PIZZA CRUST

This is transcribed from an enclosure that used to be in the Gluten Free Pantry French Bread and Pizza mix.

1 box GFP French Bread and Pizza mix (w/ enclosed packet of yeast)

1-3/4 cups lukewarm water or milk

1 tsp cider vinegar

1 Tbsp sugar or honey

1/2 tsp salt

1/3 cup olive oil (or melted butter)

2 eggs plus 1 egg white

Preheat oven to 450F.

Lightly oil two 12-1/2 x 1" round pans. In a bowl, combine yeast and pizza mix.

In a separate bowl, beat eggs for 3 minutes. Do not stop mixer, slowly add the pizza mix and continue mixing for one minute. Add the sugar and salt and continue mixing for 1 minute. Add the oil and keep mixing. Add the vinegar to the water to dilute in a small bowl and add to the mix. Keep mixing for 2 minutes.

Spoon into an oiled pan.

Cover the pan with plastic wrap. For best results, let rise 35-40 minutes. Brush entire surface lightly with olive oil. Beginning with sauce of your choice, layer desired toppings on crust. Bake for 15-17 minutes (to desired brown color and top crispness).

Yield: 2 pizza crusts.

We prefer a thinner crust, so we make three crusts instead of two. Those that we bake and store are baked for 10 minutes initially (with the oil applied), and then refrigerated. When we take them out of the fridge and top them, we then bake them for another 10 minutes or so.

Hi Karen,

have you had a look at the Pizza Making Forum ? there is a Gluten Free Section.

Plus look at the Monthly Challenge (this month March) is to make a Pizza without a dough crust.

There's been interesting entries, Rice based crusts, Sweet Potato Crusts, Sausage meat and rice flour crusts. Look at off-topic foods they have some gluten-free Entries that don't pertain to Pizza .

Best Regards,

My SIL gave me a recipe for a cauliflower crust. She has made it & said the teens liked it. I saw one I copied on this site for one made of cheese & more cheese (a lot fat option ;) ). Thanks, I'll check it out.

I tried a crust made w/ cheese and it was just okay. It got completely soggy w/ toppings. I'm now a huge fan of Namaste pizza crust mix that I just found in my health food store (I live in rural Arkansas and gluten-free options in stores are mighty slim). One bag makes 2 pizzas, but you can measure out just 1 crust's ingredients. I spread it out on parchment paper on top of our Pampered Chef pizza stone and the resulting crust is PERFECT... thin and crispy!!!

      Diagnosed w Celiacs, but reacting to gluten-free Digiorno Pizza AND Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing

      By trents · Posted

      As I suspected, xanthan gum is one of the ingredients. It is a polysaccharide used as a texturing agent in many gluten-free products. It's hard to digest and causes distress for many celiacs. I can't say for sure if that was the problem but you might be on the lookout for it in the future. Muscle spasms can be caused by magnesium deficiency. Are you taking any vitamin and mineral supplements? I mean some things more potent than a multivitamin?

      Hello @Suze046 In the western world 40 to 60 percent are low or deficient in Vitamin D.  Malabsorption from Celiac Disease, avoidance of UV from the sun and seasonal variations can result in low vitamin D.  A simple 25(OH)D test will tell you your status.  Low vitamin D affects immune system, bone health, mental health.  I keep mine around 80 ng/ml (200 nmol/L). Choline has many functions in our body.  From the neurotransmitter Acetylcholine to fat digestion.  It is made by our bodies but in insufficient amount.  The major dietary source is from beef and eggs.  The RDA is 500 mg a day.  That would be equivelant to 3 eggs or 10 cups of cooked brocolli a day.  Choline is a significant portion of biliary phospholipids and is a crucial element for bile function.n.  I found taking Phosphatidly Choline capsules helps.  A homocysteine test can be indicative of choline deficiency.  Could we be overlooking a potential choline crisis in the United Kingdom? NIH Choline Fact Sheet Vitamin D Is Not as Toxic as Was Once Thought

      @trents thank you so much for your response!  When i was diagnosed, I was exhibiting mainly joint pain, hair loss, bloating, and allodynia (painful feeling from non painful stimuli). The muscle spasms only started after diagnosis, and it seems to only happen when I am severely glutened. It’s only happened twice, but it definitely makes me nervous when it happens.    In regard to the pizza, thats what i saw after i got sick from it. I’m still trying to figure out how to switch to ALL certified gluten-free goods.    for the dressing, here is the ingredient list:  WATER, VEGETABLE OIL, VINEGAR, SUGAR, GARLIC, SALT, RED BELL PEPPER, ONION, CONCENTRATED LEMON JUICE, XANTHAN GUM, POTASSIUM SORBATE, HERBS, CALCIUM DISODIUM EDTA, MONOACETIN, SPICES. and the link: https://www.kraftheinz.com/en-CA/kraft/products/00068100903577-zesty-italian-salad-dressing

      Welcome to the forum, @annamarie6655! Are the muscle spasms and joint aches a new pattern of reaction to gluten or have you experienced these in the past? Concerning DeGiorno's "gluten-free" pizza, we have had many reports from celiac.com members of gluten reactions from consuming this product. I believe it is one of those "gluten-free" products that is made from wheat (speaking of the crust component) that has been processed in such a way as to remove most of the gluten. The FDA regs allow food companies to use the claim "gluten-free" as long as the product contains no more than 20ppm of gluten. This works for most celiacs but not for those on the more sensitive end of the spectrum. There is another industry standard known as "Certified Gluten-Free" that is stricter, requiring no more than 10ppm of gluten. Certified Gluten-Free products use the "GFCO" logo. Concerning the salad dressing, could you list the ingredients in another post or link it? There are certain other ingredients besides gluten commonly used in gluten-free manufactured food items to give them acceptable textures that give a lot of celiacs problems.

      Hello, so I was diagnosed with Celiacs about 8 months ago. After being diagnosed, I have been trying very hard to maintain a completely gluten-free (and celiac safe) diet.  Two of the main times I had a huge reaction, it was from: - gluten-free Digiorno Pizza w Pepperoni - Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing (this was in canada if that changes anything) Both are marked as gluten-free. Following eating these items, I had a severe bout of diarrhea, uncontrollable and heavy muscle spasms throughout my whole body, and aching throughout every joint.   If these are both gluten-free, why would I be reacting to them? Should I be worried about a separate allergy?  In regards to the muscle spasms, should I follow up with someone about that?
