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).

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!

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.
