If you are one of the many people that cannot digest gluten and have had a hard time finding great tasting gluten-free options, you're not alone. What usually seems to be the case is that it is possible to find a gluten-free food such as a gluten-free pizza crust only to have your hopes dashed when you taste it and realize it tastes more like a candy bar with coconut in it, or has the texture of an old shoe.

Making gluten-free pizza crust yourself has a lot of challenges, due primarily to how prevalent gluten is. Gluten is often used as a binding agent in everything from candy to baked goods. It's even found in some cosmetics and medicines too. The growing awareness of celiac disease and improved diagnosis of this condition has caused people to be more aware of what they're eating. At present we don't know the causes of celiac disease, but what we do know is that there seems to be a genetic component. But finding ingredients that make your pizza crust not only have the right texture but the right taste as well is tough in the face of celiac disease or other form of gluten-sensitivity.

Gluten-Free Pizza Crust

Some gluten-free pizza crust has the texture of those old school frozen pizza, aka, cardboard crust. Others have the right textures, everything from deep dish and chewy to thin and crispy and crunchy, but when you take a bite of them, you get a coconut aftertaste, which doesn't mix well with normal pizza ingredients such as tomato sauce, garlic, and Italian seasoning. Or you taste any number of other flavors that don't go well with pizza, such as mayonnaise, tartar sauce, or chicory. Or even worse, some of the "gluten-free" ingredients in the crust actually contain trace amounts of gluten, which defeats the purpose. Even small amounts of gluten can trigger an allergic response, leading to anaphylactic shock. So remember, gluten-free doesn't have to be dangerous, nor does it have to taste forgettable. Your best bet is to buy gluten-free pizza crust online.
