Last night I made a calzone with the Brazilian brand Chebe bread. Wow! It had the tecture and chewiness of a real calzone. Just follow the recipe for the bread but take a rolling pin and flatten it as much as you can and then fill it up with cheese, sauce, and pepperoni. Good stuff!

I had that for dinner two nights ago! I love that stuff! I'm going to try recreating the mix with just tapioca flour at home, I need to start cutting back on my food budget....

I haven't had much luck recreating chebe from scratch. If you do come up with a recipe I'd love to hear about it.

I have been ordering the "No Frills" Chebe mix. It is the chebe mix in bulk instead of the individual packages. You have to measure it out, but that only takes a second and it is about half the price of the packages. If you are interested, here is the Open Original Shared Link. You have to scroll all the way down to the bottom to see the "no frills" options. We love chebe, and I get to use it a lot more often when I am not worrying about it bankrupting us. :)

We tried the Chebe pizza mix. Not so much. <_<

Although, I need to add the differential that my cooking skills aren't the greatest.

For pizza crust, we like namaste pizza crust. A bag makes two 13 x9 pans of pizza.

Thanks for the calzone tip though I'll have to try it.

I'll have to try that next. I miss pizza! I feel so bad having regular pizza when I know my DD can't. There's a gluten-free bakery who makes the most delightful gluten-free crust (sells it to local restaurants too) but it is WAY across town from me. I might just have to make the trek!

4 7" premade pizza crusts for $6.00!! Can't beat that! But it takes more than $6 in gas to drive there!

Here's a great crust that we make. I usually double it to make 2 large pizzas for my family of 5.

Pizza Dough

1 Tbsp yeast

2/3 c warm water -- plus 1 Tbsp

1 1/4 c rice flour

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 c tapioca starch

1/4 c potato starch

1 tsp xanthan gum

1/8 c sugar

1 egg

1 1/2 Tbsps corn oil

1 tsp cider vinegar

Proof yeast in warm water with a pinch of sugar. Combine dry ingredients.

Add eggs, oil, vinegar and then proofed yeast. Beat on high speed for 3

minutes. Dough will be sticky and wet, more like cookie dough. Turn out

onto board dusted lightly with potato starch. Coat dough just enough so

it doesn't stick to hands. Do not knead or add too much starch that will

make dough too heavy to rise, the moister the better. Line cookie pan or

pizza pan with parchment paper. Gently pat out dough to desired thickness,

just barely coating hands as needed. Cover with saran and let rise one

hour. Bake 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes after you add desired toppings.

Will just barely brown. Makes 1 large or 4 individual pizzas (kid's size)

**I don't use parchment, but I do spray the pan and then sprinkle with cornmeal.

I make calzones with the Chebe pizza mix all the time...honestly if it's cooked right, I don't know how everyone doesn't like it!! I was shocked to see so many negative comments about Chebe (on other threads)...it takes a good trial to see just how much liquid to put in and everything to make it come out great!!

I agree, the Namaste brand crust is the best I've had to date. The chebe pizza isn't nearly as good as cooking it as a calzone. Not sure why.

I love my chebe bread but since I started dieting and finally realized how many calories are in each bag and I eat them in two sittings (bread or rolls, two different days, pizza I eat half at a time), I have been staying away but I have been really craving it for a few weeks now. I think I will give in this weekend and treat myself.

Yeah, for some reason Chebe has to have a 'dry' outside in the oven to respond well. Makes lovely breadsticks!

      My Adult daughter is blaming me for her "possible" Celiac disease.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It sounds like you’re carrying a lot of guilt, but please know that you didn’t cause your daughter’s potential celiac disease or your son’s Crohn’s. These conditions have strong genetic components, and while diet can influence symptoms, it does not cause autoimmune diseases. You did the best you could with the knowledge you had at the time, and no parent is perfect. Your daughter’s frustration is understandable, but it’s likely coming from a place of fear and uncertainty rather than true blame. Let her get tested, and if she does have celiac disease, you can support her moving forward. Instead of focusing on guilt, try shifting the conversation toward healing and learning together. You’re not alone, and you don’t deserve to carry this weight on your own. This article might be helpful. She needs to be screened for celiac disease before she can be sure that she has it. Another approach not discussed in the article is a genetic test for celiac disease, which she could do without eating gluten.

      My Adult daughter is blaming me for her "possible" Celiac disease.

      By Marie70 · Posted

      Hello, My mid twenties daughter is blaming my husband and I for her celiac disease.  She has not been diagnosed at all, but GOOGLE has informed her she has it.  She is going to go get tested now, but my question is, did we?  I was not the best cook while she was growing up and often made quick processed food for meals.  She is blaming us for what she ate growing up and is angry that we didn't feed her better.  I don't know how to react and all I could tell her was I was sorry.  Her older brother has Crohn's disease and he was diagnosed as a teenager.  She is also furious with us that we didn't change his diet either.  I don't know why I didn't and I am having so much guilt I don't even know how to handle this situation.  Both sides of our family have a history of IBS, Celiac and Crohn's disease.   I guess I just wanted to hear from anyone out there that can either point blame at me (I can accept it) or tell me that the food she ate growing up didn't have an affect on her.  I am thinking it most likely did. Thank you, Marie

      High blood test numbers - with scales. Any advice?

      By RMJ · Posted

      I’d say celiac is likely.  Please continue to eat plenty of gluten until your endoscopy to be sure that any gluten-related damage can be seen.  Plus it gives you one last chance to enjoy your favorite gluten-containing foods. I hope the endoscopy/biopsies give you a definitive answer.

      I do also have the bloating, gas, constipation, hair loss, an auto-splenectomy that no one can see any reason for and some elevated liver enzymes that don't seem to have a cause, I also have joint pain and some spinal compression fractures that have no explanation.  I am only 42 so haven't had a bone density test yet.  My calcium was normal, but my D was a little low.  They haven't checked for any other vitamin deficiencies yet.  My blood test for an autoimmue disorder was quite high but my Thyroid was all normal.

      Hi, I have been having a lot of back pain and gut issues for 8 weeks or so.  I saw the GI on Monday and my results just came in from the lab.  Some of these number are high and off the little chart from the lab.  I am reading this correctly that I most likely have Celiac, right???  It would explain a lot of things for me.  She does have me scheduled for a colonoscopy and endoscopy in  2 weeks to do the biopsy.  I posted this prior, but forgot to put the range assuming they were all the same.  Someone advised me to repost with the ranges for some insight in the meantime. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 140 (normal) - Normal is 87-352 Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA 256 (High) - Moderate to strong positive at or above 30 Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgG 65 (High) - Moderate to strong positive at or above 30 t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 31 (High) - Moderate to strong positive above 10 t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG 10 (High) - Positive is at or above 10
