Ingredients

1 cup chickpea flour

Salt

1 cup water

1/4 cup olive oil, divided

1 large tomato or 2 small, diced

1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions

Freshly ground pepper

1/2 cup freshly grated Soymage Parmesan cheese

Directions

Heat the broiler.

Sift the chickpea flour with 1/2 teaspoon of salt into a bowl. Slowly add the water, whisking constantly to form a paste. Beat with a wire whisk until smooth. Let the batter stand, covered, at room temperature for 30 minutes.

In a 10-inch nonstick, ovenproof skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium-high heat. Stir the batter and pour 1/2 the batter into the skillet, tipping and swirling it to evenly coat the pan. Cook over medium-high heat until the bottom is golden and crisp and the top is almost set, 2 to 3 minutes.

Burst any large air bubbles with the tip of a knife.

Sprinkle 1/2 of the tomato and green onions along with pepper to taste on top.

Place the pan under the broiler and cook until golden and crisp, about 2 to 3 minutes. Slide the pizza onto a work surface. Sprinkle with salt to taste and half the Soymage Parmesan cheese. Cut the pizza into wedges and serve hot.

Repeat with the remaining batter.

Made it for the first time this morning. It came out great and was gone in a flash! Excellent brunch for Playoff Sunday.

This sounds really interesting and good. The chickpea flour is new to me and I'd love to learn more about it. I love baking artisan breads (and breads in general) - and I make my own pizza crusts...so it intrigues me. Thanks for the recipe - I'll be trying this out.

I like your basil-infused olive oil and garlic adds. Nice variation. Thanks again...Vickie

I am impressed. I think the use of chickpea flour is a definite plus and I really like the fact that there is no yeast. High 5 to you Otterpond for posting this recipe.

Otterpond, I have made this several times and still continue to love it! I have made some variations to the recipe, which I will post in the "I made it " group. The pizza rocks and makes the perfect mid-week meal when paired with a salad!

I altered the original recipe by spreading basil infused olive oil with 1 crushed garlic clove on the pancaked before putting the toppings on.
