gluten-free Pie Crusts?


churn

Recommended Posts

churn Newbie

I am looking for a good recipe to roll and bake my own pie crusts. I am not that well versed in baking with the gluten-free flours and not sure if I should blend my own or (preferrably) find a flour that is pre-blended already.

I'm specifically looking to bake a quiche so I need a crust that is taller than the typical pre-made pie crusts. If anyone has some good experiences here I'd love to hear tips or specific recommendations.

thank you

I'm not sure how this would work for quiche, but it works fine for pies. I don't know why it wouldn't work for you, too. Best I've found so far:

2/3 cup brown rice flour

2/3 cup tapioca flour

2/3 cup potato starch

3 TBL corn starch

1 TBL xanthan gum

1 1/2 tsp salt

10 TBL cold butter in chunks

2 eggs beaten

in processor mix dry ingrediants

Add cold butter - pulse until it resembles coarse corn meal

Add beaten eggs - mix until it forms a ball

Divide dough in 2

Roll between wax paper or plastic

Continue with recipe

I like to roll mine out fairly thin. This crust will brown slightly...but not like glutin flour

Good luck with your recipe!

I usually make the crust free quiche recipe from allrecipes.com. I've also had great turnout with a mashed potato crust. Not the same as pastry, but very tasty!

Pie Crust

Here is a thread on pie crusts:

https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/lofivers...php/t51373.html

This one I have used many, many times for mini pot pies (just press into a jumbo muffin pan and top with a small crust that's been pressed or rolled out, makes 6) and it works great! I have never rolled it out for a big pie. I plan to when my gluten-free dd is home someday.

I used 2 eggs once instead of the 1 egg and 2 yolks and the crust was "splattery/spitty and cracked so I don't advise it.

This one is the same one posted above with rolled out comments (posted twice so you could read all the tips on both links)

Darn, Cruelshoes said its hard to get the links to work on that site, something about a tiny url????

So go back up to the first link above and click on it, then scroll to "cruelshoes" and click on the link she has...it will take you right to her comments...sorry if this is confusing.

Here is a very coveted recipe for gluten free pie crust which I have perfected. I made this through out the Holidays, for my family, my office and for my husband's work as well. It was loved by all and no one could tell that it was gluten free! In fact I was asked many times by some who were concerned "Are you sure this gluten free?"

6 oz gluten free cream cheese

4 oz unsalted butter (room temp)

3/4 c cornstarch

1/2 c tapioca flour

1/2 c white rice flour

1/4 c sorghum flour

1/4 tsp. salt

1 tbls. granulated sugar

2 tsp. xantham gum

Whisk the dry ingredients together, and set aside.

Blend the cream cheese and butter thoroughly.

Slowly add the dry ingredients and blend until dough forms tiny crumbles. If you do not have a Kitchen Aid mixer you may need to use good old fashioned elbow grease at this point, by getting your hands in there to knead until the mixture forms a ball.

Divide dough into 2 balls. The best thing about this recipe is is does not need to be chilled to roll out. In fact room temp. rolls easier.

Roll 1 ball between 2 sheets of wax paper that have been lightly coated with a sprinkle of white rice flour. This dough is extremely forgiving so if it tears do not worry, just pinch it together and you are good to go!

Fill with pie filling and bake at 350 degrees F.

For a quiche you may want to omit the sugar and add some dill weed and garlic powder. Wicked yummy!

Pre-bake the pie crust for about 10 min.

To prevent the crust from rising during a pre-bake, just place some parchment paper over the crust and fill with uncooked/dried beans.

Try this crust and I guarantee that this will be loved by even those who do not need to eat gluten free, which is very liberating. It's gluten freedom not just gluten free!

      In general with pharmaceutical products cross-contamination is a much lower risk.

      Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Just so you'll know, once you have been gluten-free for any length of time, it will invalidate testing for celiac disease.

      Yes. I have not been tested for celiac. It took forever to get diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. lol. I have an appointment with my regular GP later this month and will convey my findings on improved symptoms and see what his thoughts are. Thank you.

      @Grahamsnaturalworld, It's never too late.   Have you been checked for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth?  SIBO can cause ongoing symptoms.  Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and Histamine Intolerance (HIT) can also be the cause of ongoing symptoms.  The AIP diet can help with these by starving out SIBO bacteria and calming the immune system. Do you include dairy in your diet?  Casein in dairy can cause an autoimmune response the same as to gluten.  Have you been checked for lactose intolerance?  Some people lose the ability to produce the enzyme, lactase, needed to digest lactose, the sugar in dairy because the villi where the lactase enzyme is made are damaged.  AIP diet excludes dairy. Do you include grains in your diet?  Gluten free alternative grains and ancient grains can be inflammatory and cause symptoms.  Some people with Celiac react to corn and oats.  The AIP diet excludes all grains.  Lectins in grains can be inflammatory and cause symptoms. Do you eat nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, and eggplant).  This family of plants produce glycoalkaloids, chemicals that promote Leaky Gut Syndrome.  The AIP diet excludes nightshades.   Are you on any medications?  Some medications can cause gastrointestinal symptoms.  Do you take any supplements?  Some herbal teas and supplements can cause digestive symptoms.  Medications for diabetes, antidepressants, and other pharmaceuticals can cause digestive symptoms as side effects. Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Malabsorption of essential nutrients can occur with continued symptoms.  Deficiencies in Niacin, Thiamine, and other B vitamins can cause digestive symptoms.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi and Pellagra are often overlooked by doctors because they are not familiar with nutritional deficiency disease symptoms.  Nutritional deficiencies can worsen over time as stores inside the body are depleted.   Have your doctors checked for all these?   I had a horrible time getting my symptoms under control.  I had to answer all these questions myself.  Yes, it's frustrating and exasperating because doctors don't have to live with these symptoms everyday.
