Enjoy a tasty, gluten-free pizza with a crust made of crispy chickpea flour. This recipe is great for people who have to follow a certain diet or who just want to try something new and tasty with pizza.

Ingredients: 1 cup chickpea flour. 1/2 cup water. 2 tbsp olive oil. 1/2 tsp salt. 1/2 tsp garlic powder. 1/2 tsp dried oregano. 1/2 cup tomato sauce. 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese or dairy-free alternative. Your favorite pizza toppings e.g., pepperoni, mushrooms, bell peppers.

Instructions: Start by heating the oven up to 450F 232C. Mix the chickpea flour, water, salt, garlic powder, and dried oregano in a bowl with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Mix the batter until it's smooth. Put the last tablespoon of olive oil into a 12-inch skillet or pizza pan that can go in the oven and spread it out evenly to cover the bottom. The chickpea flour batter should be poured into the pan or skillet and spread out to make a thin crust. Before you put the pan or skillet in the oven, heat it up. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the crust is firm and the edges are golden brown. Take the crust out of the oven and let it cool down a bit. Don't cover the whole crust with tomato sauce; leave a little space around the edges. On top of the sauce, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese or a dairy-free cheese of your choice. On top of the cheese, put your favorite pizza toppings. It should be baked for another 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the toppings are done the way you like them. Take it out of the oven, cut it up, and serve it hot. Cheers to your gluten-free pizza made with chickpea flour!
