gluten-free/cf Pizza Ideas?

Hello all,

Does anyone have any ideas/recipes for a gluten-free/CF pizza? I have purchased the Amys brand gluten-free/CF rice crust spinach pizza and it is ok. I would like to make my own though. Any recommendations for a good crust or crust mix and also a cheese that is casein free and if at all possible soy free? Any input would be appreciated.

Thank you.

I use Arrowhead Mills, but I do not know if they are soy free.

My family - gluten free and gluten friendly members alike - love the Namaste brand pizza mix. It is easy to prepare, has great seasonings. my very Italian husband preferred it over some other glutenous crusts he had been using!

Daiya vegan cheese (www.daiyafoods.com) is THE best out there. It contains no soy, casein, lactose, gluten, egg, wheat, barley, corn, whey, rice or nuts. The only problem is it's not yet widely available retail, but you can find it at some Whole Foods in CA as well as online at Pangea (www.veganstore.com). It melts, smells and tastes like the real thing!

I usually use the Ener-G brand because it's already made, it's easy and it tastes fine to me. Prior, I used the Namaste brand mix or a Foccacia recipe for the dough. We recently purchased a kit from Ian's. Haven't made it yet.

When daughter was first diagnosed, I would just put on sauce and meat. It was okay. I've since used rice cheese or another beef based cheese that alas isn't being produced at the moment.

And I've recently had an idea but haven't tried it yet, for a crust baked and then topped with hummus, onion, cucumbers, tomatoes and maybe some olives. Sounds yummy to me!

Yesterday I made my dd english muffin mini pizzas. She likes refried beans on hers with olives, jalapenos and pineapple. The recipe is easy, I fold over tin foil for the rings and store them in a plastic bag to reuse a few times. Shes 18 but I had fun making a smiley face with the olives and pineapple...lol.

I don't use the suggested flours, I use whatever I have on hand, most of the time I make my own blend. Sub the whole milk with water or a non-dairy moo. I make a few batches at a time and freeze the crusts.

Bette Hagman's Easy Pizza recipe is good if you want to make your own. If the toppings are more important to the whole idea of pizza than the crust, try putting the toppings on polenta slices or hash-brown patties.

I like Chebe focaccia mix. It's dairy and soy free. I love Joan's gluten-free great bakes NY style frozen pizza crusts (without toppings) but I don't know if they are dairy free.

This is my favorite, hands down. I tried 8-9 first. However, I do not broil it. I just pre-bake the crust and then do as I did pre-celiac in terms of sauce, topings etc.

I also bake ahead (not too brown) and freeze in one- or two-person sizes.

My two favorite pizza crusts are Namaste or Chebe. Chebe comes in a few different flavors. I usually get either the All purpose, Focaccia or Pizza. They whip up in a flash and my 11 year old daughters can make them on their own. They are also cheaper than most of the other mixes I have used and I get them on auto ship from Amazon.

We absolutely LOVE the Kinnikinnick Personal Size Pizza Crusts. We use a little of our own sauce and mozzerella, add whatever toppings, and it comes out tasting like Elio's pizza, but yummier! No funky aftertaste, and it cooks up crispy.

Hi. I usually use Betty Hagemans easy pizza crust and ,once in a while a french bread recipe. I have a bunch of 7 inch cake pans that make 5 individual crusts. I bake them till just shy of done, then throw them in the freezer on bake sheets. When frozen, i remove them, put sauce on them and back into the freezer on the bake sheets. When the sauce has frozen, I stack them between waxed paper, bag them, then back in the freezer. That way, when I want one, I don't have to worry about having a little bit of sauce. I just top them with whatever,and bake.

I also saw (but can't remember how it was done) a recipe that used meat for the crust. I might try that using maybe Italian sausage with some provalone mixed in to kind of "bind"it. Wish I would have written it down.

Happy cooking,

Susan

Susan, that's called "meatza" in the low-carb community! :)

There are a million variations but here's a good recipe:

Of course you have to omit the cheese or use rice cheese or whatever to make it cf.

The best thin crust pizza is from Grandma Ferdon's, it's frozen. Even non-celiacs love it. Hopefully you are in one of the midwest states that they service. I enjoy their lefse (seasonal only), lemon bars, pumpkin bars, dumplings and pumpernickel bread (either party size or full size bread).

Carol fenster has a great one based on sorghum, tapioca and cornstarch. Google Carol Fenster pizza crust and you might just find it. It was EXCELLENT!

I must say as far premade crusts go it's Udis brand all the way. They are pretty formidable personal pizza's size wise and taste is incredible you would have no way of knowing this was gluten free if it didn't say on the package. I think it is better then most of the gluten brands I used to eat.

Though that is udis in a nut shell everything they make is fantastic, bread, muffins, ect soooo good

Schar makes our new favorite prepared crust (and our new favorite multi-grain sandwich bread, too.)

From the looks of this thread, I think we're all doing pretty well. For cost effectiveness, I would definitely recommend going with bulk flours that you mix yourself rather than premade shells or mixes and I'm a fan of Bette Hagman's recipes, but never liked just ONE pizza recipe in gluten-filled life, either...

Has anyone made Frico? I haven't made it for awhile, but it's basically fried cheese (oh, my suffering, clogged heart!). Put some OO in an omelette pan, then shred some mozzerella or provalone into it on med heat. When it starts to melt and brown, add some sauce and sprinkling of pre-cooked toppings of your choice. Put some more cheese on top. When bottom browned, flip and cook till new bottom is browned. Plain cheese is Frico, the whole thing is called "Susan's heart attack in a pan"! But, if you eat healthy most of the time, it's alright.

Oh yes Suz, it is to die for (literally and figuratively :P ) I always add a slice to the pan for myself when making grilled cheese for the kiddos!

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @Ginger38, I've had shingles in the past.  I understand how miserable you're feeling.   Not only do i have the chickenpox virus lurking about, I also have the cold sore virus that occasionally flares with a huge cold sore on my lip when stressed or exposed to gluten.  The virus lives dormant in the nerves on the left side of my face.  It causes Bell's Palsy (resulting in drooling).  The cold sore virus is also in my eye.  My eye swells up and my vision is diminished permanently whenever I have a flare, so it's of the utmost importance to keep flares away and treat them immediately if they do happen so I don't lose any more vision.   I take the amino acid supplement L-Lysine.  Lysine messes with the replication of viruses, which helps the body fight them off.   I haven't had an outbreak for several years until this year when exceptionally stressed and contaminated, it flared up again. Lysine has been shown to be beneficial in suppression of viruses like the cold sore virus (a herpetic virus), the chickenpox virus (also a herpetic virus), as well as the HIV virus, and even the Covid virus.   I also take additional Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) because Thiamine has antiviral properties as well.   For pain, a combination of Thiamine (like TTFD or Benfotiamine or Thiamine Hydrochloride), with B12 Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine B6 have been shown to have analgesic properties which relieve pain and neuropathy.    The combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and Cobalamine B12 really does work to relieve pain.  I take it for back pain from crushed vertebrae in my back.  This combination also works on other pain and neuropathy.   I usually buy a supplement that combines all three and also Riboflavin B2 called EXPLUS online.  However, it's made in Japan and the price with the tariffs added makes it really expensive now.  But the combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and B12 Cobalamine (and Riboflavin B2) still work even if taken separately.   I can't take Tylenol or ibuprofen because of stomach upsets.  But I can take the vitamin combination without side effects.  However, you can take the three vitamins at the same time as other pain relievers for added benefit.  The vitamins help other pain relievers work better. I hope you will try it.  Hopeful you'll feel better quickly. Interesting Reading: Thiamine, cobalamin, locally injected alone or combination for herpetic itching: a single-center randomized controlled trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23887347/ Mechanisms of action of vitamin B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin) in pain: a narrative review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35156556/ Analgesic and analgesia-potentiating action of B vitamins https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12799982/ A Narrative Review of Alternative Symptomatic Treatments for Herpes Simplex Virus https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10301284/

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.
