Description
A delicious gluten-free pizza made with chickpea flour for a crispy crust.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup chickpea flour
- 1 cup room temperature water
- 3 tbsps olive oil
- to taste salt and pepper
- 1 cup tomato sauce (or pizza sauce)
- 4 oz fresh mozzarella cheese (or shredded mozzarella cheese)
- 2 tbsps torn basil – optional for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F and place a cast iron pan in the oven for 10 minutes while it preheats. This is one of the secrets to the super crispy crust.
- While the pan is heating up, add the chickpea flour to a medium-size mixing bowl with a sprinkle of salt and pepper and whisk. Continue whisking the flour while you slowly pour in 1 cup of warm water. Let the batter sit on the counter for a few minutes to thicken up a bit.
- Once the pan is ready, brush it with 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil. Enough to coat the bottom of the pan. Be careful, the pan gets very hot! Add the other 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the chickpea flour and whisk lightly.
- Pour the chickpea batter evenly into the cast iron pan. Listen to the sizzle. Place the pan back into the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges start to get nice and golden brown and crispy.
- After 15 minutes remove the pan from the oven, and top the crust with the tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese. Place it back into the oven to bake for 10-12 more minutes, until it is nice and golden brown, and the cheese is nice and melted.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Carefully lift it from the pan and transfer it onto a cutting board. Slice and serve. Top with the fresh watercress, sliced red onion, or just some fresh torn basil and ENJOY!!
