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!!

      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.

      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.

      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.
