Chickpea Pan Pizza Crust

Why this works

Chickpea flour hydrates into a batter that sets in a hot pan. Resting the batter removes raw flour harshness, and the pan gives you the crisp edges that make the whole thing worth doing.

Ingredients

• 120g chickpea flour
• 180g water
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Black pepper
• Optional: rosemary
• Optional: garlic powder

Method

1. Whisk chickpea flour, water, salt and olive oil.
2. Rest the batter for 30 minutes.
3. Heat an oven-safe pan with a little oil.
4. Pour in the batter and cook for 2–3 minutes.
5. Transfer to a 230°C oven and bake until set.
6. Add toppings and bake again until crisp at the edges.
