Vegan Oil-Free Chickpea Pizza Crust [GF]
This healthy soft and fluffy vegan oil-free chickpea pizza crust is gluten-free, made with chickpea and almond flour and ready in less than 20 minutes!
Ingredients
- 1 cup chickpea flour
- 1/2 cup blanched almond flour
- 1/4 tsp pink Himalayan salt plus an extra couple pinches, or to taste
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/3 cup + 3 tbsp warm water
Instructions
- First, preheat your oven to 415 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, add chickpea flour, blanched almond flour, pink Himalayan salt, garlic powder, Italian seasoning and baking powder. Whisk together, trying to remove clumps, if any.
- Next, add in the warm water and mix with a small spatula (don't whisk it, it's too thick to whisk). Mix well. It should resemble a very thick pancake batter. At this point- add more seasonings if desired! Use my measurements as a starting point and add to taste.
- Use the spatula to transfer the dough from the bowl to the lined baking sheet. Then, with wet hands (because it will be sticky), spread the dough in a circle that's about 1/4 an inch thick.
- Bake for about 9-10 minutes, remove from the oven, add your pizza toppings and bake for another 4-5 minutes. Remove from the oven and eat immediately. Just be careful to avoid over baking as it tends to dry out if over-baked! Don't wait for the edges to turn golden, they won't!
- Use a large spatula to carefully separate and lift the pizza crust off the baking sheet (it will stick just a tiny bit). The pizza tends to be a little fragile so be extra careful when handling! Enjoy!
