Really Goooood!!! I was SURE I was going to hate it because it doesn't rise at all and I'm not sure why yeast is even used. I'm using a pizza pan with holes in it. I also added parm cheese and garlic powder to the crust.

I generally don't like a thin crust, but it was crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. I'll need to double or triple the recipe next time because the pizza is pretty small.

I love this one because its easier to work with - its more like a batter than a dough. I get too frustrated with pizza dough because its so sticky.

See, Suzanna, you can have pizza!!! Let's see...now you need angel food cake?

Both recipes sound good and I've printed both of them.

Yes, Sylvia! I couldn't stand it any longer - the cravings for those foods. I think I ate 5 slices of pizza tonight. I bought all the necessary ingredients for one angelfood cake recipe. The pictures look good, but there are no reviews on the recipe. Once I conquer those two recipes, I think I'll start feeling a little more positive about my diet! That is, until the holidays are upon us! ;)

Glad you finally satisified that craving!!! I also craved pizza but was trying to avoid dairy right away. So when I finally did make it, I pigged out, too. :lol: Now I make it quite often.

You'll have to let us know how the angel food cake goes...I haven't made one yet. When the holidays are near, I'm sure someone will come up with lots of things you can make!

Wonderful recipe! I've been using it almost every Friday night over the past 2 months and my kids and I both love it!

It certainly heats up better than most gluten-free crusts as well!

I also melt butter and add garlic powder and salt and brush it on the crust when it comes out of the oven the final time - reminds me of Domino's crust.

I have even brushed it on before the 2nd cooking and it made the crust crispy (but easy to burn if you don't watch it.)

I've noticed that it doesn't rise, despite the yeast. I'm considering letting it rise for 30 minutes next time OR doubling the recipe to make for a thicker crust. Have you tried either of these?

I haven't made this recipe but most recipes involving yeast require you to "proof" the yeast first and also let it rise. This recipe just has you throwing everything into the bowl and mixing it, which explains why the crust didn't rise at all. Which is really strange because it has all the components you need to proof the yeast first. Ideally, what you should do is mix all the dry ingredients except the yeast. Then mix yeast, warm water and few tablespoons of the dry ingredients in a small bowl. Let it sit for 15-30 minutes or until it's bubbly and smells yeasty. Then mix the proofed yeast with the dry ingredinets and everything else, spread it out on the pan and let it rise for 30 minutes. The recipe I use for gluten-free pizza (King Arthur's gluten-free recipe) has two rises--you let it rise for 30 minutes in the bowl after mixing (covered in a warm spot) and then spread on pan and let it rise a second time. Proofing the yeast and letting it rise at least once should help the recipe a lot. Let us know how it works if you try it!

Well, I *did* proof the yeast. I just can't, in good conscience, not do that. Doesn't matter what the recipe says, I put the yeast in warm water along with some sugar and let it get frothy. I was wondering why it didn't require any rising. I might try this next time. That's how I would do it with "normal" dough. Plus, I would think it would be easier to work with once it rises. I'll bet it turns out a lot better if I do that. I'll let you all know!

I'm super excited to try out the recipe you posted Suzanna. My one weakness is pizza and if I can find a delicious replacement, then it will be much easier for me to stay gluten-free.

I plan on trying to make this pizza this weekend... key word "Try". I'm not the best cook. :-)

I love ranch sauce and red sauce, but am not sure what brand to use. Any recommendations? Thank you

      Do Antibiotics in Babies Increase Celiac Disease Risk Later in Life? (+Video)

      I had actually forgot about the stretch of time that I was on antibiotics for acne. The more I think back on it, I was on antibiotics for a very good chunk of my childhood and into teenage years for a range of issues.

      Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water

      I've heard RO water is bad, too. Distilled water has all the minerals distilled out of it, so it will pull minerals out of your bones, too. I only use distilled water to fill up my clothes iron so it won't get mineral deposits inside and quit working. I drink mineral or spring water.

      Scott. Thank you for your reply. I'm still having symptoms, but significantly better. I will go back to batch cooking and freezing vegetables. I have had success with Pict Sweet frozen, single item (not mixed) vegetables. My Kroger carries very little Pict Sweet variety. Regards, Yaya

      What would you do - neighbor brought gluten-free pizza from Papa Murphy's

      My neighbor's mom was diagnosed with celiac disease 16 years ago. She is a very kind person and has shared some info about local grocery stores and daily (soon to expire) meat deals. This evening she brought over 2 slices of Papa Murphy's gluten-free pizza. It looks to be topped with chicken and spinach. I asked, "aren't you concerned with cross contamination...

      Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water

      I am hesitant to post this as I have seen many people here recommending RO water.  With that said, I want to share my experience and how RO water now impacts me.  Three or four years ago a local store installed a RO water refill station.  I had been buying gallons of distilled and spring water prior to that.  I switched over to using the RO water refill station saving money by brining in my own clean empty gallon jugs.  Every 6-months I would replace the jugs by buying new gallons of distilled water.  This RO water is the only water I would drink while at home.  Two huge glasses every morning before work and two more after work.  I would also use the RO water to make coffee and hot coco. This past December, prior to my celiac diagnosis, my gut was making more noise than anything I had ever experienced.  Seriously, it was crazy, almost like fire works going off in my stomach.  I happened to pick up some distilled water for my 6-month jug rotation.  Literally, as soon as I started drinking the distilled water my stomach settled a great deal.  I could honestly feel the difference after the first glass of water.  I thought that maybe the RO water from the store's refill station was contaminated with some sort of cleaning agent.  I swore to myself I would never drink from that RO refill station again.  Instead I went back to buying distilled along with gallon jugs of spring water.  No issues with either of those as far as an upset stomach is concerned.  Cost, well that's a different story all together. After being diagnosed marsh 3c, I went shopping at Aldi's for the first time in my life.  I noticed they also sell water by the gallon.  Over the course of the last few weeks, I have purchased a total of 6-gallons of their water.  (Thankfully they were out on two of my visits.)  After having my stomach starting to make noises similar to mid-December again, it dawned on me, maybe its the Aldi water?  Initially I had contributed my bubble gut to some sort of gluten exposure or cross contamination.  Even though everything I have put into my stomach is naturally gluten-free or has been labeled gluten-free / certified gluten-free.  I had assumed that the Aldi water was spring water.  Come to find out, that was a bad assumption.  Looking close at the label it says purified by RO or distillation (or something like that). Again, I switched to different water.  Just like last December, the non-RO water instantly calmed my stomach and even felt better going down the hatch.  This was earlier today by the way.  Prior to creating this post, I did a few searches via Uncle Google.  I bumped into a thread on Reddit (where I am not a member) that has multiple people complaining of GI issues related to RO water.  So my initial thoughts on a cleaning agent in the refill station RO water were likely not correct.  Unfortunately, it seems the RO water itself causing me problems.  I am not sure if we are allowed to post links to other sites and hopefully I will not get into trouble for doing so.  I did try printing the Reddit thread to a PDF file.  Unfortunately, the file is 2MB in size, which is well over the 500KB file attachment limit here on this amazing forum.  Again, hopefully this is ok.  🤞  Here is the Reddit thread. This may not be a popular opinion here, but personally, I will not willingly drink another glass of RO water for the remainder of my life.  Who knows, maybe drinking RO water for the past several years is part of what activated my celiac?  No proof, but just a thought.  Come to find out RO water is well known to leech minerals from your body.  With people like us often lacking minerals to begin with, RO water does not seem like a wise choice.  As the Reddit thread mentions, there are RO water filtration systems that will inject minerals back into the water.  However, those systems are likely not being used at the grocery store refill stations nor by the bottling companies producing RO water for sale at your local store. Please do not shoot the messenger as I am just sharing my personal experience and letting others know that most RO water will leech minerals from your body. God bless and stay well, Known1

      My neighbor's mom was diagnosed with celiac disease 16 years ago.  She is a very kind person and has shared some info about local grocery stores and daily (soon to expire) meat deals.  This evening she brought over 2 slices of Papa Murphy's gluten-free pizza.  It looks to be topped with chicken and spinach.  I asked, "aren't you concerned with cross contamination"?  She said no and apparently eats it on a somewhat regular basis. I found an old article here along with another thread pertaining to Papa Murphy's gluten-free pizza.  The article is quite old, so I do not think it holds much weight nowadays.  The thread I found was also a bit dated, but certainly more recent and relevant.  The information in the thread I found was a bit inconclusive.  Some said they trust Papa Murphy's gluten-free pizza and others were a big no way.  One person even took time to train their local franchise on how to ensure the pizza remains gluten-free without cross contamination. Anyway, being recently diagnosed as marsh 3c, I am currently working on week 3 or 4 in my new gluten-free journey.  I do not want to be rude and toss the pizza out, but I also do not want to have a reaction.  Since she has celiac and obviously ate much or at least some of the pizza, I am leaning towards eating the two slices for lunch tomorrow.  As this thread's title states, what would you do?  Would you eat it or toss it out?  I suppose I could also just give it back to my neighbor to polish off. I look forward to reading your thoughts. Thanks, Known1

      That must have been really upsetting to discover, especially after relying on a product you believed was safe. Labeling can change at any time due to supplier shifts or shared equipment, so it’s always important to double-check packaging—even on products we’ve trusted for years. A “may contain wheat” statement usually indicates potential cross-contact risk rather than an added ingredient, but for people with celiac disease that risk can still be significant. If you’ve been having symptoms, it may take days to weeks to fully settle, depending on the level and duration of exposure. In the meantime, switching to fresh produce or brands that clearly state gluten-free status is a reasonable step. It may also help to contact the manufacturer directly to ask when the labeling changed and what their current cross-contact controls are.
