  2. Poorly written

    What is the point in splitting the water up in the ingredients list when it just all goes in at the same time anyway? Caused me to put too much in and ruined the dough.

    1. Charlie,
      Sorry you had difficulty, but the purpose of the first water addition is to ensure you have active yeast, so this step is necessary with the first part of the water. Once you have moved forward, you only need the second amount of water. Since the measurements are clearly stated in the top and directions for the recipe, we don’t understand why you added more water than it asked for. Best of luck next time.

  3. Great Pizza

    Just found out I need to be FODMAP aware so had a go at this. For a first attempt at cooking the whole thing from scratch
.. Came out quite nicely.
    Realised half way through that I mixed up my teaspoon with tablespoon! Dough was a bit wet but soon fixed that. Loved it.

  4. Question before trying!

    Hi! I just found out that I had IBS and I need to eat low FODMAP foods. Pizza is my favorite so I really want to try this out on weekends I’m just curious, how many slices are safe for IBS since all ingredients are low FODMAP. I’d be using diary free cheese and your sauce as well.

    1. Hi Nikos,
      This recipe is intended for 8 servings, so depending on the size of your slice, you should plan accordingly. We aren’t sure about the ingredients in your ‘dairy-free cheese’ and can’t say if that changes the allocation. Hope that is helpful, and thank you so much for your review!!

  5. Excellent pizza!

    I made this for the first time about three months ago, when my daughter began a fodmap diet. It went so well that I have continued to make it every week since! I found it a touch more difficult at first than a standard pizza dough because it’s a bit more sticky, but now I am used to it and find it pretty straightforward. I think I like this crust as much as a standard crust. Many thanks for a great recipe!

  6. Very Nice Recipie

    My first time making a gluten free crust as I have recently been following a low fodmap diet. I found the dough easy to make but mine turned out a little dry. I just gingerly added tap warm water until I had the desired consistency. I also love that the dough is vegan and I can share it with my co-worker who is gluten and egg intolerant.

    1. Hi Christi,
      Thanks for your feedback and review! We are glad you enjoyed the crust. Perhaps your flour choice resulted in a slightly drier texture, you may wish to add a few drops of additional oil next time to see if that helps. Good luck and stay in touch 🙂

  7. Very crispy and flavorful crust!

    My family and I love to indulge in a scrumptious pizza every Friday and I follow the low fodmap diet. I typically purchase pre-made GF crusts as they are readily available and tasty. However, these are so costly. I ended up using a cup of oat flour (I ran out of my Bob’s Red Mill GF flour), and it turned out so well. Thank you so much for posting and developing these amazing recipes Rachel!

  8. Delicious!!!

    This recipe was excellent! I recently went on a low FODMAP diet to combat my severe acid reflux. So far sticking to this has proven effective and no heart burn or vomiting for 2 weeks!

    I love pizza, if i had to choose what to bring to a deserted island it would be pizza. So thankful for this wonderful recipe! It was very clear and easy to follow and i was surprised it came out top notch (first time using yeast
 ever) i did make my own low FODMAP pizza sauce, but appreciate the recipes you share (especially this crust) as navigating this restrictive diet can be tricky!

  9. I would like to make a big batch of this and freeze some of the dough to use another time. I do this with pizza dough made from wheat flour, is there any reason why I shouldn’t freeze this dough please? I’d assume that I’d then defrost before rolling and baking

    Reply

    1. Hi Eliza,
      Thanks for the question!
      Due to the yeast in the dough, freezing before baking can destroy the yeast and result in a poor dough rise and texture. We haven’t tried this but we suggest doing the first bake for 20-25 minutes to par-bake it, then freeze it at that point. You should be able to bake it with your toppings later, and probably would not need to defrost it in that case (just increase the baking time). Hope that works 🙂

  10. I’m going to try this for my daughter’s school pizza day. Can the dough be frozen?

    Thank you.

    1. Hi Tara,
      We have not frozen the dough but it should work if you want to do so. Let us know how it turns out!

  11. So, putting the raw pizza crust dough on a stone and then spreading it out results in a pizza that cannot be removed from the stone once baked. You definitely need to rethink that part of the directions. I’m going to go try to get my pizza off this thing somehow now

    1. Sorry to hear that Jo. The pizza dough can be sticky, particularly if you used a different flour brand than our recommendation. We will modify the instructions!
