Making Your Own Pizza Dough And Sauce

I got a pizza stone from Pampered Chef and was going to make my own gluten-free pizza dough. Has anyone tried doing this on a pizza stone? I was going to use the recipe in Annalise Roberts book, but the instructions are for on a baking sheet or directly on the oven rack and I'm wondering if it's a bad idea to do it on the stone.

Also, anyone have recipes for making pizza sauce?

I'm also interested in a pizza sauce recipie. I do use a jarred pizza sauce that is gluten-free. It is called Enrico's All Natural Pizza Sauce. It says gluten-free right on the label. I've purchased it from Whole Foods and Meijer's which is like a Super Kmart.

Bob's Red Mill makes a great gluten-free pizza mix. We haven't tried it on a stone, but it is awesome on a normal pizza tray. Can't imagine it would be any different on a pizza stone. Lucky you for getting one from pampered chef...I'm jealous.

No experience with a stone but if it were me I'd just try putting a layer of parchment paper between the stone and the dough for the first time to see how it reacts.

Good luck!

Oh how I used to love my pizza stone!! I did go out and buy a new stone so I could make my daughter pizza but just recently gave up and went out and bought a tray!

The recipe for foldable NY style pizza crust that was posted recently is really excellent- however, like most gluten-free breads, the dough is very wet and hard to form with hands (way too sticky). So, it is easier to throw it on a pan and then just mash it down.

If I were to go back to the stone I think I would try the parchment paper idea, then make the dough into a ball and put a large piece of plastic wrap over it then roll it out with a rolling pin. The problem with all of this is that the stone is best used really HOT - like preheated with the oven to close to 500 degrees. So taking it out of the oven to perform this operation would be difficult.

Another possibility is to use a pizza piel (is that how you spell it? - the long paddle thingy) and put the parchment paper on the piel then do the pizza on top and slide the whole thing onto the stone in the oven. I am not sure I am actually making any sense this morning but hope this helps.

Good luck!

I just wanted to ditto Barb's recommendation of the NY style foldable crust recipe. It's by far the best pizza crust we've tried yet and it's really simple to make. I don't think I will ever use another pizza recipe.

Sorry, I dont' have a recipe for pizza sauce. I use Great Value brand's sauce and it's really good and inexpensive too. Oh wait, I do sometimes use GV brand no salt added tomato sauce and then add oregano, garlic, and onion powder until it tastes right. It's much easier to just buy the pizza sauce though.

I used to put a little cornmeal on the pizza stone to prevent the dough from sticking. It's been a long time, but I think I put cornmeal on my cutting board and formed the pizza on that and then slid it onto the pizza stone.

I make pizza a lot and the dough is very wet.

I recently got a pizza stone and it is hard to use, but really cooks the crust well. You'll have to decide if the extra trouble is worth it or not.

Put a lot of olive oil on the stone first.

Spray a large wax paper with Pam and spread out most of the dough on it, then flip it over onto the stone and finish spreading it out by hand.

Cook about 10 minutes or until lightly browned on top.

Take out of the oven and use a sharp spatula to pry the crust up from the stone. This takes a few minutes - work your way around from the edge inward.

Turn the crust upside down on the stone and bake about another 5 minutes. Then take out, flip back over, top and finish baking as usual.

The result is a well-cooked crust that stays together and you can pick up and eat. My whole family really loves it. As the stone gets seasoned with more use, the whole process becomes easier (it becomes more non-stick).

Good luck!

here's another idea . . . (yeah, I'm getting a lot done today, NOT)

Take a look at that incredibly yummy NY pizza dough recipe. It calls for you to bake the crust for about 20 min. first and then 10 min. with the toppings on.

Maybe it would work well to make the crust in the pan - cook for 20 minutes. Then remove from over, put the pre-cooked crust on a cutting board or pizza piel and put your toppings on then slide it onto the heated pizza stone in the oven. And, yes, a bit of corn meal is a good idea to prevent sticking.

But I think this two step idea will work well. The dough won't be sticky and you will still be able to get that great crispy pizza stone pizza in the final product. It is a little "worky" but what gluten-free recipe isn't?! ;)

I like the Brazillian cheese bread for crust.

I made the "New York Style" crust on my pizza stone several times last week.(we really liked it!). I just oiled my stone and then put the dough on while the stone was cold. I used a lot of brown rice flour to pat the dough down and even used my pampered chef roller thing to roll it all out to the edges. This does require a good amount of flour however because the dough is really sticky. I baked the crust for about 15 minutes in a preheated oven, topped it and then baked it for maybe another 10 minutes-til it was bubbly. For my sauce I just take a small can of tomato sauce and add garlic, salt and pepper, basil and lots of oregano until it tastes good to me. We don't like a lot of sauce so this works great for us and I never have to worry about the sauce going bad in my fridge because I don't use it all. I have also just done the prebake with the crust on my stone and then let it cool, wrapped it and put it in the freezer for later.

I use a small can of tomato paste, and thin it to the consistency I want with V8. then add a clove of minced garlic and Italian herb blend.

I'll bet canned crushed tomatoes will be the right consistency. Add some garlic and herbs and we'll head over for lunch! :lol:

      Thanks again for the detailed explanation. Just to clarify, I actually did have my initial tests done while I was still consuming gluten. I stopped eating gluten only after those tests were completed, and it has now been about 70 days since I went gluten-free. I understand the limitations around diagnosing NCGS and the importance of antibody testing and biopsy for celiac disease. Unfortunately, where I live, access to comprehensive testing (including total IgA and endoscopy with biopsy) is limited, which makes things more complicated. Your explanation about small-bowel damage, nutrient absorption, and iron-deficiency anemia still aligns closely with my history, and it’s been very helpful in understanding what may be going on. I don't wanna get Endoscopy and I can't start eating Gluten again because it's hurt really with severe diarrhea.  I appreciate you taking the time to share such detailed and informative guidance. Thank you so much for this detailed and thoughtful response. I really appreciate you pointing out the relationship between anemia and antibody patterns, and how the high DGP IgG still supports celiac disease in my case. A gluten challenge isn’t something I feel safe attempting due to how severe my reactions were, so your suggestion about genetic testing makes a lot of sense. I’ll look into whether HLA testing is available where I live and discuss it with my doctor. I also appreciate you mentioning gastrointestinal beriberi and thiamine deficiency. This isn’t something any of my doctors have discussed with me, and given my symptoms and nutritional history, it’s definitely worth raising with them. I’ll also ask about correcting deficiencies more comprehensively, including B vitamins alongside iron. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and taking the time to help. I’ll update the forum as I make progress.

      Blood tests for thiamine are unreliable.  The nutrients from your food get absorbed into the bloodstream and travel around the body.  So, a steak dinner can falsely raise thiamine blood levels in the following days.  Besides, thiamine is utilized inside cells where stores of thiamine are impossible to measure. A better test to ask for is the Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test.  But even that test has been questioned as to accuracy.  It is expensive and takes time to do.   Because of the discrepancies with thiamine tests and urgency with correcting thiamine deficiency, the World Health Organization recommends giving thiamine for several weeks and looking for health improvement.  Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.   Many doctors are not given sufficient education in nutrition and deficiency symptoms, and may not be familiar with how often they occur in Celiac disease.  B12 and Vitamin D can be stored for as long as a year in the liver, so not having deficiencies in these two vitamins is not a good indicator of the status of the other seven water soluble B vitamins.  It is possible to have deficiency symptoms BEFORE there's changes in the blood levels.   Ask your doctor about Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine that is better absorbed than Thiamine Mononitrate.  Thiamine Mononitrate is used in many vitamins because it is shelf-stable, a form of thiamine that won't break down sitting around on a store shelf.  This form is difficult for the body to turn into a usable form.  Only thirty percent is absorbed in the intestine, and less is actually used.   Thiamine interacts with all of the other B vitamins, so they should all be supplemented together.  Magnesium is needed to make life sustaining enzymes with thiamine, so a magnesium supplement should be added if magnesium levels are low.   Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  There's no harm in trying.

      Neither of them were anemic 6 months after the Celiac diagnosis. His other vitamin levels (d, B12) were never low. My daughters levels were normal after the first 6 months. Is the thiamine test just called thiamine? 
    • knitty kitty
      Yes, I do think they need a Thiamine supplement at least. Especially since they eat red meat only occasionally. Most fruits and vegetables are not good sources of Thiamine.  Legumes (beans) do contain thiamine.  Fruits and veggies do have some of the other B vitamins, but thiamine B 1 and  Cobalamine B12 are mostly found in meats.  Meat, especially organ meats like liver, are the best sources of Thiamine, B12, and the six other B vitamins and important minerals like iron.   Thiamine has antibacterial and antiviral properties.  Thiamine is important to our immune systems.  We need more thiamine when we're physically ill or injured, when we're under stress emotionally, and when we exercise, especially outside in hot weather.  We need thiamine and other B vitamins like Niacin B 3 to keep our gastrointestinal tract healthy.  We can't store thiamine for very long.  We can get low in thiamine within three days.  Symptoms can appear suddenly when a high carbohydrate diet is consumed.  (Rice and beans are high in carbohydrates.)  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so symptoms can wax and wane depending on what one eats.  The earliest symptoms like fatigue and anxiety are easily contributed to other things or life events and dismissed.   Correcting nutritional deficiencies needs to be done quickly, especially in children, so their growth isn't stunted.  Nutritional deficiencies can affect intelligence.  Vitamin D deficiency can cause short stature and poor bone formation.   Is your son taking anything for the anemia?  Is the anemia caused by B12 or iron deficiency?

      Thank you! That's helpful. My kids eat very little processed food. Tons of fruit, vegetables, cheese, eggs and occasional red meat. We do a lot of rice and bean bowls, stir fry, etc.  Do you think with all the fruits and vegetables they need a vitamin supplement? I feel like their diet is pretty healthy and balanced with very limited processed food. The only processed food they eat regularly is a bowl of Cheerios here and there.  Could shaking legs be a symptom of just a one-time gluten exposure? I guess there's no way to know for sure if they're getting absolutely zero exposure because they do go to school a couple times a week. We do homeschool but my son does a shared school 2x a week and my daughter does a morning Pre-K 3 x a week.  At home our entire house is strictly gluten free and it is extremely rare for us to eat out. If we eat at someone else's house I usually just bring their food. When we have play dates we bring all the snacks, etc. I try to be really careful since they're still growing. They also, of course, catch kids viruses all the time so I  want to make sure I know whether they're just sick or they've had gluten. It can be pretty confusing when they're pretty young to even be explaining their symptoms!
