Rising Populatity of Gluten Free Cooking

By Kenneth Brennan


Does the rise in renown of people eating gluten free foods reflect a celiac disease pandemic or are folk unnecessarily turning to gluten free options, even pizza, as a food craze? Based totally on a recent study from the Mayonnaise Clinic, it may be some both. The study from Mayo suggested that most people with celiac illness won't be aware they have the condition, but many of us eating gluten free diets haven't ever been diagnosed with celiac disease.

Dr. Joseph Murray, a gastroenterologist at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn, and his team examined blood samples taken from Americans 60 years ago and compared them with samples taken from folk today. The doctors were able to define that it wasn't just better diagnosis driving up the numbers. Celiac disease really was rocketing. The analysis from the Mayonnaise Clinic confirmed guesses that roughly 1 p.c of U.S. Adults suffer from the disease today, making it four times more common now than it was in the 1950s.

Scientists suggest that there might be more celiac illness today because folks eat more processed wheat products like pastas and baked products than in years past, and those items use sorts of wheat that have a higher gluten content. Gluten helps dough rise and gives baked products structure and texture.

Now consider pizza.

Recent consumer research exposed that 41% of North Americans now eat pizza at least once a week, up from just 26% a couple of years back.Additionally, American pizza (at least thin-crust) is commonly made with a really high- gluten flour (often 13-14% protein content) of the type also used to make bagels ; this sort of flour allows the dough to be stretched rather thinly without tearing, similar to strudel or phyllo .

It doesn't need to be said that if you're making an attempt to avoid gluten , you could miss the occasional piece of pizza in your diet. Who can resist the cheese, sauce, toppings, and, naturally, crispy crust?While conventional bakers use wheat flour, gluten free pizza dough uses such ingredients as millet flour, sorghum flour, brown rice flour and tapioca starch. That is great in theory, but finding a good gluten free pizza dough that isn't as thin as a piece of paper is still a serious challenge. There is a high degree of unbelief about whether a satisfying gluten-free pizza is even possible to make. After some looking, these are some recipes that will definitely please any person who's searching for a great gluten free pizza crust recipe.

Based on the elevated diagnoses of Celiac disease, and the increase in renown of pizza, the clamor for gluten free pizza is only going to continue. Before long, all pizzerias must offer gluten free options to fulfill their shoppers. The hope is that they'll be half as satisfying as the one in the recipe above because it was succulent!
