Chickpea flour crust pizza

Unfortunately, it’s not just the crust that can cause complications. It can also be what’s used as a base and the combination of toppings. You can’t always ensure your order won’t be cross-contaminated with allergens. And when you go through all the obstacles of customising your pizza, you can’t guarantee it’s going to be exactly right on pick-up.

Instead, I’ve had to look into homemade alternatives like a sweet potato crust pizza (you can find the recipe to this in my earlier Instagram posts) and now, this new chickpea flour crust.

You can find the recipe for the chickpea flour crust below. Having issues with the acidity of tomatoes and in general, nightshade vegetables, I’ve also incorporated a beetroot marinara as the base. The beetroot marinara recipe can be found in here. If you’re unable to pre-make your marinara, a pesto base or hummus base would be perfect on this crust.

I’ve topped the pizza with arugula, mushrooms, olives and spring onions but you could throw anything on top!

This chickpea crust requires only 8 ingredients, takes as little as 30 minutes to make and what I love about this recipe, is that it’s completely customisable and free of allergens. It’s also budget friendly – a lot cheaper than picking one up from the store.
