I Had Pizza Today!

I am so excited, I couldn't wait to tell everyone--I made Roben Ryberg's pizza crust, topped it with Muir Glen Tomato Sauce, Hormel Pepperonni, sliced black olives and grated Pecorino Romano cheese (sheep's milk).

I swear, I haven't had pizza in at least a year and a half, and this crust looked so easy to make I thought what the heck! I used only potato starch, so it was grain free. The whole thing went together in about 10 minutes.

The best part is, it was fantastic!! While it was baking, it smelled delicious and tasted even better. Even my husband liked it. The two of us ate the whole thing :D

I actually have that "pizza burn" on the roof of my mouth :lol: Haven't had that in a long time!

JerseyAngel,

Good for you! I have been using the personal size frozen crusts from Glutino, and they aren't bad. But I would love to try a homemade crust. Would you mind sharing the recipe that you used?

Thanks,

Tracy

Congrats on the yummy pizza! I've been trying different packaged mixes, but have yet to find one that suit's my pizza snob pallet. The other night I gave up and made apizza bagel from a Glutino Bagel. It was actually the best pizza I have had since going gluten-free! The best part was, there was no mess to clean up!

This is from "The Gluten-Free Kitchen" by Roben Ryberg--I highly recommend this book!!

PIZZA CRUST

1 packet yeast (1 tbsp.)

3/4 cup milk at room temperature (I used Vance's Dari Free)

1/2 cup potato starch

3/4 cup cornstarch (I used all potato starch)

1 tbsp. xanthan gum

1/4 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 cup shortening (I used Spectrum Organic)

Preheat oven to 375. In small bowl, combine yeast and milk. Stir to dissolve yeast. Set aside.

In medium bowl, combine all dry ingredients and shortening. Mix well.

To dry ingredients, slowly add milk/yeast mixture. Mix well. Dough will look wet, thick and pasty but is quite workable if you spray your hands with non stick spray or keep your hands damp with water. This is a soft dough.

Roll or pat dough into a lightly greased baking tin or pizza pan. For a thick crust, pat out dough to 1/4 inch thickness. For a thin crust, pat out dough to 1/8 inch thickness. A 12 inch circle will produce a "hand-tossed" thickness--not too thick, not too thin.

Top as desired.

Bake 15-25 minutes, until crust is lightly browned. Use a spatula to lift up the pizza to check for light browning on the bottom of the crust the first time you make it.

(I did not need to wet or grease my hands at all--I patted the dough into a 12 inch pizza pan greased with Shortening.)

Congrats Patti! I think I will give yours a try. I have been using Carol Fensters pizza made with rice flour and tapioca flour, I make it almost everyday. I need a change! I still like hers.. but I am going to give yours a try.

Thanks!

Aargh! You're killing me with those yummy toppings! :lol:

Thanks much for the recommendation. I had completely given up on having pizza again since I figured the crust is way too delicate for gluten-free flour mixes. Plus, gluten-free cooking is such an investment that I don't make anything unless someone says it pretty good first. Cowardly of me, I know. ;)

Oh my that seems even easy enough for me to make Patti - lol! I just got some cornstarch and zanthum gum so I think all I need is the potato starch and the shortening. I'm going to have to give this a try this weekend. Thanks for sharing! So happy for you too!

I made this for lunch yesterday. It tasted ok, but I couldn't help noticing that I could feel the slipperiness of the xanthan gum on the tip of my tongue as I ate. Then last night I realized I had blisters and inflamed taste buds on the tip of my tongue! This morning they have gone down a little bit, but there are more of them now. I guess I'm going to throw away those leftovers...

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result. I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned? Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous...

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease...

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especia...

      nothing has changed

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can t...

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can take 12–24 months (sometimes longer) for antibodies and the intestinal lining to fully heal, particularly in teens and young adults. Eating gluten again to “test” things isn’t recommended and won’t give you clear answers—it’s far more likely to cause harm than clarity. Weight not changing is also very common in celiac and doesn’t rule anything out. Please know that your frustration and sadness matter; this adjustment is hard, and feeling stuck can really affect mental health. You deserve support, and if you can, reaching out to a GI dietitian or mental health professional familiar with chronic illness could really help you through this phase. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people.
