Instructions
- Roast the chickpea flour in a large skillet over medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes. Stir once every minute for the first 2 minutes. Then every 20 seconds. Cool and transfer to a bowl. Roasted flour gives a better flavor profile. You can skip the roasting and use the chickpea flour as is in the batter..
- Add the rest of the dry ingredients to the chickpea flour bowl and whisk well.
- Add lemon juice to 3/4 cup water and add to the bowl. Add oil and mix or whisk until there are no lumps.
- Add 1 to 2 tbsps more water and mix in to make a thick batter. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F / 200ºc.
- If the batter is too thick/stiff, add 1 to 2 tsp more water and mix in. Drop the thick batter on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spray water on the batter. Use a large spoon or spatula to spread it into a circle. Spray water on the batter to avoid sticking to the spatula while spreading.
- Bake the crust for 12 minutes. Remove from oven and top with sauce, veggies, and cheese of choice.
- Bake again for 12 to 14 minutes. Broil for a minute to a crisp or melt the cheese if needed.
- Cool for 2 minutes before slicing.
Notes
If using besan (gram flour), you will need less water to make a thick batter. chickpea flour will hold the thickness better than besan. Besan will make a thinner crust.
