Last night I made a calzone with the Brazilian brand Chebe bread. Wow! It had the tecture and chewiness of a real calzone. Just follow the recipe for the bread but take a rolling pin and flatten it as much as you can and then fill it up with cheese, sauce, and pepperoni. Good stuff!

I had that for dinner two nights ago! I love that stuff! I'm going to try recreating the mix with just tapioca flour at home, I need to start cutting back on my food budget....

I haven't had much luck recreating chebe from scratch. If you do come up with a recipe I'd love to hear about it.

I have been ordering the "No Frills" Chebe mix. It is the chebe mix in bulk instead of the individual packages. You have to measure it out, but that only takes a second and it is about half the price of the packages. If you are interested, here is the Open Original Shared Link. You have to scroll all the way down to the bottom to see the "no frills" options. We love chebe, and I get to use it a lot more often when I am not worrying about it bankrupting us. :)

We tried the Chebe pizza mix. Not so much. <_<

Although, I need to add the differential that my cooking skills aren't the greatest.

For pizza crust, we like namaste pizza crust. A bag makes two 13 x9 pans of pizza.

Thanks for the calzone tip though I'll have to try it.

I'll have to try that next. I miss pizza! I feel so bad having regular pizza when I know my DD can't. There's a gluten-free bakery who makes the most delightful gluten-free crust (sells it to local restaurants too) but it is WAY across town from me. I might just have to make the trek!

4 7" premade pizza crusts for $6.00!! Can't beat that! But it takes more than $6 in gas to drive there!

Here's a great crust that we make. I usually double it to make 2 large pizzas for my family of 5.

Pizza Dough

1 Tbsp yeast

2/3 c warm water -- plus 1 Tbsp

1 1/4 c rice flour

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 c tapioca starch

1/4 c potato starch

1 tsp xanthan gum

1/8 c sugar

1 egg

1 1/2 Tbsps corn oil

1 tsp cider vinegar

Proof yeast in warm water with a pinch of sugar. Combine dry ingredients.

Add eggs, oil, vinegar and then proofed yeast. Beat on high speed for 3

minutes. Dough will be sticky and wet, more like cookie dough. Turn out

onto board dusted lightly with potato starch. Coat dough just enough so

it doesn't stick to hands. Do not knead or add too much starch that will

make dough too heavy to rise, the moister the better. Line cookie pan or

pizza pan with parchment paper. Gently pat out dough to desired thickness,

just barely coating hands as needed. Cover with saran and let rise one

hour. Bake 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes after you add desired toppings.

Will just barely brown. Makes 1 large or 4 individual pizzas (kid's size)

**I don't use parchment, but I do spray the pan and then sprinkle with cornmeal.

I make calzones with the Chebe pizza mix all the time...honestly if it's cooked right, I don't know how everyone doesn't like it!! I was shocked to see so many negative comments about Chebe (on other threads)...it takes a good trial to see just how much liquid to put in and everything to make it come out great!!

I agree, the Namaste brand crust is the best I've had to date. The chebe pizza isn't nearly as good as cooking it as a calzone. Not sure why.

I love my chebe bread but since I started dieting and finally realized how many calories are in each bag and I eat them in two sittings (bread or rolls, two different days, pizza I eat half at a time), I have been staying away but I have been really craving it for a few weeks now. I think I will give in this weekend and treat myself.

Yeah, for some reason Chebe has to have a 'dry' outside in the oven to respond well. Makes lovely breadsticks!

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
