Diners should be able to go to a restaurant and choose dishes that are suitable for any food intolerances, health conditions, or dietary preferences. Many people are now on gluten-free diets, and many pizza restaurants now offer gluten-free options. If you haven’t tried gluten-free pizza, here’s what you should know about this delicious food.

What Is Gluten?

Gluten is the collective name for proteins found in grains such as wheat, barley, and rye. It doesn’t add any special flavor to food, but it has certain qualities that can be useful in cooking. For example, it holds food together, and it makes dough rise and become more elastic.

People with celiac disease, an autoimmune condition affecting the digestive system, need to avoid gluten. The condition is caused by the immune system’s reaction to gluten.

How Is Gluten-Free Pizza Made?

In pizza, gluten is usually contained in the dough. Gluten-free pizza is made with dough that has different ingredients. There are plenty of other foods that can be used to make flour, such as almonds, potatoes, rice, or corn. The flour can then be used to make pizza dough.

Why Should You Eat it a Pizza Restaurant? 

Pizza chefs know how to use these ingredients in a way that makes the pizza base and crust just as satisfying as any other method of preparation. They can craft the dough to make it behave like traditional recipes, such as by adding more moisture. 

They also know how to combine the many other textures and flavors that go into creating a delicious pizza. That means anyone who doesn’t eat gluten can still enjoy the special atmosphere of a restaurant without trying tricky gluten-free pizza recipes at home.
