Pizza Dough

I love making homemade pizza dough, but often don't have time to do it right before dinner. Will it turn out ok if I make it a few hours ahead of time? I wasn't sure if it would rise too much with the yeast. If ok, should I refrigerate it or let it sit at room temperature before baking?

Also curious...can I freeze the dough? If so, should I pop it in the freezer right after mixing it, then let it sit at room temperature for a little while after thawing? I know I could bake the crust and freeze, but I think it would be nice to bake the dough when eating sometimes.

Thank you!

Holly,

I make mine, bake and then freeze. I'm not sure how the unbaked dough would freeze, thaw and rise, but once baked, the shells freeze great. This is the recipe I use. My DH says its the best crust he's ever had. I've also made flat bread out of it and foccacia. I make the crusts personal size so everyone can make their own.

I make the pizza crust from Bette Hagamn's book called "The Gluten Free Gourmet Cooks Fast and Healthy"

I saw the recipe posted on here too but I forgot where. :(

I make an extra crust. Bake it about 12 minutes. Let it cool, flip it out of the pan to cool the bottom of it. Then wrap and freeze it. Then another day its ready, just thaw it, top and bake until toppings are hot and cheese is melted.

I think you could prebake a crust part way, then put it in the fridge. Later in the day, take it out, top and bake.

Holly,

Have you tried Carol Fenster's recipe for pizza crust? I found it online at Recipezaar dot com--recipe number 44487. works perferctly each time and is quite tasty. Even my non-gluten-free husband loves this. when it is too hot to use the oven for pizza, try covering the pizza with foil and cooking it outside with the gas grill. Best of all, you dont have to wait for this dough to rise like regular pizza dough.

The recipe is also on the back of Bob's Red Mill Garfava flour. You can substitute the brown rice flour for Garfava flour for a healthier alternative.

This is the BEST pizza recipe, hands down.

I pre-bake it (not too brown), flash freeze it. Then I use the foodsaver to get the air out (or you could squeeze the air out of a ziplock freezer bag). When I'm ready to use it then I cook it --without thawing with sauce and cheese.

Rachelle,

That looks like a good pizza crust. I don't have chickpea flour. What would be a good sub? Any flour? I do have garfava flour, which I was thinking would be close. BUT...I have one daughter who seems to think all flours leave an after taste (well - at least the sorghum - which I totally don't taste)...so I am thinking garfava is a stronger flavor? Could I use potatoe starch? Millet?

Also, do you think I could use water for the milk? Or would that totally change it? I thought about subbing rice milk - but that might lend a sweet taste, I am not sure. I would probably be okay with it, not sure about my 2 daughters. (yes, have 2. One seems to notice aftertaste on stuff, the other doesn't - but thinking both of them would notice the rice milk).

Thanks!

Hi Dawn,

I never use the chickpea or garfava flour, I don't like the taste either. I use my own flour blend-I posted it on the cinammon roll thread-for the flours listed. I think you can also use water for milk (whatever kind of milk you want). I know the bread recipe I use says you can use either. I find this recipe to be pretty forgiving, it's always turned out right no matter what kinds of substitutions I make-and I tend to make a lot...

Hi Rachelle,

Thanks for the answer on the flours. I just noticed the recipe uses eggs. I am currently avoiding eggs (have eliminated them and have not done a challenge yet to see what effect they are or are not having).

I am thinking the egg would help with chewiness, holding it together? I am not sure if egg replacer would work in pizza dough - I am fairly new at using it. Do you think it would work? I am wondering if maybe I should try the egg replacer and also use a tsp of unflavored gelatin? Not sure if I need the gelatin - because I am not totally sure of what the purpose of the egg is.

Thanks,

Dawn :unsure:

I don't have any experience with the egg replacer, but I would think it would be fine to use. Someone else who reads this might have more info. I've never used the gelatin either... Sorry ;)

Thanks for the links purple! :lol:

I did make this recipe tonight with modifications so thought I would post. I used Ener-G egg replacer and water (instead of eggs). In place of the chickpea flour, I used brown rice flour. Next time I would like to sub out some of the flour for a little bit of millet. I might even try using some gelatin - but making my crusts a little thicker next time would probably help it be a bit more chewy.

All in all I think it came out well. I pre-baked them for about 15 minutes (they were still not crisp on the bottom and I was worried they wouldn't be done enough to top and bake again - but no worries - it was fine). I put parchment paper on top of my pizza stone and then put the dough on the paper. I spread with a metal spatula (what I would use to ice a cake). It was easy to spread on the parchment as it stuck to the paper (didn't lift up). I was able to get nice circles. (I didn't know what a baking peel was - referenced in the recipe).

I might try adding a small amount of spice to the crust the next time as well as trying something like rice milk or hemp milk (I don't know what hemp milk tastes like - but I need a bland milk sub so as not to flavor the crust). OR I might try brushing the crust with garlic butter - that would be really good and might add that little bit extra I am looking for. Also, I would like it to be just a bit thicker than mine turned out, so will spread a bit smaller in diameter.

After topping one of the crusts, I baked for almost 20 more minutes at 400. The crust was light brown, crispy on the bottom. Overall, it was a success! One of the better crusts I have made and very easy as well. I will be making more tomorrow for my freezer. :P I just need to adjust to pizza without cheese now - or try a non-dairy cheese -which just does not sound appetizing.

Kinnikinnick Foods makes an excellent gluten free pizza dough. If you ask your local grocery store (go straight to the manager) to order them, they will. Harry's Farmer's Market carries them. Kroger orders them if I ask.. They are frozen and they come in 7 inch or 10 inch. They don't taste like cardboard.

Thanks Josh! I have actually tried Kinnickinnick's crust - and I like it. I have a small stock pile in my freezer. :lol: For some reason it is not a favorite of my girls. They comment on the sweetness of the crust. :( Kinnickinnick gets my endorsement too for a purchased gluten-free product.

I do notice the sweetness as well, but overall it was the best I had found. I probably prefer it over the ones I have made from scratch, though my girls like my scratch ones. Go figure. ;) I think if I add some italian seasoning or brush my scratch ones with garlic butter - they might edge ahead of the kinnickinnick ones for me though - since they are soft and a little chewy and a little thicker.

Yea, I tried to make my own, but it wasn't as good as the Kinnikinnick Foods crust.

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
