Is Jet’s Pizza Gluten Free Pizza Celiac Safe?

The inspiration for this recipe started during the beginning of the pandemic. My husband received a gift card to Jet’s Pizza. While they may offer a “gluten free” crust, they clearly state they don’t recommend them for those with Celiac Disease. This also goes for Domino’s, Hungry Howie’s, and Papa Johns.

Gluten Free Pizza Crust for One

I searched online for a “gluten free pizza crust for one.” I found nothing. What I did find was Zona Cooks’ Easy No Yeast Pizza Dough Recipe for One. The only non-gluten free ingredient in her recipe was the flour. I subbed out all purpose wheat flour for a gluten free flour blend. It turned out good, and I was determined to tweak it a bit further. And now I share it with you!

Yeast-Free Biscuit Style Dough

Her original recipe calls for oil. Because this dough is similar to biscuit dough, I felt cutting cold fat into the flour would create a bit more lift as it baked. Also, she called for milk in her recipe. When I first created this, I used 2 tbsp of cream, and 2 tbsp of milk. Why? Because biscuit recipes call for cream. You can use all milk, if you prefer. I also bumped up the baking powder.

Breakfast Pizza with Eggs and Bacon

When most think of pizza for breakfast, they’re thinking of cold leftovers from last night’s pizza party. Maybe from one of these pizzerias I mention in my previous Gluten Free Pizza pizza post.

However, when I think about pizza for breakfast, I’m imaging scrambled eggs, bacon and cheese. And no tomato sauce. Gimme a creamy and herby ranch dressing. Since pork makes my husband ill, we use chicken or turkey bacon in our house. If you’re following a vegetarian diet, you could use this 4 Ingredient Coconut Bacon from The Bojon Gourmet.  Or, this Tofu Bacon from Vegetarian Mamma.

Gluten Free Chicken BBQ Pizza using Stubb’s

Many time people ask me for my “favorite” brand in a certain type of food. While I reply honestly, I also remind people that we all have different taste and texture preferences. What I like, you may not like. However, when it comes to barbecue sauce, my favorite has always been Stubb’s. All of their products undergo third party gluten free certification through GFCO.

While they have several gluten free barbecue sauces, their Smokey Mesquite variety is my current favorite flavor. It combines the perfect blend of bite and sweet. While preparing this Gluten Free Barbecue Chicken Pizza, I mixed some of the cooked chicken with the sauce, to keep it moist. I also used some as the sauce base, to give the perfect amount of moisture.

Can You Prepare this Dough Dairy Free? Egg Free?

As written, this gluten free pizza crust for one uses no eggs. Zona Cooks’ original recipe uses oil instead of butter. Therefore, you could simply use oil. I prepared this crust once with full fat coconut milk, and it worked fine. In fact, I prepared all of these pizzas using canned Coconut Cream. Why? Because I never remember to have fresh cream on hand.

What Gluten Free Flour Blend Do You Use?

I created the pizza in these posts with Cup 4 Cup Multipurpose Gluten Free Flour. It does contain milk powder. If you want to make these dairy free, I recommend using King Arthur Flour Measure for Measure. I actually first created this dough using King Arthur Flour, but subbing part of the flour with corn starch, and it worked perfectly. I share my measurements in the recipe card.

Gluten Free Strawberry Shortcake Pizza

As I previously mentioned, this gluten free pizza crust is basically a large, flat gluten free biscuit. Being that it’s summer time, my mind immediately went to strawberry shortcake. Could one create a pizza version? The blog Thursday Night Pizza shares a Strawberry Shortcake Pizza, but with the cream on the top. However, I wanted sauce on the bottom.

I gleamed some further inspiration from Eat At Our Table’s Gluten Free Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries. I figured that a variation of her cheesecake filling would work great as a sauce base. Therefore, I combined sliced strawberries with sugar, which draws some of the juices out. (This is called “maceration.”) I then topped the crust with my sweet cream sauce, and the sliced & drained strawberries. My husband agreed that this is one amazing dessert!

Small Batch Gluten Free Desserts

My household includes only 2 people. Well, three if you include the dog, who’s always up for a snack. Therefore, I like to find and cook  “small batch” recipes, serving 4 or less. My Small Batch Vanilla Cupcakes or Single Serve Gluten Free Cheesecake, easily fit the bill. My Basic Gluten Free Donut Recipe makes only 6 donuts, and my Small Batch Pumpkin Roll serves 6 as well.

Looking for other small batch inspiration? I love the Gluten Free Recipes on Dessert for Two’s website. Don’t want to heat up the oven, and the house? These Gluten Free Microwave Desserts from Gluten Free Palate will fulfill your sweet tooth. Looking for something savory? This Quick and Easy Broiled Steak with Mustard Sauce from Baking Mischief is naturally gluten free!

Gluten Free Pizza Crust For One (Yeast Free)

Ingredients

For The Crust

• 2/3 c 93 g of Cup 4 Cup flour
• OR 1/2 c (60g King Arthur Flour Measure for Measure + 1 tbsp corn starch)
• 3/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp sugar 1 tbsp for dessert crust
• 2 tbsp butter
• 2 tbsp milk
• 2 tbsp cream

Toppings for the Breakfast Pizza

• 3 tbsp ranch
• 1/4 of one red onion sauteed in 1/2 tsp butter or oil
• 3 strips bacon cooked and chopped
• 2 eggs scrambled
• 1/4 c shredded cheddar
• very thinly sliced spinach for garnish

Toppings for the BBQ Chicken Pizza

• 1/2 c. fully cooked chopped chicken
• 3 tbsp bbq sauce + 3 tbsp mixed with cooked chicken
• 1/4 red onion sliced, sautéed in 1/2 tp butter or oil
• 1/2 c. mozzarella cheese
• very thinly sliced spinach for garnish

Toppings for the Strawberry Shortcake Pizza

• 2 cups strawberries sliced + 2 tbsp sugar
• 3-4 tbsp cream
• 2 oz softened cream cheese
• 3-4 tbsp powdered sugar
• 1/2 tsp vanilla

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. 
• For the crust, combine all dry ingredients in the bowl of a food processor. Add butter and pulse until butter is cut in. Don’t own a food processor? Use a grater, and grate in two tablespoons of butter. Then mix.
• Dump into a bowl and stir in milk and cream. (If you don’t have cream, you can use all milk. Preferably full fat. I’ve used full fat coconut milk and it’s turned out well.) 
• Place bowl in fridge for approx 10 minutes while you prepare other pizza ingredients. When  ready to prepare pizza, place on a parchment lined cookie sheet, sprinkle with a bit of flour, and roll out to approximately 6-8 inches. 
• Par bake in a preheated 425 degree oven for 8 minutes, if planning to make a savory pizza. 
• (If planning to make the strawberry shortcake pizza, bake completely for 12-14 minutes until golden brown.) 
• If baking a savory pizza, remove parbaked pizza crust, top with sauce and toppings, and place back in oven to bake for another 8 minutes. 
• For the strawberry shortcake pizza, combine sliced strawberries and white sugar in a bowl to macerate for at least 20 minutes. I prepared mine and allowed it to rest overnight in a glass bowl, covered with saran wrap. Prior to preparing the pizza, I placed them in a strainer, to remove the excess juice. 
• To prepare the cream sauce, mix together cream and softened cream cheese in a small bowl and whip using a hand mixer. Add powdered sugar a tbsp at a time until it reaches desired thickness and sweetness. Add vanilla. 
• Spread sweetened cream sauce over baked biscuit pizza crust, and carefully arrange sweetened and drained strawberry slices. This dessert pizza is best served chilled.

The OG Recipe is From Dessert for Two

I wish I could take total credit for this amazing gluten free cinnamon rolls for two recipe. The brilliance of this recipe solely lies with Christina Lane of Dessert For Two. She graciously is allowing me to repost her original Small Batch Cinnamon Rolls here, only in a gluten-free version.

What Gluten Free Flour Do You Use For This Recipe?

To be honest, modifying her recipe to make these Gluten Free Cinnamon Rolls for Two is ridiculously easy. All I did was simply swap the flour for Cup 4 Cup flour. That’s it. I’ve found that Cup 4 Cup Multipurpose Flour truly transforms any “regular” recipe into gluten free perfection.

Can I Use a Different Gluten Free Flour for This Recipe?

I attempted to make these Gluten Free Cinnamon Rolls for Two with Bob’s Red Mill and with King Arthur Measure for Measure. I DO NOT RECOMMEND USING THEM. When I used those flours, it resulted in a drier and more crumbly cinnamon roll. Edible, but not enjoyable.

Just Like Grandma Used to Make

I remember the first time I made these Gluten Free Cinnamon Rolls for Two. I followed Christina’s original recipe, and baked them in muffin tins, creating four cinnamon rolls. When my husband returned home and tried one, he almost cried.

He said they reminded him of the cinnamon rolls his (now departed) grandmother used to make when he was a child. Christina’s recipe helped him relive his childhood memories, and it was priceless. That Christmas, I made them as gifts for every household in our family, and everyone raved about how delicious they were.

Why YOU will love these Gluten Free Cinnamon Rolls for Two

• NO yeast. So that means no rise time, which means the faster you can eat them!
• NO egg. Missing baked goods due to an egg allergy? This solves ALL that.
• NO need to share. Seriously, this recipe makes two (or four), so you don’t have extras laying around the house, and you don’t have to share. I mean, you can, but no shame in keeping these bad boys all to yourself.

While these gluten free cinnamon rolls for two taste great any day, I find myself making them when I have milk that’s about to go bad. I hate to pitch out any food, and am always looking for ways to use up leftovers and “scraps” of things.

Can I Make These Cinnamon Rolls Without Dairy?

I have never attempted to make a dairy free version of these Gluten Free Cinnamon Rolls for Two. Previously, Cup 4 Cup Multipurpose Gluten Free Flour contained dairy. They have since removed the milk powder. Because of this, I increased the amount of melted butter in the dough.

If you are looking for a gluten free and dairy free cinnamon roll recipe, you can try this Gluten Free Vegan Cinnamon Roll recipe from The Loopy Whisk. (Please note that she does not use flour blends, but instead individual flours.)

Minimalist Baker also offers a gluten free & vegan cinnamon roll recipe on her website. She uses almond flour AND a gluten free flour blend in her recipe.

Gluten Free Cinnamon Rolls for Two – Yeast and Egg Free

Ingredients

For the Dough:

• 5 tbsp milk
• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
• 3/4 c. "Cup4Cup" brand Multipurpose Gluten Free Flour Blend
• 1 tbsp granulated sugar
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 3 tbsp melted butter

For the filling:

• 2 tbsp melted butter
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tbsp granulated sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon

For the cream cheese frosting

• 2 ounces cream cheese softened
• 1/4 c powdered sugar
• splash of milk

Instructions

• Combine milk and apple cider vinegar in a small dish and set aside for at least 5 minutes. 
• Preheat oven to 375. Gently grease a small loaf pan, or four muffin tin wells. 
• In a small bowl, combine flour, 1 tbsp sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. 
• After milk has soured with vinegar, add to it 3 tbsp of melted butter. Then incorporate all wet ingredients into dry until you have a soft ball of dough. 
• Lightly flour a work surface with additional flour. I tend to use my Silpat as a small pastry mat. From there, place your ball of dough and roll into a 6" rectangle. Pour the 2 tbsp melted butter on top of the rolled dough. 
• In a small dish, combine 1 tbsp granulated sugar, the 2 tbsp brown sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon. Sprinkle that mixture over the dough and press it into the butter. 
• Roll the cinnamon roll dough from the long side, and press the seam to seal. 
• Cut the dough into 4 equal sections. I recommend using floss for this, as it won't smoosh your dough like a knife will
• Place into a 5" baking dish, or into 4 muffin tins.
• Bake for 15 -18 minutes.
• While the rolls are baking, soften the cream cheese and mix with the powdered sugar and a splash of milk. Spread over cinnamon rolls when they come out of the oven, and serve warm. (Or just use vanilla frosting from a can. I often do that.)

There is nothing more satisfying than a soft cinnamon roll, fresh out of the oven, topped with frosting. My high school cafeteria served them for lunch. I purchased them probably more often than I should. I don’t even want to know the number of calories in those things. Now that eat gluten-free for my Celiac Disease, those days are over. Now, I make Chebe cinnamon rolls from the comfort of my own kitchen. I LOVE that they’re yeast-free, because I never have luck with yeasted dough. They’re also grain-free for those following AIP or the paleo diet.

The directions on the back of the Chebe cinnamon rolls package are easy to follow. I add an extra tablespoon of butter to my dough, and two more tablespoons of milk. I do this to make the dough softer, and I refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes to help it absorb the additional moisture. You will need to use extra rice flour when rolling the dough for these Chebe cinnamon rolls. (If you’re grain-free, you will need to find a different dough with which to dust your surface.) After you roll out the dough, you brush it with melted butter, and then top with a cinnamon and brown sugar mixture.

It is suggested to roll the dough for these Chebe cinnamon rolls into a 12 x 18 rectangle. This is so you can have eighteen equal portions. However, I’m a rule breaker and cut mine into 9 equal portions. I then placed them into the blue silicone liners I received in my American Gluten Free box and smushed them down a bit to widen the dough balls. Sometimes Chebe products can dry out, so I baked my cinnamon rolls at 350 degrees instead of the 375. (I’d also suggest dabbing them with a dab of butter prior to baking, to help retain moisture.) I also baked them for 18 minutes.

Aren’t these Chebe cinnamon rolls just GORGEOUS? Of course, I added frosting. One simply cannot eat cinnamon rolls without frosting! One of the things I love about working with Chebe products is that they are so easy to make! Like their pizza dough. Did you know you can cook it on the grill? Or that you can use their all-purpose mix to make pie? And their foccacia? Don’t get me started! SO GOOD! All of their mixes come together in a snap using just eggs, oil and water. Doesn’t get much better than that!

So, the next time you have a hankering for a sweet breakfast treat, you can make these simply delicious Chebe Cinnamon Rolls!
