good morning!

Does anyone have a gluten-free/cf/sf pizza crust recipe. I also can not do honey and/or maple syrup.

I looked online but could not find one that would work. Any help is appreciated!!

A :D

My pizza crust is gluten-free/cf/sf. I think it's pretty good, and my kids gobble it up.

2/3 c. All purpose gluten-free blend (i.e. Gluten Free Pantry, or a homemade blend like equal parts rice flour, tapioca, and cornstarch)

1/2 c. Tapioca Flour

2 tsp. xanthan gum

2 Tbsp. dry yeast granules

1/2 tsp salt

1 Tbsp. sugar

1 c. warm water

1 tsp vinegar

1 tsp. vegetable or olive oil

This makes one 12 inch pizza, or double it for cookie-sheet size, which is what I usually do. Whisk dry ingredients together. Add wet ingredients, and stir for 3 minutes. Spray pan with cooking spray (or if using a pizza stone, sprinkle generously with gluten-free flour), and dump dough onto pan.

Spread dough to edges, making a slight "lip" at the edges to hold sauce and toppings. You can start the spreading using a spoon, then sprinkle generously with gluten-free flour, and use your fingers, adding more flour as necessary so it doesn't stick too badly to your hands.

Bake in 425 F. oven for... probably about 15 minutes. :ph34r: I'm terrible at timing things. You want the crust to just barely start to turn tan (will probably turn tan in patches, that's fine, don't wait for the whole thing to be brown.) Pull from oven and add your sauce and toppings. Return to oven for about 10 minutes, or until toppings are done.

Notes:

If crust is a little gummy for your taste, do try it again, using less xanthan gum. This recipe is pretty versatile. I've replaced the all purpose gluten-free blend with sorghum flour (a bit better for you) a few times and it has a different flavor, but just as good. The tapioca flour is actually the key to a decent crust, I think.

I've also used this recipe to make mini pizzas to have in the freezer. The recipe above makes two good size mini pizzas, or three smaller (or thinner) ones. You can freeze the crust in freezer bags after it's baked, to have premade crusts. Or you can bake the crust, add the toppings, and freeze on a cookie sheet. Once frozen (so the toppings/sauce aren't wet,) then place in freezer bags. MUCH cheaper than premade gluten-free frozen pizza. If you make the crust thin, really watch it so it doesn't over brown- it gets tough and hard to bite when it over-cooks.

Another time saver is to just mix up the dry ingredients and store in a ziploc bag. If you go ahead and add the yeast, you need to store the mix in the fridge. I always have crust mixes made up ahead, and then it's quick to just add the water, oil, and vinegar.

Hope you like it.

I finally got to try this recipe and its very good, fast and EASY too! I used sorghum mix plus the extra tapioca, dash of basil, and beat the dough with a mixer. The dough spreads really easy with a spoon. It made 4 mini pizzas. I brushed the edges with olive oil after the first bake...mmm

The only trouble I had and keep having is doughy middles. I have to bake in a toaster oven and I don't have a pizza stone. I prebake in a pan, top, then bake on the rack.

I will try using less xanthan gum as stated above and maybe make 5 mini pizzas.

It's not a recipe but we absolutely love Open Original Shared Link. It's a staple around our house.

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
