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.

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.

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!!

      I am doing a gluten challenge right now and I bought vital wheat gluten so I can know exactly how much gluten I am getting. One tablespoon is 7g so 1½ tablespoons of Vital Wheat Gluten per day will get you to 10g You could add it to bean burgers as a binder or add to hot chocolate or apple sauce and stir.

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6.

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it.  Gluten is  the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part.  Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate  ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.   Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.
