I love Amy's Rice Crust pizza. It is a cheese pizza, I just make my own toppings to put on it. I fry some hamburger (fry extra and put it in the freezer for the next time). I add onions and green peppers to the frying burger then add some mushrooms at the end to warm them up. I dump that on the Amy's pizza, top with more cheese and bake according to their directions. MMMMMMMM LOVE IT!!

My new favorite simple thing is to use white corn tortillas and put pizza sauce on them, then toppings (nothing too heavy or they will break). Top with cheese and bake at about 375 for 15 min. Mini pizzas in a hurry!! SOOO good!!

Enjoy!

I haven't tried many but I hear the Chebe one is awesome. I really like Namaste - it doesn't have any potatoes in it which is important for me. I made my first one a couple of months back and a friend was over - looking hungerly at my newly made pizza. I warned him it wasn't the usual crust but he had some and thought it was great! I was pickier about it than he was - but it was still very good.

Then there is this recipe which is really easy to make - just throw all the dry ingredients in the mixer/food processor, add the wet, and pat out on a sheet of parchement on a cookie sheet and bake first.

The directions with the official recipe are a little more intense than that but that is all I do and it works fine.

gluten-free *best* Pizza Crust

This crispy pizza crust tastes so delicious that your family and guests will never guess that it's wheat- and gluten-free. You can hold a slice in your hand, and it won't crumble! Make one large pizza, or shape the dough into four individual pizzas. For a mouth-watering pizza, top the crust with our easy, fat-free Pizza Sauce recipe (below):

1 T gluten-free dry yeast

2/3 cup brown rice flour or bean flour

1/2 cup tapioca flour

2 T dry milk powder or non-dairy milk powder or sweet rice flour

2 tsp xanthan gum

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp unflavored gelatin powder

1 tsp Italian herb seasoning

2/3 cup warm water (105 degrees)

1/2 tsp sugar or 1/4 tsp honey

1 tsp olive oil

1 tsp cider vinegar or 1/4 tsp unbuffered vitamin C crystals

cooking spray

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

In medium mixer bowl using regular beaters (not dough hooks), blend the yeast, flours, dry milk powder, xanthan gum, salt, gelatin powder, and Italian herb seasoning on low speed. Add warm water, sugar (or honey), olive oil, and vinegar. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes. (If the mixer bounces around the bowl, the dough is too stiff. Add water, if necessary, one tablespoon at a time, until dough does not resist beaters.) The dough will resemble soft bread dough. (You may also mix it in a bread machine on dough setting.) Put mixture into 12-inch pizza pan or on baking sheet (for thin, crispy crust), 11 x 7-inch pan (for deep dish version) that has been coated with cooking spray. Liberally sprinkle rice flour onto dough, then press dough into pan, continuing to sprinkle dough with flour to prevent sticking to your hands. Make edges slightly higher to contain toppings.

Bake the pizza crust for 10 minutes. Remove from oven. Spread pizza crust with sauce and toppings. Bake for another 20-25 minutes or until top is nicely browned. Preparation time: 45 minutes. Serves 6.

Chebe is absolutely terrific! You'll almost definitely have to order it offline; see Open Original Shared Link . Shipping is free and you pay less per mix if you order in bulk...order small at first, though, to make sure you like it. I have it at least once a week, and when there are leftovers we freeze them and I sometimes put one in the toaster oven when I get home from school for a snack.

I love it and highly recommend.

And it's really simple....the mix, eggs, oil, and water. Also, you'll find that it gets better the more times you make it, though...you start to learn how to make it better and better as time goes on.

Oh, sidenote...get the bread mix and follow instructions, but flatten it in a pizza pan for the crust. It works better than the acutal "crust" mix itself. And if you don't like it as pizza, you might like the bread balls dipped in something.

Ener-G's gluten-free pizza crust is also pretty good.

I tried another brand (can't remember the name brand, but it was in the frozen section), and I didn't care for it as much.

Good luck getting your hubby to eat a gluten-free pizza crust! I don't think they're bad at all. As long as I get the crust crisp, I just pile on the toppings and eat it up!
