This chickpea pizza base is by far my favourite alternative to gluten packed pizza bases. I could have named this hummus pizza base as this recipe has stemmed from my favourite hummus recipe. And it’s as easy to make as hummus, especially in the thermomix!
Packed with flavour
What I love about this recipe is you can add any dried spices to make it your own. I love adding Indian spices such as coriander, cumin and turmeric. Then you can add delicious toppings such as spicy roasted cauliflower. Or if you want to enjoy a pizza topped with roasted vegetables and feta then add your favourite Mediterranean spices. Just top with your favourite pizza toppings and you’re good to go!
This pizza base is unlike other bases as you cook it before you add the extras. It is grilled to make it crispy but you need to keep an eye on it and check it regularly. It tastes so good you’ll be trying to taste it before you start to put on the toppings! I cook it in a skillet pan and then cook it like that in the oven once the toppings are complete, but you can transfer it to a baking tray or pizza stone.
Once you make this you will be wondering why it’s been missing from your pizza collection. Finally you can enjoy pizza night without the guilt! If you like this then try my recipe for Rosemary Garlic Focaccia Bread, you will love it!
