Over the last few years I’ve discovered- much to my dismay- the effects gluten was having on my gut and general health. Not to mention anything that was not home made always seemed to have gluten hidden in it! So I did some research and found some incredible gluten-free flour that’s made in Italy by Antimo Caputo called “Fioreglut”. It’s incredibly fine just like normal flour so is perfect for baking. I highly recommend using this or something comparable. You certainly can use any other gluten-free alternative flours such as Almond Flour, Coconut Flour, or Cassava Flour. Jus know that the consistency may change and end up denser than you’d expect.

I created my version of this crust from a recipe I found here . That recipe used almond flour cut with coconut flour. While I do like these flour alternatives, the flour I used instead really is flour that has had the gluten removed from it. While I cannot speak to the effects of this for people who suffer from Celiac disease or other auto immune diagnoses, for my general gluten intolerance I do not experience the same GI upset as I do with gluten.
