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

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.

Best Regards,

David

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.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Gigi2025 · Posted

      Since 2015 we've spent extensive time in Italy and I've been able to eat their wheat products without incident. Initially, I was practically starving thinking foods in Sicily were not gluten-free.  An Italian friend who had lived in the US for over 20 years said she had celiac/gluten-free friends from the US who could eat Italian wheat products without problems. Hesitantly, I tried little by little without issues.  A few years later at a market, I asked a bread vendor if they had gluten-free loaves. Turns out she had lived in LA, said groups believe it's not the gluten that's causing our bodies harm, but potassium bromate; these groups have been trying to ban it.  Bromines and other halogens wreaks havoc to our endocrine system and, more specifically, our thyroids and immune systems. When bromines are ingested/absorbed into the body, it displaces iodine causing other health issues. Potassium bromate is a powerful oxidizing agent (dough 'conditioner') that chemically changes flour to enhance elasticity, bleaches the dough, and ages the flour much faster than open air.   Shortly thereafter while visiting friends in California, one family said they had gone gluten-free and the difference was incredible. The reason they choose this path was due them (a biologist/chemist/agriculturist scientist) having to write a portion of a paper about a certain product for the company he worked. Another company's scientist was directed to write the other portion. All was confidential, they weren't allowed to know the other company/employee.  After the research, they learned gluten was being removed from wheat, sent elsewhere, returned in large congealed blocks resembling tofu, and then added to wheat products. Potassium bromate has been banned for use in Europe, China, and other countries, but not in the US. Then we have the issues of shelf preservatives and stabilizers. What are we eating?  Why? We spend long periods of time in Italy and all has been good.  We just returned from an extended time in Greece;  no issues there either.  There is a man there we learned about on a travel show about Greece who walks the hills, picking herbs, pods, etc.  He is a very learned scholar, taught at the university level in Melbourne. It took a few days to locate him, but were finally successful. He too, is concerned about the additives and preservatives in American food (many of his customers are Americans, haven't been in the best of health, and have become healthier after visiting him). He suggested taking a food product from the US and the same product in Europe, and compare the different ingredients. Then ask why these things are being allowed in the US by the 'watch dog' of our foods and drugs. It would be amuzing if it weren't tragic. I'm presently looking for flour from Europe that I can make my own bread and pasta as the gluten-free bread is now $7.99 a (small) loaf.  BTW, studies are showing that many gluten-free individuals are becoming diabetic. My guess is because the gluten-free products are high in carbs. This is only my experience and opinion garnished by my personal research.  I hope it helps.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Symptoms that get worse if you don't supplement is a sign of malabsorption, possibly due to Celiac disease. Blood tests for nutritional deficiencies are not very accurate, and should be done when you have been off of supplements for eight to twelve weeks, otherwise the vitamin supplements you've taken will be measured.  The blood circulation system is a transportation system.  It transports the vitamins you've absorbed around the body, but blood tests don't give an accurate picture of the vitamin and mineral stores inside organs and tissues where they are actually used.  You can have "normal" blood levels but still have deficiencies.  This is because the brain demands stored nutrients be put into the blood stream to supply important organs, like the brain and heart, while other organs do without.   If you are taking Thiamine Mononitrate in your supplements, you are probably low in thiamine.  Thiamine Mononitrate is used in many supplements because it won't break down sitting on a shelf.  This also means Thiamine Mononitrate is difficult for the body to utilize.  Only thirty percent of Thiamine Mononitrate on the label is absorbed and even less is able to be utilized by the body.  A different form of Thiamine called Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.   Talk to your doctor about doing a genetic test to look for Celiac markers.   I'm concerned that if you do a gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum off two weeks) in your weakened state, the nutritional deficiencies will become worse and possibly life threatening.

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello, good afternoon!   I apologize, I didn’t see a notification and I’m just reading this. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and the link. Yes you are absolutely right, even so trying to get a response from them has been extremely difficult. They don’t answer but I will your practice of “guilty until proven innocent.”   I like and have a sense of trust here in this website, everyone is honest and thoughts are raw. The mutual understanding is amazing!   thank you Scott!

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.
