Chickpea Pizza Cust
A high-protein chickpea pizza crust made with just 4 ingredients, baked right in a hot cast-iron pan for the perfect crispy bite. This gluten-free pizza crust turns golden and crispy, and it comes together much faster than a traditional yeast-based crust.
Servings: 2 servings
Equipment
- 1 10" cast-iron skillet
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil divided
- 1¼ cups chickpea flour
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning optional
- 1 cup water warm
- pizza toppings of choice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 10” cast iron pan into the oven to preheat as well.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, salt, and Italian seasoning.
- Slowly whisk in 1 cup of warm water until fully combined. Set aside to thicken slightly.
- Brush 1 tbsp of the olive oil over the bottom and sides of the hot, preheated cast-iron pan.
- Whisk the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil into the crust batter.
- Pour the batter into the pan. Spread into an even layer with a spatula.
- Bake for 15-17 minutes, until the edges are golden brown.
- Top with pizza toppings and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
Notes
- If you don't have a cast-iron skillet: Use an oven safe stainless steal pan or rimmed baking sheet. I suggest lining the hot pan with parchment paper and olive oil for easy removal.
