The Gluten Free Bistro’s Pizza Crust
Two of the biggest discussions here on Gluten Freeville revolve around cereal and pizza. This discussion will be no different – PIZZA! Everyone is looking for the perfect crust to replace that old familiar wheat-filled version from days gone by.When I decided to try The Gluten Free Bistro’s Pizza Crust, I knew it had to be great to beat out my favorite brand of crispy crust, and my favorite brand of pizza crust that I use for Panini, but this crust doesn’t compete with either of those. It just fits nicely into its own category of great “Neopolitan” crust with a soft, chewy center and crisp edges. No spongy rice crust flavor here!
I made two versions on the 2 crusts that I had. The first was topped with tomato sauce, a nice mix of mozzarella and provolone, some Italian seasonings and sliced fresh tomatoes. I baked this pizza on a baking sheet for 15 minutes and then broiled it for about 2 minutes. Yum!
The second version I made is my new favorite pizza! I topped it with Classico Roasted Red Pepper Alfredo Sauce (says gluten free on the back of the jar), the same mix of mozzarella and provolone, GF chicken artichoke sausage from Costco, some fresh chives, and a sprinkle of garlic salt. I baked it directly on the oven rack for 15 minutes, and then broiled it for 2 more minutes. Outstanding! The crust turned out a little crispier than the first, but still chewy in the middle and quite substantial and filling. Just right!I’m not only happy to recommend this pizza crust for the taste and texture, but also for the ingredients.
The Gluten Bistro Crusts are created by nutritionists and each 10” crust has 14 grams of protein, 9 grams of fiber plus B vitamins and calcium – all while being free of major allergens, non-GMO, and Kosher.
Contains: brown rice flour, buckwheat flour (yes- buckwheat is GF even though it has wheat in the name-it is not wheat), tapioca flour, sorghum flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, apple sauce, yeast, sugar (for inoculating the yeast), olive oil, garlic salt, water.
I emailed them and asked about their manufacturing process and got this response: “We are in the process of getting GF certified and are about to transfer our pizza manufacturing to a gluten-free facility here in Colorado.” Here is the current manufacturing information off their website: “Our pizza crust is hand-made, par-baked and frozen on site. The crusts are made in a gluten-free designated area of a facility that also manufacturers wheat. By par-baking the crusts, they go right from the freezer to the oven, decreasing the opportunity for the product to be cross-contaminated. We are meticulous about keeping the areas separated.”
