Crispy Pizza Crust

Hello,

I really don't like many of the breads/pizza crusts or baked goods I've tried. I cannot stand feeling like I'm eating a flopped attempt at these items.

Is there such a thing as a crispy pizza crust? I love fried corn tortillas and rice crackers and would like to know if any of you ever tried making a pizza crust recipe from primarily corn flour?

I've even used the corn tortillas with sauce and cheese and like it much better than any crust.

Thank you!

This is my pizza crust recipe. When I want a really crispy crust, I use a pizza pan with holes in it instead of the 9 x 13 pan, spray it with PAM, and dust it with corn meal.

gluten-free Pizza Crust

1 packet yeast (about 1 tablespoon)

3/4 cup milk, room temperature

1/2 cup potato starch

3/4 cup cornstarch

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoons baking powder

1 tablespoon xanthan gum

I have used a brown rice wrap to make a pizza. It ends up being a crispy crust.

My son likes the Kinnikinnick crusts. I rub a generous amount of olive oil on a cookie sheet and prebake the crust at 375 degrees for 5-10 min. Then I add toppings and bake for another couple minutes. This should help with any premade crusts.

The above recipe sounds great. I think I'll try it.

Does anyone else find homemade gluten free pizza crusts...bland? :rolleyes: I even add garlic and pizza seasoning. I think it's the rice flour. Next time I try to make pizza I will replace a significant part of the rice flour with corn and sweet rice flour. Anyone else have ideas?

I make the same one Fiddle Faddle does--I leave out the optional seasonnings. It's very good.

OH!!! I have THE answer for you....I am from St. Louis originally and the Kinnikinik crusts are too thick and sweet for a really good pizza for me.

I found Chebe mixes to be AWESOME......better than when I was baking WITH gluten....... Just about any of the flavors work. I follow the directions on the back as far as mixing goes....then seperate the dough into 2 balls. Roll it out really, really thin on parchement paper and prebake until it is a slightly golden on top, flip it over and bake a fw more minutes, THEN add your toppings........

Seriously, this is the BEST crispy pizza crust ever.......I also use this to make crackers for myself. I cut it with a pizza cutter into bite size pcs and keep flipping and baking until they are brown, then let them cool and they are yummmmmmy crackers!!

I am a laaaazy baker, so have never tried a crust yet...

but I LOVE LOVE LOVE Amy's Cheese/Rice Crust pizza. Kinda pricey (about $7 at my Whole Foods), but it's my treat about once or twice a month. I add fresh basil and tomatoes, adn if you bake it directly on the rack, it is really light and crispy. I actually seriously prefer it to regular pizza.

Thanks so much for all the suggestions.

Fiddle Faddle, I actually have all the ingredients for the recipe you mentioned so I will try that first.

My sister makes rolls from Chebe bread and loves it, but I don't think she ever did pizza crust with it. I haven't found that locally yet.

I think the local store had the Kinnikinnick crusts but I remember thinking how expensive it was.

I've tried the glutino ones and made my own out of a pizza crust mix I bought (can't remember which one) and didn't like either.

Thanks again - I can't wait to try these ideas.

I've tried Amy's Gluten Free Rice Crust Pizza (crust is rice and sunflower seeds) a couple of times and it comes out crispy for me also.

I baked it on a cookie sheet, the first time it was a little soft but I tried it again and cooked it longer than the directions say until it crisped up and the cheese browned a little around the edges.

I also added a little extra cheese and all kinds of different toppings.

For a frozen pizza it is pretty delish, imo.

Also, the Food For Life Brown Rice Tortillas tend to be crispy depending on how you prepare them. I've broiled them with topings, brushed them with olive oil and baked them until crisp, cut in wedges to make kind of a "chip".

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      Yes, you are right. Indeed, I’ve been feeling anemic since the beginning of this week, and today I felt horrible during a lecture at the university, I was trembling a lot and felt all my body incredibly heavy, so I had to come back home. I’ll do a blood test tomorrow, but I’m just worried about the possibility of it coming back negative. I’ve been eating two cookies in the morning as my only source of gluten over the past two weeks—could that affect the final result?

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Patiently Waiting to See Results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.
