I'm ridiculously proud of my gluten free, soya free egg free pizza slices!

[Roseylea]

Yes I am! Dd was asking for pizza the other day, so I had a go tonight and it was a roaring success!

I cut up a skinless chicken breast and cooked it in a small roasting tin in the oven, and at the same time made a tomato sauce (tinned toms) then 5 mins before the end of the chicken's cooking time I poured the tom sauce over it, put some sliced tinned pineapple pieces in, and covered it in cheese. Then I toasted some gluten free bread and spooned the chicken / pineapple / toamto / cheese mixture over the top of the toast. It didn't go soggy as it was only assembled at the last minute.

I'm really proud of myself!

Well done, very creative!

If your dd can tolerate spelt flour I find that this makes a decent pizza base in the breadmaker.

Do you need egg with that, Indignatio? My version was v. quick and easy - using ready made g-f bread. I've never made g-f bread, actually - have you had any successes? The reason I haven't tried it is the only recipes I've seen include egg. I'd be really interested to hear if there's any way around this.

No egg in pizza bases
Cup = 8 fl oz or 250 ml

3 cups spelt flour
1 cup water
Sachet of quick yeast
teaspoon (I use less) salt
tablespoon (I use less) sugar
Tablespoon olive oil

Set breadmaker to dough only setting - also possible to make by hand and let prove

Then roll out as thinly as possible, add pizza toppings and bake

This recipe also makes reasonable dough balls - do give them chance to rise again after you have created them

Spelt is still very high in gluten isn't it?
I've tried making cakes with gf flour but they turn out like biscuits.

I saw gf pittas the other day, they would probably make good pizzas cut in half. I've never tried actually making bread though.

Roseylea - well done! My son is gluten/milk/eggfree so I know what it is like. I still remember the joy at producing my first gluten/milk/eggfree birthday cake! Spelt flour, by the way, is not glutenfree and should not be used by coeliacs or those allergic to gluten.

You'll find some recipes here which might be useful:

I actually posted the yeastfree/glutenfree/wheatfree/milkfree/soyafree bread recipe. It does make a lovely bread (even my husband who is not gf likes it) - best eaten freshly baked, or refreshed/toasted in the microwave after freezing, though son does take it out as sandwiches with plenty of spread on it. It's not a fluffy bread though - it is quite a firm texture. You can experiment with sweet and savoury versions.

Anyway, take a well deserved bow!

Got excited when I saw this but I can't have the cheese or the yeast - when will be able to eat pizza again

Flaming off to look at your recipe

MrsCarrot, GF cakes are really easy to make and taste just like ordinary ones. 100g flour,100g butter or margarine, 100g caster sugar, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon baking powder, half teaspoon of xanthun gum. Mix all at once, 20 minutes at 180C. Mmmm cake!

I usually use Doves Farm GF flour or sometimes rice flour. I think the baking powder and xanthan gum probably are quite important as I've never tried making them without.

You can get GF pizza bases in sainsbury's and tesco which aren't half bad....but well done for the effort.

The xanthan gum is crucial in GF recipes as it replaces the "doughiness" of gluten.

spelt definately a no-no for coealiacs, but may be OK for wheat allergy/intolerance sufferers.

I should do more with GF recipes and have a book called GF bread from your bread machine, but never get around to it

ah, yes, I follow that recipe exactly apart from the xanthum gum and butter. That is where I have wrong obviously. I thought it was the combination of dairy and wheat free that made it dreadful. I will buy som of that and try it. Thanks.

'gone wrong' and 'some'
