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:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- 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.
- While the batter is resting, line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper. Brush the parchment paper lightly with olive oil.
- After the resting time, give the batter a good stir. It should be slightly thicker than traditional pancake batter.
- 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.
- 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.
- Remove the crust from the oven and add your desired pizza toppings. This can include tomato sauce, vegan cheese, sautéed vegetables, herbs, etc.
- 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.
- Once done, carefully remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.
