I really enjoy pizza, but store bought or delivery pizza, even my homemade, is out of the question while following FODMAP. All the pizza contains wheat crust, and even if it doesn’t there is onion or garlic in the sauce. Also, it is usually topped with too much cheese to be allowed on FODMAP. I decided I would try and make my own. I used my regular crust recipe and replaced it with Krusteaz Gluten-free All-Purpose Flour. I also added a little more water than I usually do (already increased in recipe below).
I started out making the homemade pizza sauce.
While it was simmering, I mixed up the homemade pizza crust. Once the pizza crust was mixed up, I covered with plastic wrap to keep it warm while it rose.
I then shredded up some block cheddar and mozzarella cheese and fried up the hamburger.
I then spread the crust on the baking sheet and baked the crust for 5 minutes before putting the sauce and toppings on. I only put 2/3 cup pizza sauce on the whole pizza to limit the amount of tomato product consumed. One-half cup of canned tomatoes is allowed per meal. I then put the hamburger on generously and topped with no more than 1/2 cup cheese per serving (3 slices for me).
I baked for an additional 12 minutes.
This pizza did curb my craving for pizza, but I personally like more cheese (which is limited for the FODMAP diet). I think I’m going to try boxed gluten-free crust next time, but this crust does taste ok. Last time I made this crust using King Arthur Gluten-Free Measure for Measure flour and I liked it better than this time. My husband ate this pizza and he liked it as well. I will make this again.
