For the first few weeks without gluten I was fine, almost. Once I tried all the "Gluten Free" treats at Whole Foods Market, I realized the sugar content was going to kill me. The second thing I realized? That "Gluten Free" did not mean "calorie free". The gluten free foods were higher in calories and did not contain the fiber to make them as filling as regular flour foods. I needed to find a way to make everyday food work for me.
I really enjoy pizza and was looking for a way to make one I could eat. I tried a few frozen varieties and was convinced it was hopeless. Then I found Gluten Free Bisquick. I was skeptical after many disappointments, but decided to try it. I followed the recipe on the box and it made a decent crust. The only drawback was the overwhelming flavor of egg in it. The second time I made it I used "Ener-g Egg Replacer" instead of eggs and doubled the Italian Seasoning. Voila! It was a great, tasty crust that works with every topping I have tried. I make mine thin on a 9x13 rimmed baking sheet.
Since the pizza was great, I decided to try the waffle recipe. I was not disappointed. My family couldn't tell the difference. (shhh!)
Check out Bisquick's website.
There are many recipes and FAQ's for the product.
Note: My Whole Foods Market does not carry this, but my regular supermarket does in the baking section.
