are you a celiac ... i'm not a 'full blown' celiac, but i'm developing nasty aversions when i eat wheat and/or gluten ... so i've decided to just give it up; it hurts too much when i eat it.

i'm looking recipes that have been tried and enjoyed !!

so if you are a celiac or you know someone else who is, and you've got recipes to share ..... BRING THEM ON!!

This crispy pizza crust tastes so delicious that your guests won't know it's wheat and gluten-free. You can hold a slice in your hand and it won't crumble! You may also shape the dough into four individual pizzas.

1 tablespoon gluten-free dry yeast
2/3 cup brown rice flour or bean flour
1/2 cup tapioca flour
2 tablespoons dry milk powder or non-dairy milk powder*
2 teaspoons xanthan gum
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin powder
1 teaspoon Italian herb seasoning
2/3 cup warm water (105 degrees F)
1/2 teaspoon sugar or 1/4 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
Cooking spray

Heat oven to 425 degrees F.

In medium bowl using regular beaters (not dough hooks), blend the yeast, flours, dry milk powder, xanthan gum, salt, gelatin powder, and Italian herb seasoning on low speed. Add warm water, sugar (or honey), olive oil, and vinegar. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes. (If the mixer bounces around the bowl, the dough is too stiff. Add water if necessary, one tablespoon at a time, until dough does not resist beaters.) The dough will resemble soft bread dough. (You may also mix in bread machine on dough setting.)

Put mixture into 12-inch pizza pan or on baking sheet (for thin, crispy crust), 11 x 7-inch pan (for deep dish version) that has been coated with cooking spray. Liberally sprinkle rice flour onto dough, then press dough into pan, continuing to sprinkle dough with flour to prevent sticking to your hands. Make edges thicker to contain the toppings. Bake the pizza crust for 10 minutes. Remove from oven. Spread pizza crust with your favorite sauce and toppings. Bake for another 20-25 minutes or until top is nicely browned.

Oh nice Kessers! Thanks for posting those... my 7 year old niece is allergic to wheat and I'm gonna send these recipes along to my mom and sister for her. I know there are many more recipes and food items in the States than in Taiwan that are wheat and gluten free so Carmen shouldn't have any problem while she is here

And, if I come across any I'll post here! GBU Kessers and all!

Why have I not seen this before now?!

Thanks for the recipes Kess. I'm anxious to try them. I hope they turn out. I have terrible luck with gluten free foods.

If you have any more tried recipes please let me know.

Is oat flour gluten free? I thought it wasn't cause they sell gluten free oatmeal.

Hello Everyone

I was just passing by and thought I'd throw in my 2 cents worth

Oat flour is gluten free, but sometimes the places where it is milled, they also mill wheat flour -- using same equipment -- and therefore could allow for gluten contamination into the oat flour. Oat flour; however, that states "Gluten-free" on the label is basically saying that the miller, insured that no cross-contamination took place.

Cool, huh?

God bless you all.
Love,
Mack
