Yes, I do love pizza, but anything to do with dough or, in fact, baking in general - lets just say I'm terrible! Do you have any suggestions?
knowledge: Dough is typically made by mixing flour with a small amount of water and/or other liquid, and sometimes includes yeast or other leavening agents as well as other ingredients such as various fats or flavorings.
response: Well, I know you can make dough with flour, water, and yeast. You can also add other things for flavor.

Yeah, but all that kneading! I'll stick to shop-bought bases and pastas. I find the dried pasta made in Italy are the best, unsurprisingly.
knowledge: As an alternative for those wanting a different taste, or who need to avoid products containing gluten, some pastas can be made using rice flour in place of wheat.
response: That's interesting! I know you can make pasta with rice flour if you have a gluten allergy. Have you ever tried that?

I used to eat a gluten free diet and found that the only pasta which worked was made with quinoa. Now I stick to the Italian pastas I don't worry about it.
knowledge: A gluten-free diet (GFD) is a diet that strictly excludes gluten, a mixture of proteins found in wheat and related grains, including barley, rye, oat, and all their species and hybrids (such as spelt, kamut, and triticale).
response: Cool, a gluten free diet is really restrictive though, you can't eat a lot of grains, yeah?

It can be very restrictive when you're eating out - its amazing where you can find flour! I find I'm ok now so long as I eat things containing organic wheat. There are quite a lot of grains which are ok, but some like wheat are nonos.
knowledge: People who have gluten intolerance (including celiac disease and dermatitis herpetiformis sufferers) have a reaction to certain proteins in the grains commonly used to make beer, barley and wheat.
response: I see. That would make beer a nono, as it's also made with barley or wheat.
