Glutino Frozen Pizza

After over two years, I found that my pizza craving is somewhat solved by Glutino pizza duo's. We have pizza nite as a family on Sat. night and I pop an individual frozen pizza in for myself. I haven't had a problem in the past but the last few month's they have been giving me trouble. The pizza's are soggy about 1/3 of the way thru all the way to the middle, the edges are crispy. I have tried a baking sheet, a pizza pan with holes in the bottom, a baking stone, baking directly on the rack, and on aluminum foil.

Anyone have a solution to this problem?

:lol: I have the same problem! I like those little pizzas but I have the soggy middle problem lately as well. It's annoying. There was also a period where all the cheese seemed to be pushed off or something weird but that stopped.

Sorry, no solution though...guess it's not just me or you cooking it wrong. <_<

Try the Kinnickinnick pizza shells. I have never had a problem with those. I keep them in the freezer at all times. I take the left over pizza sauce from the first pizza and freeze it flat so I can break off what I need for future pizzas as there is much more in a jar than can be used for one pizza.

I love Glutino's pizzas. Their spinach feta version inspired me to make my own using Udi's crust. They both are a challenge though. I've tried several ways to improve Glutino's (and Udi's) crispiness. Although more effort is involved, they all work to one degree or another, IMO.

One, just cook it. Eat the outer part. Put the rest back in the oven. Cook some more. And so on, as neccessary.

Two, put lots of ingredients on the exposed outer edges before cooking. Then, follow #1. This is my preferred method.

Three, put aluminum foil on the edges and top. Cook for a while. Take the foil off. Cook some more. Then follow #1.

best regards, lm

I had the same problem with these pizza's and solved the problem, although it requires a 2 step plan of action! :P

If you notice, the crust when it comes out of the freezer is not flat like gluten frozen pizza's. The middle does not make contact with whatever you use to cook it on....I use a pizza stone. Even when the dough relaxes in the oven, it still does not sit totally flat. So, I cook it until it is almost done (however well done you like yours)and then use a pizza style roller cutter and cut it into 4 quarters. I put them back into the oven for a couple more minutes and now the dough is flat against the stone. It makes perfect crust this way and gets nicely browned and crisp in the middle.

I think the inherent nature of gluten-free dough leaves it not as elastic as regular, poison dough. ;) The dough will not relax enough to flatten out so I had to improvise. Works well! I think this brand of frozen pizza is one of the best and I have tried quite a few. It actually has some chew to it and the spinach/feta version is delicious. I have yet to try the Kinnikinnick version but that's next!

I noticed it, too. My solution is to make pizza from scratch. I know it's not as convenient as frozen, but it tastes so much better, and my husband prefers it over regular stuff. We've kind of turned it into a family affair... :)

I haven't found a prepared crust that I like, so I use Big Red John's Mill (or some of those words in a different order)mix. I find that I make the crust much thinner than they expect because I get two very large pizzas and a batch of bread sticks out of one package. The thin crust is crispier.

The Chebe Pizza mix, I heartily recommend. I've made it several times now, mini pizza addict here, and it's never let me down yet.

Thanks-I'm going to try the cook and re-cook method. I really like the convience of having a pizza ready-made in the freezer.

I will try the Chebe mix. I like the crust soft, but thin.

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.

      Gluten free stuff

      By Tammy Pedler · Posted

      As soon as I see gluten free I read the labels. I always find stuff that I cannot have on the products them selfs. Like spices, when the labels says  everything listed and then after like say garlic salt then the next thing is spices. When it says that that can contain wheat and other things I can’t have..

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While hypoglycemia isn't a direct, classic symptom of celiac disease, it's something that some individuals with well-managed celiac disease report, and there may be a few plausible explanations for why the two could be connected. The most common theory involves continued damage to the gut lining or nutrient deficiencies (like chromium or magnesium) that can impair the body's ability to regulate blood sugar effectively, even after gluten is removed. Another possibility is delayed stomach emptying (gastroparesis) or issues with the hormones that manage blood sugar release, like glucagon. Since your doctors are puzzled, it may be worth discussing these specific mechanisms with a gastroenterologist or endocrinologist. You are certainly not alone in experiencing this puzzling complication, and it highlights how celiac disease can have long-term metabolic effects beyond the digestive tract.

      Ibuprofen

      Paracetamol, aka, acetaminophen (Tylenol) just does not do anything for me as far as pain relief. It does help with fevers, though.
