Chickpea Flour Glutenfree Pizza

I am in love with chickpea flour (otherwise known as besan or gram flour) and having made omelette with it, decided to make a gluten free pizza.

175 g chickpea flour
2-3 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper
Toppings of choice
Tomato sauce (I use homemade)

Serves 2

Heat the oven to 200°.   Sieve the chickpea flour into a bowl with salt and pepper and 1 tbsp oil.

Add enough water so when whisked, it has the consistency of a smooth custard.

Grease two pizza pans with oil, divide the batter between the pizza pans and swirl the batter to coat the bottom of the pan evenly.

Bake in the oven for about 10 mins until the batter is firm to the touch, then remove from the oven.

Divide the tomato sauce between the two pizza pans, brush evenly all over the base and add your favourite toppings, I used fried fennel and onion, artichokes, capers and tomato.

Drizzle the remaining oil over the top, then cook for approx 10 mins, until the toppings are piping hot and the base is thoroughly cooked and golden brown.   I served mine with a beetroot, tomato and toasted walnut salad.
