Being gluten free is easier than you think...

Being gluten free seems difficult, if not impossible, at first but it's easier than you think. I'll explain how.

Gluten Free Pizza & Dominos Follow-up

Sorry about the delay in posting. Fiance and I got married last weekend and there was very little time for blogging. I hope you understand. In honor of our marriage, Fiance will now be called Husband, Hubby, or DH (Dear Husband). My new buddy and step-son will be called D-Man or Kiddo.

Before we left for the wedding we made a GF pizza. We made the crust from the Chebe Pizza Crust mix. Like all the other mixes this one was really simple to make and only needed a few extra ingredients. I suppose that you could add some yeast to the dough if you wanted a thicker crust. I didn't for this first round but I will definitely try it on the next go 'round. If you have tried adding yeast to the pizza dough will you please comment and let me know how it turned out? 

There is no pre-baking of the pizza crust needed. You will need some kind of pan to bake it on though. For the toppings we used a store bought pizza sauce, shredded mozzarella (of course. Pizza isn't complete with out the mozz!), shredded Monterrey jack, green peppers, onions, and leftover rotisserie chicken. DH loved how this one turned out. Like me, he's a pizza lover. Pizza was one thing that he sorely missed since being diagnosed. Well, I think we just found his replacement pizza!! Thanks Chebe!!!!


There are several wonderful reasons to make your own pizza...
1) You don't have to wait for it and hope that they got the toppings right;
2) You can put whatever you can think of on it; and
3) It doesn't cost a small fortune (unless you pick pricey toppings).

Speaking of spending a small fortune we decided to try the new Domino's GF pizza last night. I know that they warn that the GF pizza is not for people diagnosed with Celiacs but we decided to chance it anyway. DH asked another person we know who is also Celiac whether or not they had any issues with it. They did not so we decided to go for it. 

The pizza was actually delicious. The crust was really good and not at all cardboard like. We added the robust tomato sauce and DH's favorite toppings (Italian sausage, green peppers, and onions) to it. I have to say that I was really surprised. My only gripe is that the pizza is really small. It basically comes in an extra small. I thought a 10" pizza would be enough to feed DH, Kiddo, and I but I was really wrong. Good thing we ordered another pizza. If you have a group of people you will be feeding I recommend ordering 1 GF pizza for each person with gluten sensitivity and another pizza for everyone else.

I double checked with DH this morning and so far he has not had any issues with it. My personal review is that it's a really good pizza and I do recommend it but with reservation. If you are really concerned about having a reaction to the pizza please do not order it. Like I said in my first post, I am not an expert and do not want to cause anyone else to have troubles.

Let me know your thoughts on either the Chebe Pizza Crust mix or the Dominos Pizza. If you have any suggestions or other products I'd love to know about them.
