Anyone out there have a good pizza dough recipe. I tried a rice crust frozen cheese pizza "Amy's"

I thought it was ok my husband thought it was horrible. I feel bad he is so good to go the gluten free road with me. Little does he know his taste buds are going to get a work out.

yes it is a transition!

Instead of a frozen crust,I would try a mix. We tried a couple, a local brand, which was ok. Then we tried Namaste brand pizza crust mix. There are other brands too.

Although he actually prefers the brown rice pasta now (Tinkyada) he hasn't totally transitioned his preference to gluten-free pizza crust. If we're pinched on time, and one pizza will be it... it will be a gluten-free crust. (Otherwise we end up doing his and hers pizzas, which is ok too.)

Our favorite is Carol Fenster's pizza dough. It's great! And my husband is at the point where he would rather have that than anything else. The last time he got "regular" pizza, he complained about how much he missed mine. :)

I can post the recipe for you tomorrow, if you'd like. There's a ton floating around here, and I'm sure most of them are good. I'm sure you'll get lots of ideas to pick from.

I use John's Red Mill pizza crust mix. My husband (non-celiac) and I both like it. Of course, if you put enough good stuff on, the crust becomes just a way to get the good stuff from the pan to your mouth.

Any left-over dough makes good bread sticks with the addition of garlic and sesame seeds.

I don't have a recipe but I will tell you that we have tried Bob's Red Mill 2times now and I won't be doing it again- I mean its ok but not all that great.

I was recently out shopping for the Bobs Red Mill which I used in the past, but they were out and directed me to "Full Circle" gluten free pizza crust. It was seasoned nicely and makes TWO pizzas out of one package versus the one pizza I got out of Bob's...It was pretty good, and my none gluten-free boyfriend ate more then I did!

How about this one,

Pizza Crust like you wouldn't believe!

3385741295_b6e27681a5.webp3385742381_0c5f348553.webp

INGREDIENTS:

1 sachet of dried yeast (7g or 2.25 tsp)

100g rice flour

70g Tapioca flour

2 Tbls of dried milk powder

2 tsp of xanthan gum

1/2 tsp of salt

1 tsp of dried gelatin powder

1 Tbls of italian herbs

2/3 cup of warm water (think temp of babys bottle on back of wrist)

1/2 tsp of caster/superfine sugar

1 tsp of olive oil

1 tsp of apple cider/red wine vinegar

METHOD:

Pre-heat oven to 425F/GasMark 7

In a medium bowl using regular beaters on an electric hand held mixer

blend flours, yeast, dry milk powder, xanthan gum, salt, gelatin and herb seasoning on a low speed.

Add warm water, sugar, olive oil and vinegar, beat for 3 mins

(if mixer bounces around the bowl the dough is too stiff, add water 1 Tbls at a time

until dough does not resist beaters)

The dough will resemble soft bread dough.

(you may also mix in a bread machine on a dough setting)

Grease a 12" pizza pan lightly

( apply oil to kitchen paper and rub over the surface).

Not the tray with holes that's only for re-heating Pizza

Put dough mix in centre of pizza pan sprinkle liberally with some rice flour

using a floured glass (hi-ball tumbler is best sides are parrallel)

roll dough out towards the edges of tin evenly

Make edges thicker to retain toppings

( I just squeezed between my thumb and forefinger all the way around the circumference)

Bake in oven for 10 mins, remove spread with pizza sauce

and grated mozzerella cheese, add your favourite toppings and finish with grated cheddar cheese

Return to oven for a further 20 -25 mins or until the cheese is slightly browned

Sufficient dough for 1 good 12" pizza

Best Regards,

David

Same here, I just tried it for the first time and prefer Carol Fensters recipe much better.

CeliacMom2008 Enthusiast

Here are the conversions:

1 Tbs dry yeast

2/3 cups of brown rice flour

1/2 cup of tapioca flour

This is the BEST pizza crust. My son's best friend (10 years old) prefers this crust to any other (and he's not a Celiac!). We cut the Italian seasoning way back in ours (about 1/2 - 1 teaspoon instead of the tablespoon).

You can make up your own "mixes" when you have time. Just combine all the dry ingredients in a Ziploc and then add wet when you make it. I proof the yeast first when I do it, so I don't add the yeast to the mixes.

I usually double recipe and make 2 pizzas. Then I freeze one of the pizzas for when I need a frozen pizza night.

This pizza looks great! I hope it's as good as it looks! I haven't found anything I like yet. The pizza crust is usually still doughy on the inside even after cooking it longer. Is the yeast active? Thanks for the recipe.

I've never had a bad review yet and it's listed on Peaza.com the international Pizza Blog.

In this recipe there is only a single rise (thermal) while cooking.

Bread is a double rise First Rise is Chemical (proofing or allowing to rise in a warm location before baking) and second rise is Thermal (in the oven when heat is applied)

I don't know how many yeast types you have there but in Ireland there are 2, Dry active (bread yeast) and fresh yeast (looks and feel a bit like tofu) used by large artisan bakeries.

all home bakers use dry active or bread yeast.

Best Regards,

David

I love this recipe, David! I wonder if the doughiness was because it wasn't rolled out enough? I roll it out even more than 12" because it makes a thin 'n' crispy type pizza.

BTW, I use a small amount of oil instead of rice flour to roll it out. It is less floury and makes a nice crisp on it.

Hi there, I'm new to the forums, and recently got diagnosed with celiac's disease 2 weeks ago. Pizza (and beer) were my first two concerns. I satisfied my beer needs with Redbridge beer, *phew*. I found this recipe online and made it last night, eating the leftovers as I type this.

Open Original Shared Link

It took no time to make. Tastes just like the real thing, texture and consistency. The one thing the recipe doesn't emphasize is what the raw dough form is like. It is basically like the "Soft bread" they describe, but sticks to the sides of the bowl. You have to scrape it out with a spoon, plop the pile onto a sprayed/oiled cookie sheet. Now, they talk about using flour to spread it out. I figured out a much better strategy courtesy of one of Emeril's online videos regarding gluten free pizza dough.

Take a piece of wax paper that is similar to the size of the pan you are using. Spray one side all over with cooking spray, place on top of dough pile, then use a rolling pin on top of the wax paper to roll it out! It comes out nice and flat, just perfect. I cooked it on a rectangular cookie sheet (doubled the recipe) and it spread to the sides evenly. I had to form at the edges to make the crust. Cooked for 15 mins. Took it out, applied toppings, cooking for another 15. It came out PERFECT! My "meat and potatoes" husband who is not gluten free loved it! It has a real "authentic" italian taste with the oils and italian seasoning.

I hope this helps, seems like other people suggested a similar recipe. The rolling pin wax-paper strategy is a life-saver!

Great recipe! Tried it for dinner tonite & no leftovers (drats!). Husband (who's pickier than I am) liked it too. I split the dough onto 2 pans so I had individual sized pizzas. First baked them on the baking sheet, then transferred one to a pizza pan with holes in the bottom to make the bottom crispier (husband's preference).

One thing I did try was substituting 2 TBSP tapioca flour for the 2 TBSP dried milk (did not have it on hand). Does anyone know if it really makes a difference in the crust if I leave it out? Thanks in advance.

This seems to be our fave recipe also. I also used the extra tapioca flour instead and wondering what difference it made, if any. So, what does the dried milk do, anyway?

I have another question about this and other gluten-free pizza recipes. Is it normal to have a layer of what looks like "not done" crust when it really is done? This happens with this recipe and even with the Chebe mix I tried. Is it just a gluten free pizza thing?

I haven't tried this one yet, I just happened to stumble across it yesterday but it looks good!

Now here's one I have tried, and it's excellent:

Has anyone tried the King Arthur Pizza crust mix?

I've tried the brownies (fantabulous!!) and the cake (I undercooked it, but not too shabby).

I just found Namaste crust in my health food store (really the only place I can find gluten-free stuff ... they've just enlarged their store AND their gluten-free offerings!). I spread it out on parchment paper on top of the pizza stone we have and it yielded a really delicious thin, crispy crust! I don't eat pizza often, so it's my new fave find!!

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.
    • RMJ
      To evaluate the TTG antibody result we’d need to know the normal range for that lab.  Labs don’t all use the same units.  However, based on any normal ranges that I’ve seen and the listed result being greater than a number rather than a specific number, I’d say yes, that is high! Higher than the range where the test can give a quantitative result. You got good advice not to change your diet yet.  If you went gluten free your intestines would start to heal, confusing any further testing,

      Scott is correct….Thank you for catching that!      Direct link for info  of fillers.    http://www.glutenfreedrugs.com/Excipients.htm Link is on 2nd page  of www.glutenfreedrugs.com   Site was started by a pharmacist (or 2) maybe 15-20 yrs ago with LAST updated in  2017.  This makes it’s Drug List so old that it’s no longer relevant. Companies & contacts, along with suppliers &  sources would need to be referenced, same amount effort  as starting with current data on DailyMed      That being said, Excipient List is still be relevant since major changes to product labeling occurred prior ’17.           List is the dictionary that sources the ‘foreign-to-us’ terms used on pharmaceutical labels, terms we need to rule out gluten.    Note on DailyMed INFO— When you look for a specific drug on DailyMed, notice that nearly all of companies (brands/labels) are flagged as a ‘Repackager’… This would seem to suggest the actual ‘pills’ are being mass produced by a limited number of wholesaler suppliers (esp for older meds out of  patent protection.).      If so, multiple repackager-get  bulk shipments  from same supplier will all  be selling identical meds —same formula/fillers. Others repackager-could be switching suppliers  frequently based on cost, or runs both gluten-free & non- items on same lines.  No way to know  without contacting company.     While some I know have  searched pharmacies chasing a specific brand, long-term  solution is to find (or teach) pharmacy staff who’s willing help.    When I got 1st Rx ~8 years ago, I went to Walgreens & said I needed gluten-free.  Walked  out when pharmacist said  ‘How am I supposed  to know…’  (ar least he as honest… ). Walmart pharmacists down the block were ‘No problem!’—Once, they wouldn’t release my Rx, still waiting on gluten-free status from a new supplier. Re: Timeliness of DailyMed info?   A serendipitous conversation with cousin in Mi was unexpectedly reassuring.  She works in office of Perrigo, major products of OTC meds (was 1st to add gluten-free labels).  I TOTALLY lucked out when I asked about her job: “TODAY I trained a new full-time employee to make entries to Daily Med.’  Task had grown to hours a day, time she needed for tasks that couldn’t be delegated….We can only hope majorities of companies are as  conscientious!   For the Newbies…. SOLE  purpose of  fillers (possible gluten) in meds is to  hold the active ingredients together in a doseable form.  Drugs  given by injection or as IV are always gluten-free!  (Sometimes drs can do antibiotics w/ one-time injection rather than 7-10 days of  pills .) Liquid meds (typically for kids)—still read labels, but  could be an a simpler option for some products…

      So I recently had allergy testing for IGE antibodies in response to foods. My test results came back positive to corn, white potatoes, egg whites. Tomatoes, almonds and peanuts to name a few.  I have had obvious reactions to a few of these - particularly tomatoes and corn- both GI issues. I don’t really understand all this allergy versus celiac stuff. If the food allergies are mild do I have to avoid these foods entirely? I don’t know what I will eat if I can’t  have corn based gluten free products

      We have four children (7-14 yo), and our 7 year old was diagnosed with NCGS (though all Celiac labs were positive, her scope at 4 years old was negative so docs in the US won't call it celiac). We have started her on a Gluten Free diet after 3 years of major digestive issues and ruling out just about everything under the sun. Our home and kitchen and myself are all gluten-free. But I have not asked my husband/her dad or her other siblings to go completely gluten-free with us. They are at home, but not out of the home. This has led to situations when we are eating out where she has to consistently see others eating things she can't have and she has begun to say "Well, I can't have <fill in the blank>...stupid gluten."  How have you supported your gluten-free kiddos in the mental health space of this journey, especially young ones like her. I know it's hard for me as an adult sometimes to miss out, so I can't imagine being 7 and dealing with it! Any tips or ideas to help with this?
