Gluten Free Pizza

[CMCM]

Have any of you made a good pizza crust? Gluten Free Pantry has a mix, is that any good? And overall, any suggestions for getting a passable gluten-free pizza crust made up?

I use this recipe (for the crust only). We really like it. I don't use the recommended flours, I just use the blend I have in place of all the listed flours-it's always turned out really good.

I have tried a couple of mixes and recipes but am finding it hard to find one that I like.

I've tried the Gluten Free Pantry one (the frenchbread one). This is going back a couple of months but I remember that my mom and husband (both gluten eaters) really liked it. The way that I did it, it came out thick so they said it was like a deep dish pizza. I would try the mix again sometime in the future.

What I like to do is keep a slice or a small piece if I can and see how it tastes the next day as leftovers that way I know in the future if I want to make extra for the next day.

The above recipe is the newest pizza crust I have tried. It is very simple to make and a quick clean up. The Italian Seasoning really stands out so I left it out the second time I made it. I used a small cookie sheet b/c it is in liquid form when you first make it (not dough) Turned out good. I baked it for about 12 minutes then added sauce/toppings and then added couple minutes onto the next time gap. I wanted to get the bottom browner.

GOOD LUCK!

Totally agree on this pizza crust. I just made it last night and it's awesome. I, too, don't follow the flours in it exactly. I think I used 3/4 c of rice flour, 1/4 c tapioca, 1/3 c corn flour and 1/3 c millet and substituted honey for the sugar. Plus, I don't really follow the directions for prepping it either. I usually just take the dough and spread it out on a greased and dusted-with-cornmeal baking sheet and let it rise from there, then carry on with the directions.

Just made this one tonight and it was great - not too thick, crisp on the bottom, good crunchy crust.

1-1/2 c gluten-free flour - I used Bette Hagman's original (rice, tapioca, potato starch). I left myself a note on the page that says not to use the bean flour mix.

1 1/2 t baking powder

1 t xanthan gum

1/2 t salt

1 t sugar

2 t (1 packet) yeast - Rapid Rise for thicker, regular for less so

Mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl. I sometimes throw in ground flaxseed for fiber.

Mix the wet ingredients with your mixer:

1 egg

1 T oil (i use olive oil)

7/8 c warm water (don't put all in - hold some back until you see if you need it)

Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until smooth. It should be a little too wet to hold together in a ball.

Pour out onto a greased round pizza pan, spreading with a spatula and building up an edge all around. Let rise about 15 minutes.

Add toppings and bake at 425 for 25-30 minutes.

The original recipe had you put the yeast and sugar in the water and let it foam before adding it to the egg and oil, but this works just as well.

Thanks for the suggestions...I'll try some of these recipes next. I made the gluten-free Pantry one.....I think it would have made two huge pizzas, but as it was, I spread it out onto a very large pizza pan and it was enormously thick.....tasted good, but just too much crust as I was trying to make a Margarita pizza, which really needs a very thin crust.

What I'm searching for now is a successful, thin crust with maybe even a bit of crunch to it. Let me know if you have a recipe for this!

I am originally from Chicago and used the Pantry mix for pizza and loved the chewy dough. However, I was supposed to make two pizza's and just lined an 9 x 11 casserole with the whole dough, baked it and added toppings. Very good and non-gluten eater's loved it also.

We use this pizza crust every weekend and it is fantastic! In fact, two weeks ago my husband and I were out for pizza for lunch (we're not Celiacs) when I remembered that I had promised my son pizza for supper that night. I told my husband that he needed to get psyched up for pizza twice in one day and why. He promptly replied that that was OK because my pizza was MUCH better than the pizza restaurants!

And as if you need more reason to try it...my son's best friend eats dinner with us frequently. He always seems to like our pizza and is a picky eater for him parents, so I tend to make pizza a lot for him. I called his mom last Friday to invite him for dinner and she said, "That would be terrific. He has been begging me to get your pizza recipe so I can make it!" He 9! I figure at age 9 you have to be a pizza expert!

Oh, one note though - we cut the Italian seasoning way back - I use 1 tsp for a double batch.

Enjoy the best pizza ever!!

For diary allergies, could you leave out the dry milk powder in the pizza crust recipe and still be successful? Thanks

[irish daveyboy]

Hi Gentleheart,

for people that have dairy intolerances there's Vances 'Darifree'

it's a potato based dairy substitute,

you could try that (I personally haven't tried it so can't be sure)

maybe someone that has can be of more assistance.

I like Glutino frozen pizza. It's the best one I've found!

Ditto.

Gentleheart, the dry milk powder is for protein. I would try a 'drink mix' protein powder that comes plain, like rice protein, or maybe just a bit of almond flour. You could even use flax meal if you like that whole grainy taste.

Namaste crust is really good, but I am lazy and since I can't eat real cheese anyway... I just use Ener-G rice crusts. They work for me.
