good morning!

Does anyone have a gluten-free/cf/sf pizza crust recipe. I also can not do honey and/or maple syrup.

I looked online but could not find one that would work. Any help is appreciated!!

A :D

My pizza crust is gluten-free/cf/sf. I think it's pretty good, and my kids gobble it up.

2/3 c. All purpose gluten-free blend (i.e. Gluten Free Pantry, or a homemade blend like equal parts rice flour, tapioca, and cornstarch)

1/2 c. Tapioca Flour

2 tsp. xanthan gum

2 Tbsp. dry yeast granules

1/2 tsp salt

1 Tbsp. sugar

1 c. warm water

1 tsp vinegar

1 tsp. vegetable or olive oil

This makes one 12 inch pizza, or double it for cookie-sheet size, which is what I usually do. Whisk dry ingredients together. Add wet ingredients, and stir for 3 minutes. Spray pan with cooking spray (or if using a pizza stone, sprinkle generously with gluten-free flour), and dump dough onto pan.

Spread dough to edges, making a slight "lip" at the edges to hold sauce and toppings. You can start the spreading using a spoon, then sprinkle generously with gluten-free flour, and use your fingers, adding more flour as necessary so it doesn't stick too badly to your hands.

Bake in 425 F. oven for... probably about 15 minutes. :ph34r: I'm terrible at timing things. You want the crust to just barely start to turn tan (will probably turn tan in patches, that's fine, don't wait for the whole thing to be brown.) Pull from oven and add your sauce and toppings. Return to oven for about 10 minutes, or until toppings are done.

Notes:

If crust is a little gummy for your taste, do try it again, using less xanthan gum. This recipe is pretty versatile. I've replaced the all purpose gluten-free blend with sorghum flour (a bit better for you) a few times and it has a different flavor, but just as good. The tapioca flour is actually the key to a decent crust, I think.

I've also used this recipe to make mini pizzas to have in the freezer. The recipe above makes two good size mini pizzas, or three smaller (or thinner) ones. You can freeze the crust in freezer bags after it's baked, to have premade crusts. Or you can bake the crust, add the toppings, and freeze on a cookie sheet. Once frozen (so the toppings/sauce aren't wet,) then place in freezer bags. MUCH cheaper than premade gluten-free frozen pizza. If you make the crust thin, really watch it so it doesn't over brown- it gets tough and hard to bite when it over-cooks.

Another time saver is to just mix up the dry ingredients and store in a ziploc bag. If you go ahead and add the yeast, you need to store the mix in the fridge. I always have crust mixes made up ahead, and then it's quick to just add the water, oil, and vinegar.

Hope you like it.

I finally got to try this recipe and its very good, fast and EASY too! I used sorghum mix plus the extra tapioca, dash of basil, and beat the dough with a mixer. The dough spreads really easy with a spoon. It made 4 mini pizzas. I brushed the edges with olive oil after the first bake...mmm

The only trouble I had and keep having is doughy middles. I have to bake in a toaster oven and I don't have a pizza stone. I prebake in a pan, top, then bake on the rack.

I will try using less xanthan gum as stated above and maybe make 5 mini pizzas.

It's not a recipe but we absolutely love Open Original Shared Link. It's a staple around our house.

      I agree with @trents and wiping down the spot you eat your lunch, and eating the food your brought from home should be safe for even sensitive celiacs. Gluten can jump on your food, so it would likely better better for you to continue eating where you prefer.

      I would think that as long as you keep your food on a wrapper or on a paper plate you would not be at risk for cross contamination. You may be overthinking it all which is common for those in the first year of the celiac journey. But let me ask you. Are you feeling self-conscious about having a celiac diagnosis? I notice the term "isolated" in your thread title. Do you fear being shunned? I offer this video clip for your consideration:

      I’m worried about cross contamination, as people don’t clear up properly. I take my own lunch in a packed lunch box with my own cutlery, plate etc and wash it all at home everyday rather than using the schools communal options. There is always crumbs or food left out for us to share on tables etc.

      Welcome to the forum, @Tanya177! Help us understand why you don't eat with the other staff members at the present time. I'm assuming you already pack your own lunch rather than eating school cafeteria food. Surely there are other staffers who bring their own lunches. How would this be different if you did not have celiac disease?
