Dying For Pizza....

[swbailey]

I am recently diagnosed, and have been working very hard at learning to cook gluten-free (not easy, but getting there). I really want to eat some pizza, and have found several recipes for the crust but what about the toppings?

Which toppings are gluten-free, like pepperoni and sausage?

Thank you for all your help!!!

We buy the Welshire Farms uncured pepperoni. I think Hormel is gluten-free too. There are many chicken sausages that are gluten-free and say so on the label. So many, in fact that I don't remember the names, I just look for the words gluten-free on the package. We like homemade italian meatballs, halved, on a pizza, with zucchini and garlic.

Look for Hormel Naturals, I found the pepperoni in Walmart. With sausage I found that I like best just buying the ground pork with no added anything. Then I add my own spices. I know what's in it that way. After that just go for any other gluten-free toppings you love!!

Love that PIZZA!!

We use Hormel pepperoni (says gluen free on it), Hormel Naturals sliced ham (says gluten free on it), Hormel real bacon bits (I believe it also says gluten-free on it), plus mushrooms, pineapple, Kraft mozarella, Kraft cheddar, Kraft grated parm. cheese. I make my own sauce out of tomato paste, tomatoe sauce, sugar, and spices.

Don't wait another day for pizza! For the sake of health, we limit pizza to one night a week (but I cheat and make 2 pizzas and the leftovers are for whoever gets there first!). For added fun (as if pizza night needed any help!), we make it pizza and a movie night and we "eat out" by eating in front of the TV while watching a rented movie.

This is making me hungry for pizza...we might have to have a middle of the week pizza night!!!

I like the frozen Glutino pizzas that I get at the grocery store. They're plain cheese but then I can add whatever I like to them. (tomatoes, bacon, and spinach for me). I tired Amy's but didn't like the crust near as much. It was gross.

I beg everyone here to read the following before buying another Wellshire Farms product:

I use Carol Fenster's recipe with her flour mixture. It's a combination of sorghum, potato and tapioca starches. It's SO good!! Chewy, a little crispy, all around YUM! I really didn't think I'd ever have pizza crust like that again.

And YES, I agree with jnbunnie. I refuse to buy another Wellshire Farms product. Please read the link.

Boar's Head Pepperonni is gluten-free (marked as such) and delicious--not too greasy.

For sausage I use the Jones Dairy Farm All-Natural (Breakfast) Sausage Roll. I make little tiny patties with it and fry then up, then use them to top the pizza. They make them in both regular and hot varieties.

As for Ham, I get Boar's Head ham at my butcher. I ask him to cut a few slices extra-thick and just dice them up for the pizza.

For a really easy crust, I use the Chebe mix for pizza crust. It makes a thin crust, and I don't think it would taste right as a thick crust, but having a crust that tasted like crust was important to my dh. Even though I'm still a gluten consumer, I like this crust. (Before anyone panics, I'm not the celiac, dh is, but we try to keep the house fairly gluten-free)

This is slightly off topic from the orignal poster's question, but if you want to go out for pizza and are in the right area, there is a restaurant chain called Pizza Fusion that makes gluten-free pizza. It's a touch on the expensive side, but it does closely resemble "normal" pizza. The crust becomes a little more fragile than regular dough as it cools, but right out of the oven you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference. Good stuff. The chain is in several states...see if there is one nearby you, perhaps.
