INGREDIENTS
FOR THE BASE
1 cup chickpea flour
1 cup water
1 tbsp olive oil or grape seed oil
FOR THE PESTO
(per pizza)
2-3 cloves of garlic
~1 tbsp olive oil
~1 tbsp hemp seeds
TOPPINGS
1/2 cup steamed or lightly fried broccoli
Pesto (see recipe below)
1/2 cup slice red peppers (can be lightly glazed for few seconds in oil)
1/2 cup slice onions (can be lightly glazed for few seconds in oil)
Handful of arugula
Few olives to taste
Optional: pieces of chicken or fish
PROCESS
PESTO:
Blend all ingredients together in a blender until paste-like consistency.
Add drops of water to help soften the mixture a bit. Make sure it is not runny
PIZZA
In a medium bowl, whisk chickpea flour, water, olive oil and set aside. Leave to stand for 30 minutes.
Add half the quantity of the homemade pesto.
Brush a 10" iron cast skillet with a little olive oil and bring to a medium heat. Once hot, pour all of the batter on top and spread it out evenly. Cook for about 5 minutes until it looks cooked on top, golden at the bottom, and you can easily flip it over. Flip over and cook until golden and slightly browned on both sides.
Spread pesto on the top side of the pizza base.
Add the sliced red peppers, arugula leaves, olives, and other ingredients you’d like as toppings.
