Help With Italian Cooking!

Hi Everyone,

This is my first post, and just want to say that I really appreciate this site! What a wealth of knowledge!

I own a pizzeria and we just added gluten-free pizza. Sales are doing well, and I'm working on an entire gluten-free Italian menu. (My new celiac customers are all but begging me to :))

I have 2 questions:

1) I'm looking for a recipe for a gluten-free hoagie/steak roll. I need something that I can make from scratch. If I have to spend to much on a mix, I'd have to charge too much for the finished product. I'm trying to keep my prices as fair as possible.

2) I'm looking at DeBoles or Tinkyada pasta (lasagna, large shells, penne). Can they be cooked, portioned, and frozen; then thawed at a later date?

Thanks in advance for your input!

Heather

Hi Kate!

We're located in Bethlehem, PA. About 45 minutes NW of Philadelphia. Your reaction is pretty much the same that I'm getting from everyone.

This past weekend, we had 1 family down from NY state, and 1 from Northern NJ. Plus 4-5 local families. I knew the "locals" with Celiac Disease would be excited, but I never thought people would travel so far for pizza!

Do you have a website? Can you give me your address? I live about 1hr and 20 min away from Bethlehem.

I've never frozen tinkyadas, but they do hold up well in a thermos for kids going to school. They don't get mushy. I don't know about deboles. You'll probably have to try a small portion out to see if they turn to mush after freezing then reheating. Knowing that they stay firm enough while being kept warm should mean they'll make a great "daily special" that can be kept in a hot tray. You should scour the baking section here. There are many great cooks amongst the ranks of Celiacs here. I've seen many recipes for hot dog/hamburger buns from scratch. There's gotta be one around here somewhere. Try my "sloppy Pizza" recipe in your gluten-free pizza selection. I make them with Manwich Sloppy Joe sauce which is gluten free and chopped meat and moxzzerella. :D

I meant Mozzerella, of course. Wouldn't want you to think it was some weird Chreese concoction. :blink:

I use the Tinkyada giant shells. After cooking and filling them, I freeze them on a tray. I have read gluten-free pasta is not good in salads since it gets hard. I love having almost cooked meals in the freezer since eating out has become more difficult.

Wish you were closer - 800 miles is a bit of a trip for dinner. I know I should have never relocated.

      Son's legs shaking

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      Hi,  My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
