Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Chickpea flour
- 150 grams Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 200 grams Tomato sauce
- 125 grams Fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
- 30 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
- 15 grams Fresh basil leaves
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F).
In a large mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, Greek yogurt, baking powder, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead lightly for about 2 to 3 minutes until smooth.
Roll the dough out into a circle approximately 25 cm (10 inches) in diameter and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush the rolled-out dough with olive oil to prevent sogginess.
Spread tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small edge for the crust.
Place slices of mozzarella cheese evenly across the top of the tomato sauce.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
Remove from oven, let cool for a couple of minutes, and garnish with fresh basil leaves and ground black pepper.
Slice and serve the high protein pizza while hot.
