Gluten Free Pizza Crust Review!!!!


We eat pizza weekly......well alright sometimes twice weekly!  Getting good tasting Gluten Free pizza crust has been something we have tried to master for the past 3 Months!  We've tried dozens of recipes most were edible but not what we call pizza!  We have two local restaurants in the area that offer a Gluten Free crust pizza cooked in a dedicated oven for GF foods.  Not bad, but again we knew it wasn't what we expected pizza to taste like.

On a whim and after trying most every other prepackaged mix for making Gluten Free pizza that our local stores offer....my hubby found Mama Marys!  To say we were hesitant was an understatement.  We try a new recipe for pizza at least once a week and so far had been pretty let down.

The Verdict:  It's the best we've had so far and we would definitely eat it again!  It's super easy just add your toppings!

Cons: It may just be our oven but you have to find the balance between getting the crust crispy yet not burnt.  We struggled a little but I know we will improve as we continue to try to work with this crust.  

One of the biggest challenges with GF crust is that is is often to rubbery or moist.  This crust definitely solves that problem!  Plus, it was sooooo much easier than hand mixing together the dough we've being trying to perfect for weeks!  Mama Mary's is a winner in our house!

Let me know what's your favorite GF pizza crust?  Premade or a recipe!

Mama Mary's Gluten Free Crust!

We have seemingly been passing our sickness back and forth to each other and it's made a pretty terrible month.  But February is upon us and I can feel healthier days are headed our way soon!  So.....what's best to eat when your under the weather....Chicken Soup!  Now being gluten free has often times thrown a real monkey wrench into my  meals.  My 10yr old Turbo is PiCkY!  He actually prefers the taste of boxed mac &Cheese from you know who and he loved canned Chicken Noodle soup.  All my previous attempts at recreating his favorites were epic fails...until this past week!  So without further ado, our GF Chicken Noodle Soup that tastes just like the"real" canned variety! :-)

Leftover Chicken Carcass from either a store bought roaster or one you've cooked.
4-5 Chicken Bouillon squares (make sure it's GF)
3-4 roughly chopped Celery Stalks (pre-wash)
3-4 Carrots roughly chopped (pealing unnecessary) pre-wash
1 lg. onion cut into large chunks.
Sam Mills Gluten Free Fettuccine Noodles (break the long noodles into three sections)
12Q. Stock Pot
3-4 garlic cloves
1T. Poultry Seasoning
Salt & Pepper to Taste


First place your entire left over chicken into your stock pot.  Then cover with water until pot is about 3/4 full of water.  Add all chopped/washed veggies.  Bring to a boil then reduce to simmer for 3 hours.  Taste broth and if needed add Bouillon to enhance the flavor.   Strain the broth leaving you with a bowl of soft veggies and broken down chicken.  Now, you can take the carrots if you'd like and mash or cut them into tiny pieces and add them back into the stock pot with your broth.  You will also go through the bowl and pull out any good meat that has fallen off the carcass If you were just boiling with bones you'll need to add in some pre-cooked and finely shredded chicken.  Add in 1T. Poultry seasoning.  This is optional but I really feel like it enhances the flavor of the soup.  Allow soup to simmer.

Meanwhile bowl water for your Gluten Free noodles.  We are big fans of Sam Mill GF noodles and I found the Fettuccine noodles to work perfect.  I grabbed handfuls and broke them into three smaller pieces and cooked the noodles like that.   Grab a medium pot and bring some salted water to boil.  Stir frequently to prevent the noddles from sticking together.  Good approx. 9 minutes or until noddles are soft.  Drain the water and add the noddles to your soup.

This is our basic Chicken Noodle Soup that tastes like the canned stuff! (only better!)  Feel free to add to it.  Our goal in creating the soup was that it would be a simple replica of the canned stuff that Turbo loves and it got his stamp of approval.   Below is the link to the Sam Mill Noddles we use and love!
