Chickpea Flour Pizza Crust

Ingredients:

• 1 cup chickpea flour
• 1 cup water
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for flavor)
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (optional, for flavor)
• Toppings of your choice (tomato sauce, vegan cheese, vegetables, etc.)Instructions:
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the chickpea flour, water, olive oil, salt, garlic powder, and dried oregano (if using). Whisk until you have a smooth batter. Let the batter sit for about 15-20 minutes to allow the chickpea flour to hydrate.
  3. While the batter is resting, line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper. Brush the parchment paper lightly with olive oil.
  4. After the resting time, give the batter a good stir. It should be slightly thicker than traditional pancake batter.
  5. Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet or pizza pan. Use a spatula to spread it out into a thin, even layer, shaping it into a round pizza crust.
  6. Place the crust in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the crust is set.
  7. Remove the crust from the oven and add your desired pizza toppings. This can include tomato sauce, vegan cheese, sautéed vegetables, herbs, etc.
  8. Place the topped pizza back in the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the toppings are heated through and the cheese (if using) is melted and bubbly.
  9. Once done, carefully remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.
