Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Chickpea flour
- 0.75 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 cup Tomato sauce
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Toppings of choice (e.g., sliced vegetables, pepperoni, fresh basil)
- 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together chickpea flour, water, olive oil, salt, garlic powder, and dried oregano until you have a smooth, lump-free batter. Let the batter sit for 5-10 minutes to rest.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and place a cast-iron skillet or pizza stone inside to heat for 5 minutes.
Carefully remove the skillet or stone from the oven and spray it lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
Pour the chickpea batter onto the hot skillet or stone, spreading it out evenly to form a thin crust with the back of a spoon.
Place the skillet or stone back in the oven and bake the crust for 10 minutes, or until it begins to set and develop light golden edges.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread an even layer of tomato sauce over the surface.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce, then add your favorite toppings.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let the pizza cool for 2-3 minutes. Slice into portions and serve immediately.
