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...

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet which is really strict for a while, but later other foods can be added back into your diet.  Following the AIP diet strictly allows you digestive system to heal and the inflammation to calm down.  Sort of like feeding a sick baby easy to digest food instead of spicy pizza.   It's important to get the inflammation down because chronic inflammation leads to other health problems.  Histamine is released as part of the autoimmune response to gluten.  High histamine levels make you feel bad and can cause breathing problems (worsening asthma), cardiovascular problems (tachycardia), and other autoimmune diseases (Hashimoto's thyroiditis, diabetes) and even mental health problems. Following the low histamine version of the AIP diet allows the body to clear the histamine from our bodies.  Some foods are high in histamine.  Avoiding these makes it easier for our bodies to clear the histamine released after a gluten exposure.   Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system and calm it down.  Vitamin D is frequently low in Celiacs.  The B Complex vitamins and Vitamin C are needed to clear histamine.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals boosts your intestines' ability to absorb them while healing.   Keep in mind that gluten-free facsimile foods, like gluten-free bread, are not enriched with added vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts are.   They are empty calories, no nutritional value, which use up your B vitamins in order to turn the calories into fuel for the body to function.   Talk to your doctor or nutritionist about supplementing while healing.  Take a good B Complex and extra Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine (shown to promote gut health).  Most B Complex vitamins contain thiamine mononitrate which the body cannot utilize.  Meats and liver are good sources of B vitamins.   Dr. Sarah Ballantyne wrote the book, the Paleo Approach.  She's a Celiac herself.  Her book explains a lot.   I'm so glad you're feeling better and finding your balance!

      So I should not eat my gluten free bread?  I will try the vitamins.  Thank you all so very much for your ideas and understanding.  I'm feeling better today and have gathered back my composure!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Some people prefer eating gluten before bed, then sleeping through the worst symptoms at night.  You might want to try that and see if that makes any difference.   Several slices of toast for breakfast sounds okay.  Just try to work up to the Ten grams of gluten.  Cookies might only have a half of a gram of gluten.  The weight of the whole cookie is not the same as the amount of gluten in it.  So do try to eat bread things with big bubbles, like cinnamon rolls.   Yeah, I'm familiar with the "death warmed over" feeling.  I hope you get the genetic test results quickly.  I despise how we have to make ourselves sick to get a diagnosis.  Hang in there, sweetie, the tribe is supporting you.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      @knitty kitty  Thank you very much for the advice. I did the exam this morning, my doctor actually suggested me to take something called "Celiac duo test" in which I first do the genetic test and if it's positive, then I'll have to do the antigen blood test. I have to attend 1 month until my results are ready, so I have some weeks to increase the amount of gluten I eat daily. It will be hard because my health is not the best right now, but I also did a blood test to cheek my nutritional deficiencies. The results will arrive on Tuesday, so I can ask my doctor what should I do to control my symptoms and blood levels during this month. For now I'm resting and paying attention to what I eat— at least I don’t look like a vampire who just woke up, like I did yesterday. I'm still scared because is the first time I've felt this sick, but this is the right moment to turn things around for the better.  I realized that if I eat gluten at lunch I cannot finish the day properly, I become severely tired and sometimes my stomach hurts a lot - let's not talk about the bloating that starts later. Do you think is it ok to eat gluten just in the morning, like some cookies and slices of bread for breakfast?
