Pizza Dough

I love making homemade pizza dough, but often don't have time to do it right before dinner. Will it turn out ok if I make it a few hours ahead of time? I wasn't sure if it would rise too much with the yeast. If ok, should I refrigerate it or let it sit at room temperature before baking?

Also curious...can I freeze the dough? If so, should I pop it in the freezer right after mixing it, then let it sit at room temperature for a little while after thawing? I know I could bake the crust and freeze, but I think it would be nice to bake the dough when eating sometimes.

Thank you!

Holly,

I make mine, bake and then freeze. I'm not sure how the unbaked dough would freeze, thaw and rise, but once baked, the shells freeze great. This is the recipe I use. My DH says its the best crust he's ever had. I've also made flat bread out of it and foccacia. I make the crusts personal size so everyone can make their own.

I make the pizza crust from Bette Hagamn's book called "The Gluten Free Gourmet Cooks Fast and Healthy"

I saw the recipe posted on here too but I forgot where. :(

I make an extra crust. Bake it about 12 minutes. Let it cool, flip it out of the pan to cool the bottom of it. Then wrap and freeze it. Then another day its ready, just thaw it, top and bake until toppings are hot and cheese is melted.

I think you could prebake a crust part way, then put it in the fridge. Later in the day, take it out, top and bake.

Holly,

Have you tried Carol Fenster's recipe for pizza crust? I found it online at Recipezaar dot com--recipe number 44487. works perferctly each time and is quite tasty. Even my non-gluten-free husband loves this. when it is too hot to use the oven for pizza, try covering the pizza with foil and cooking it outside with the gas grill. Best of all, you dont have to wait for this dough to rise like regular pizza dough.

The recipe is also on the back of Bob's Red Mill Garfava flour. You can substitute the brown rice flour for Garfava flour for a healthier alternative.

This is the BEST pizza recipe, hands down.

I pre-bake it (not too brown), flash freeze it. Then I use the foodsaver to get the air out (or you could squeeze the air out of a ziplock freezer bag). When I'm ready to use it then I cook it --without thawing with sauce and cheese.

Rachelle,

That looks like a good pizza crust. I don't have chickpea flour. What would be a good sub? Any flour? I do have garfava flour, which I was thinking would be close. BUT...I have one daughter who seems to think all flours leave an after taste (well - at least the sorghum - which I totally don't taste)...so I am thinking garfava is a stronger flavor? Could I use potatoe starch? Millet?

Also, do you think I could use water for the milk? Or would that totally change it? I thought about subbing rice milk - but that might lend a sweet taste, I am not sure. I would probably be okay with it, not sure about my 2 daughters. (yes, have 2. One seems to notice aftertaste on stuff, the other doesn't - but thinking both of them would notice the rice milk).

Thanks!

Hi Dawn,

I never use the chickpea or garfava flour, I don't like the taste either. I use my own flour blend-I posted it on the cinammon roll thread-for the flours listed. I think you can also use water for milk (whatever kind of milk you want). I know the bread recipe I use says you can use either. I find this recipe to be pretty forgiving, it's always turned out right no matter what kinds of substitutions I make-and I tend to make a lot...

Hi Rachelle,

Thanks for the answer on the flours. I just noticed the recipe uses eggs. I am currently avoiding eggs (have eliminated them and have not done a challenge yet to see what effect they are or are not having).

I am thinking the egg would help with chewiness, holding it together? I am not sure if egg replacer would work in pizza dough - I am fairly new at using it. Do you think it would work? I am wondering if maybe I should try the egg replacer and also use a tsp of unflavored gelatin? Not sure if I need the gelatin - because I am not totally sure of what the purpose of the egg is.

Thanks,

Dawn :unsure:

I don't have any experience with the egg replacer, but I would think it would be fine to use. Someone else who reads this might have more info. I've never used the gelatin either... Sorry ;)

Thanks for the links purple! :lol:

I did make this recipe tonight with modifications so thought I would post. I used Ener-G egg replacer and water (instead of eggs). In place of the chickpea flour, I used brown rice flour. Next time I would like to sub out some of the flour for a little bit of millet. I might even try using some gelatin - but making my crusts a little thicker next time would probably help it be a bit more chewy.

All in all I think it came out well. I pre-baked them for about 15 minutes (they were still not crisp on the bottom and I was worried they wouldn't be done enough to top and bake again - but no worries - it was fine). I put parchment paper on top of my pizza stone and then put the dough on the paper. I spread with a metal spatula (what I would use to ice a cake). It was easy to spread on the parchment as it stuck to the paper (didn't lift up). I was able to get nice circles. (I didn't know what a baking peel was - referenced in the recipe).

I might try adding a small amount of spice to the crust the next time as well as trying something like rice milk or hemp milk (I don't know what hemp milk tastes like - but I need a bland milk sub so as not to flavor the crust). OR I might try brushing the crust with garlic butter - that would be really good and might add that little bit extra I am looking for. Also, I would like it to be just a bit thicker than mine turned out, so will spread a bit smaller in diameter.

After topping one of the crusts, I baked for almost 20 more minutes at 400. The crust was light brown, crispy on the bottom. Overall, it was a success! One of the better crusts I have made and very easy as well. I will be making more tomorrow for my freezer. :P I just need to adjust to pizza without cheese now - or try a non-dairy cheese -which just does not sound appetizing.

Kinnikinnick Foods makes an excellent gluten free pizza dough. If you ask your local grocery store (go straight to the manager) to order them, they will. Harry's Farmer's Market carries them. Kroger orders them if I ask.. They are frozen and they come in 7 inch or 10 inch. They don't taste like cardboard.

Thanks Josh! I have actually tried Kinnickinnick's crust - and I like it. I have a small stock pile in my freezer. :lol: For some reason it is not a favorite of my girls. They comment on the sweetness of the crust. :( Kinnickinnick gets my endorsement too for a purchased gluten-free product.

I do notice the sweetness as well, but overall it was the best I had found. I probably prefer it over the ones I have made from scratch, though my girls like my scratch ones. Go figure. ;) I think if I add some italian seasoning or brush my scratch ones with garlic butter - they might edge ahead of the kinnickinnick ones for me though - since they are soft and a little chewy and a little thicker.

Yea, I tried to make my own, but it wasn't as good as the Kinnikinnick Foods crust.

      Testing positive for antibodies, are there visible changes to the colon that could be seen without a biopsy?

      By trents · Posted

      Thanks for the additional information. I was thinking of asking you if your daughter was taking methylated vitamins since she has the MTHFR gene but you beat me to it. To answer the question you posed in your original post, as I explained, celiac disease does not damage the colon but the lining of the small bowel. If the damage is pronounced enough and the doc doing it is experienced, yes, the damage done to the lining of the small bowel can be spotted with the naked eye.

      I could not locate the correct Gary Brecka video where he explains the methylation process and specifically states things about how people with the MTRR homozygous gene mutation are known to suffer from heartburn due to a weakened valve/sphincter where the esophagus and the stomach connect.  My brother had the youtube video sent to him from 10x health which is probably why I cannot locate it.     I will have read up on mast cell activation.  I do not know anything about it.  Tums is my preferred gerd treatment.  I always figured a little extra calcium could not hurt me.

      Trents: Due to a genetic mutation, my daughter has inherited from both parents she cannot process the Folic Acid provided in the fortified American grains.   An MD told her to avoid eating fortified grains.   My daughter makes the assumption that unless she makes the food item, that the baker used a fortified grain so she has been limiting her gluten intake since 2020.   Her Psychiatrist was who tested her for MTHFR gene issue because she suffers from depression and severe anxiety. The Psychatrist also instructed my daughter to supplement with a methylated version of folate once she knew my daughter was homozygous, because the methylated version bypasses the mutated gene step so her body can absorb it.  Low folate absorption impacts serotonin and dopamine production.  My husband and I also both have two other homozygous gene mutations that interfere with vitamin absorption: MTRR and VDR taq.  The first interferes with B-12 absorption which requires us to take a methylated B-12 vitamin and the second with Vitamin D absorption so we have to take higher doses to stay within normal levels.   My brother, who has the exact same gene mutations, went through 10x health genetic testing for vitamin supplements (paid by his employer) and received a huge report saying the same things about which types of supplements had to be taken.  Gary Brecka does videos on how these gene mutations impact the vitamin absorption pathways.       If my brother had not gotten his testing through work, he would never would have started his supplement journey.  His testing is what triggered my getting functional health testing that tested similar biomarkers to his.  Again the celiac testing was an add-on test that I did off the cuff.

      Colonoscopy with large are of inflammation

      Welcome to the forum, @growlinhard1! If eliminating gluten from your diet makes significant improvement in your symptoms then there are two possibilities. Either you have celiac disease (aka, gluten intolerance) or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, aka, gluten sensitivity). The difference is that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that creates inflammation and, over time, damages the lining of the small bowel which inhibits nutrient absorption whereas NCGS does not damage the lining of the small bowel. They share many of the same symptoms. At the end of the day, the antidote for both is to abstain from foods that contain wheat, barley or rye, the three gluten-containing grains. Some countries supply stipends and healthcare benefits for those with an official celiac diagnosis. If you live in the USA that does not apply. The main reasons for seeking an official celiac diagnosis are psychological and social. Many people have a hard time not falling off the gluten free bandwagon without an official diagnosis. They find it easy to rationalize it all away as being temporary or due to something else. When you have an official diagnosis, you tend to take gluten-free eating more seriously. Socially, family and friends are more likely to respect and attempt to comply with your need to eat gluten free if you have an official diagnosis of celiac disease. Your physician is more likely to take you seriously as well if you have an official diagnosis because there are typically other health problems that are spinoffs which develop from celiac disease in time. One autoimmune disease invites others. There are no tests for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. We do have specific tests for celiac disease. By the way, some experts believe that NCGS can transition into celiac disease. If your endoscopy/biopsy is only a month away, I would encourage you to stick it out and go back on gluten to get an official diagnosis. You still have time to get a valid test result if you start back on gluten now, 10g of gluten daily which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread.

      dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks while on strict gluten-free diet

      By BoiseNic · Posted

      I have the same problem. No matter what I eat, I seem to get a break out every 1 to 2 months. I do not do oats, citrus fruits, apples, onions and other foods also, as those cause reactions. The only time I have zero problems is when I fast. The only staple grain I have is quinoa, as that doesn't seem to cause me issues. I have linked mine to a microbiome imbalance. I am currently on month 3 of Skinesa. It's supposed to take 3 months before seeing results. I guess we'll see.
