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.

      No, you don't necessarily need multiple testing methods to confirm celiac disease. There is an increasing trend for celiac diagnoses to be made on a single very high tTG-IGA test score. This started in the UK during the COVID pandemic when there was extreme stress on the healthcare system there and it is spreading to the US. A tTG-IGA score of somewhere between 5x and 10x normal is good enough by itself for some physicians to declare celiac disease. And mind you, that is the tTG-IGA, not the DGP-IGA. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac antibody testing, the one test most commonly ordered and the one that physicians have the most confidence in. But in the US, many physicians still insist on a biopsy, even in the event of high tTG-IGA scores. Correct, the biopsy is considered "confirmation" of the blood antibody testing. But what is the need for confirmation of a testing methodology if the testing methodology is fool proof? As for the contribution of genetic testing for celiac disease, it cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease since 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease while only 1% of the general population actually develops celiac disease. But it can be used to rule out celiac disease. That is, if you don't have the genes, you don't have celiac disease but you might have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).

      Okay yeah that helps! To answer your last bit my understanding was that you need to have multiple tests to confirm celiac. Blood, biopsy, dna, and then I think symptoms is another one. Either way I think everything has to be confirmed with the biopsy because that is the gold standard for testing (Doctors words). You also answered another question I forgot to ask about which is does a high value push to a higher % on those scales. I truly appreciate your answers though and just like hearing what other people think. Digging into forums and google for similar stuff has been tough. So thank you again!

      The tests outlined in the article I linked are rated according to "sensitivity" and "specificity". Sensitivity refers to how well the test does in not missing those who actually have the disease being tested for, in this case, celiac disease. The DGP-IGA test is estimated to have a sensitivity of 75% to 95%.  Specificity refers to how well the test does in not producing a positive score to medical conditions other than the one being tested for, in this case, celiac disease.  The DGP-IGA test is estimated to have a specificity of 90% to 100%. Obviously, in your case there is no issue with sensitivity. So, the only remaining question would be in relation to specificity. It is my observation from participating in this forum for many years and reading the posted test results from many, many forum contributors, that the likelihood of misdiagnosis due to a specificity issue diminishes greatly with high test score numbers. Still, there is a slight chance it could be due to something else. Think about it. If this were not so, why would your GI doc even be scheduling you for a biopsy?
