Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Chickpea flour
- 0.75 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Oregano or Italian seasoning (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 as needed Cooking spray or olive oil for greasing
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper and lightly grease it with cooking spray or olive oil to prevent sticking.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder (if using), and oregano or Italian seasoning (if using).
Slowly add water to the dry ingredients while whisking continuously. Whisk until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain. It should have a consistency similar to pancake batter.
Stir in the olive oil to the batter for added flavor and moisture.
Pour the batter onto the prepared parchment paper and spread it into a circular or rectangular shape about 1/4-inch thick using a spatula. Ensure it is evenly distributed for even cooking.
Place the baking sheet or pizza stone in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is firm to the touch and begins to turn golden brown.
Remove the crust from the oven and add your preferred pizza toppings (sauce, cheese, vegetables, etc.) to the crust.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the toppings are heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly, if using.
Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your gluten-free chickpea pizza crust topped with your favorite ingredients!
