Tried New "minute" Pizza Crust

Hubby and I just tried a new product for the first time -- Dairy-Free Minute Pizza Crust Mix from Fast & Fresh. Open Original Shared Link

I bought it from Amazon with my birthday gift certificate. (search Amazon on search string "Dairy-Free Pizza Crust")

Like their burger bun, you get 6 little packs that makes one serving of pizza crust each (the refill kit gives you 8), a piece about 4 x 4 (like a slice of bread). I added oregano and garlic powder for extra flavor. Dump the pack, mix with water (and whatever spices) and scrape out of the bowl into the mold they provide. Microwave 45 seconds and you have a light moist and spongy piece of bread/crust. I toasted it so it would be browned but I don't think it really needed it.

I assembled the top with a gluten-free pizza sauce, Hormel pepperoni and lotsa mozza and 10 minutes in the oven. It wasn't the best crust I've ever had but it was very good. It allowed us to have a piece of pizza as a quick lunch. It was nice not having to deal with a full recipe of dough, rising yeast, etc. (I'll be doing that later tonight for bread) The texture held up well, I could pick the piece up and eat it with my hand. It was also nice that we didn't have a whole pizza for just the two of us.

I may experiment with the next time using the pizza crust for a hot dog or sausage wrap. I make chebe into mini-pizza crust and freeze them but I like having a fast alternative for pizza when I don't have any more crusts in the freezer.

Next, I'll try the Quick-Bake Homestyle Biscuit Mix I ordered (from the same guys). It makes 2 biscuits at a time.

      R there any organizations that help with financial costs of food?

      By trents · Posted

      Moms Across America for one. Here's the article that kicked off long thread and more than one thread on Celiac.com this past summer:  Our community feels the testing needs to be tightened up. As of now, GFCO allows food companies to do self-testing and self-reporting. Testing is also done We strongly believe testing needs to be done more frequently and there needs to be drop in, unannounced testing by the FDA and certification groups.

      What celiac watchdog groups have looked into what you mentioned? Thanks.

      Welcome to the forum, @CiCi1021! Well, to begin with, most of us have found it isn't necessary to buy a lot of specifically labeled "gluten free" or "Certified Gluten Free" prepackaged food items as long as you are willing and able to cook from scratch. This is especially true since testing by celiac watchdog groups has cast some serious doubt on how consistently food companies are actually meeting gluten free and certified gluten free standards. It's probably just as effective and certainly less expensive to buy naturally gluten free mainline food products such as fresh meat, vegetables and fruit and prepare your own meals. The only major exception to that in my experience is loaf bread. It's very difficult to make your own gluten free bread products and have them come out decent with regard to texture. The major food companies have invested a lot into that component and have come up with some pretty good stuff that's hard to duplicate for yourself.

      Struggling with costs of all the special food.  Are there any organizations out there that will assist with costs?

      Should I get a second opinion?

      By trents · Posted

      I would ask the GI doc about the elevated IGA score of 401. That one is what we commonly refer to as "total IGA" and also known as "Immunoglobulin A (IgA)". It could be nothing but it can also indicate some other health issues, some of them serious in nature. I would google potential causes for that if I were you. Also, if there is a chance the GI doc will want to do more testing for celiac disease, either antibody testing or an endoscopy with biopsy, you should not cut back on gluten consumption until all celiac disease testing is done. Otherwise, you will invalidate the testing.
