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

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @McKinleyWY, For a genetic test, you don't have to eat gluten, but this will only show if you have the genes necessary for the development of Celiac disease.  It will not show if you have active Celiac disease.   Eating gluten stimulates the production of antibodies against gluten which mistakenly attack our own bodies.  The antibodies are produced in the small intestines.  Three grams of gluten are enough to make you feel sick and ramp up anti-gluten antibody production and inflammation for two years afterwards.  However, TEN grams of gluten or more per day for two weeks is required to stimulate anti-gluten antibodies' production enough so that the anti-gluten antibodies move out of the intestines and into the bloodstream where they can be measured in blood tests.  This level of anti-gluten antibodies also causes measurable damage to the lining of the intestines as seen on biopsy samples taken during an endoscopy (the "gold standard" of Celiac diagnosis).   Since you have been experimenting with whole wheat bread in the past year or so, possibly getting cross contaminated in a mixed household, and your immune system is still so sensitized to gluten consumption, you may want to go ahead with the gluten challenge.   It can take two years absolutely gluten free for the immune system to quit reacting to gluten exposure.   Avoiding gluten most if the time, but then experimenting with whole wheat bread is a great way to keep your body in a state of inflammation and illness.  A diagnosis would help you stop playing Russian roulette with your and your children's health.

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @McKinleyWY! There currently is no testing for celiac disease that does not require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten (at least 10g daily, about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks and, to be certain of accurate testing, longer than that. This applies to both phases of testing, the blood antibody tests and the endoscopy with biopsy.  There is the option of genetic testing to see if you have one or both of the two genes known to provide the potential to develop celiac disease. It is not really a diagnostic measure, however, as 30-40% of the general population has one or both of these genes whereas only about 1% of the general population actually develops celiac disease. But genetic testing is valuable as a rule out measure. If you don't have either of the genes, it is highly unlikely that you can have celiac disease. Having said all that, even if you don't have celiac disease you can have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms as celiac disease but does not involve and autoimmune reaction that damages the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. Both conditions call for the complete elimination of gluten from the diet. I hope this brings some clarity to your questions.

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      By McKinleyWY · Posted

      Hello all, I was diagnosed at the age of 2 as being allergic to yeast.  All my life I have avoided bread and most products containing enriched flour as they  contain yeast (when making the man made vitamins to add back in to the flour).  Within the last year or so, we discovered that even whole wheat products bother me but strangely enough I can eat gluten free bread with yeast and have no reactions.  Obviously, we have come to believe the issue is gluten not yeast.  Times continues to reinforce this as we are transitioning to a gluten free home and family.  I become quite ill when I consume even the smallest amount of gluten. How will my not having consumed breads/yeast/gluten for the better part of decades impact a biopsy or blood work?  I would love to know if it is a gluten intolerance or a genetic issue for family members but unsure of the results given my history of limited gluten intake.   I appreciate the input from those who have gone before me in experience and knowledge. Thank you all!

      A little about me and my celiac disease

      By trents · Posted

      I know what you mean. When I get glutened I have severe gut cramps and throw up for 2-3 hr. and then have diarrhea for another several hours. Avoid eating out if at all possible. It is the number one source of gluten contamination for us celiacs. When you are forced to eat out at a new restaurant that you are not sure is safe, try to order things that you can be sure will not get cross contaminated like a boiled egg, baked potatos, steamed vegies, fresh fruit. Yes, I know that doesn't sound as appetizing as pizza or a burger and fries but your health is at stake. I also realize that as a 14 year old you don't have a lot of control over where you eat out because you are tagging along with others or adults are paying for it. Do you have support from your parents concerning your need to eat gluten free? Do you believe they have a good understanding of the many places gluten can show up in the food supply?
