issue cropped up. It is likely that I had low vit D for some time and that caused me a lot of symptoms. The endo now tells me that low vit D can be caused by celiac disease so I need to know for sure! thank you for all that great and useful information!!!
