I know I saw a recipe for a pizza crust made out of rice, but I can't find it. Anyone have a good one or point me in the right direction? Thanks

You can find really some good recipes in gluten free cookbooks. I randomly tried one the other week from one of my gluten-free cookbooks and the pizza was good. I can post the recipe if you're interested.

Here is a recipe I posted some time ago. It is great. Claire

RICE PIZZA

3 cups cooked rice (white or brown)

2 eggs beaten

1 cup grated Mozzarella cheese (or a sharp cheddar)

2 cans chunky pizza sauce

1/2 - 1 tsp each oregano and basil

salt to taste

MIX: first three items. SPREAD on greased 12 inch pizza pan.

BAKE at 450 - 20 mins. REMOVE from oven. COVER with the following

three ingredients.

TOP with meat of choice - 1-1/2 lbs cooked hamburg or cooked turkey or chicken sausage. Onions, peppers, mushrooms can be added at this point. SPRINKLE with 3 TBSP. Grated Parmesan cheese. BAKE an additional 10 - 12 minutes.

I personally use brown rice - it is more nutritious and really tastes better. I do not add salt. I usually use hamburg and lots of the veggies on top. The rice crust holds up better than a dough crust so you can

have leftovers that are not soggy

Foods by George, Dad's, kinickinnick,Hilights have ready made crusts and many of the gluten-free bakeries have them... Amy's has a gluten-free totally made pizza as well as Foods by George. I'm sure there are others out there. Gillian's has frozen pizza dough too.......I think I miss real pizza the most!!!!!

I see from replies here that most everyone is buying gluten-free pizza crust. I have never done that - even before going gluten-free. The recipe I put up was one I used for a long time as a standard. Unique and very delicious. I do hope some of you will try it. You will be surprised how good it is. It doesn't get soggy after standing awhile and reheats well. Claire

Claire, your pizza crust sounds like a winner. Do you have a suggestion for those of us who couldn't use the cheese in the crust? (I went cf again last week, and my body is really thanking me for it.)

Here's a pizza crust recipe from Carol Fenster. I got it out of her cookbook "Cooking Free", which is my favorite gluten-free cookbook of all time. The recipe is also available online, here: Open Original Shared Link . It's main flour ingredient is rice flour. My whole family likes this recipe.

Hi Jaten:

I certainly think it is a winner. It beats 'regular' crust for this family.

As for the cheese. I would look into subbing soy cheese is you can handle that or some of the rice cheese substitutes that are available - better I believe than the soy ones and more acceptable for many people.

ALSO: if you use very aged cheese - 6 months or more - older the better - you will find that you don't have the same 'dairy' response. This is also true of high fat cream - even light cream. Moderation though - if you overdo it you will have problem. I am lactose intolerant but am currently using a half and half gingerale and heavy cream to gain weight. I don't have to take any dairy pills. However, I can't take milk at all! If you are will to try to it you may find that you can tolerate the high fat dairy products and the very aged cheese.

I would also try making it without the cheese - just adding some moisture so it clings together well. No doubt that it's the cheese that makes this taste so good.

Rice cheese substitutes??? This is the first I'm even hearing of them. What are some names? Where can I buy them?

I can't do soy cheese, (soy and dairy are the 2 intolerances I seem to have in addition to Celiac). Sure, I'm willing to try aged cheese. I won't "test" gluten, but I'll test dairy. This may be a silly question, but how do I know if the cheese is 6 mos or older? (obviously not a cheese connoisseur...I usually bought Kraft cheddar, colby, or jack)

LOL I don't need too much of the high fat dairy. I lost 40 lbs in malabsorption, but need to lose another 25. Funny how it works....went gluten-free and the malabsorption stopped and so did the accompanying weight loss.

      Hello there! @Jordan Carlson , you said "Now the last 3 ish years I have been sick more than I ever have been in my life. Could it be my immune system was so tired/fatigued prior to diagnosis that it just wouldnt turn on anymore? And now that my stress and inflammation is down its functioning stronger?" I think you may have that backwards.  Your immune system was running in high gear with undiagnosed Celiac Disease, and therefore fighting infections like colds and viruses before you had any symptoms.  Now that you've gone gluten free, your immune system may be depressed and not able to mount a strong immune response to colds and viruses because it is running low in essential vitamins and minerals needed for that immune response.  Hence you have more infections and worse symptoms now.   For strong immune responses, our bodies need vitamins and minerals that may be lacking on the gluten free diet.  Supplementing with essential nutrients boosts our ability to absorb the vitamins and minerals while our intestinal villi are healing in the first few years of recovery.   Many are low in vitamins and minerals that help our immune system, like Vitamin D, Vitamin C, zinc, iron, the eight B vitamins, especially Thiamine, selenium, and magnesium.   Have you talked to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing with vitamins and minerals?   Correcting nutritional deficiencies is frequently overlooked after diagnosis.

      @trents I do take all the recommended vitamins and excersize regularly. Basically do all things labeled as a healthy lifestyle haha. Thats why I was thinking more this is my immune system now having the energy to fight viruses rather than being too stressed out as I have heard that it is a common thing when your body is over stressed due to underlying autoimmune diseases

      Jordan Carlson, Wheat flour is fortified with vitamins ("enriched") where as gluten free facsimile flours are not. So when you eliminate wheat flour from your diet you may lose a significant source of nutrition. At the same time, gluten-free prepackaged foods are practically devoid of vitamins and minerals, consisting mostly of highly processed high carbohydrate grain substitutes. Lots of rice flour and tapioca. Have you compensated by adding in some high quality gluten free vitamin and mineral supplements? We typically recommend this for new celiacs, especially at the front end of recovery before there has been very much healing of the small bowel villous lining and nutritional absorption is still poor. Edit: I edited my other post to direct it to Sanna King's post.

      Hey there @trents. I wish I could edit my original post. I am talking about getting a cold way more often, not gluten poisoning.
    • trents
      Reply to Sanna King: As you have withdrawn gluten from your diet you have lost all tolerance to it that you had when consuming it on a regular basis. This is normal. Not everyone experiences it but it is common. It has been my experience as well. When I was consuming gluten every meal every day for years after the onset of celiac disease but before diagnosis I would experience mild GI symptoms like a little occasional diarrhea. After being gluten free for a significant time, any major exposure to gluten would make me violently ill. Hours of severe cramps and vomiting followed by hours of diarrhea. Like when my wife made me gluten-free biscuits and made herself wheat flour biscuits and I got them mixed up and ate a couple. I am not a super sensitive celiac in the sense of being made ill by small amounts of cross contamination but if I get a significant exposure like I just described it is awful.
