Chickpea Pizza Crust Recipe (Gluten Free Chickpea Flour Pizza)

Chickpea Flour Pizza Crust Tips

I have two main tips to get a grain-free chickpea crust that is sufficiently firm on the bottom without sogginess. Ready?

First, heat the crust in a cast iron skillet on the stovetop for 3-5 minutes BEFORE popping it in the oven to broil. This is the key to make a crust that holds up to pizza toppings. The downside of this method is that the thick batter may form large bubbles on the stovetop. Just pat the bubbles down with the back of a spoon before adding your tomato sauce.

Second tip: don’t get overly generous with your toppings that add a lot of moisture. I found ½ cup of tomato sauce was too much. One-third cup looks like it will be too little when you spread it on, but it will be perfect.
