Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 teaspoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
1/2 small onion, chopped
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 8-ounce can tomato sauce or 8 ounces crushed tomatoes
2/3 cup chickpea flour
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon olive oil
1 cup grated provolone cheese
3 ounces chicken sausage (about 1 link), cut into 1/4-inch slices

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • For the tomato sauce: In a large pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, carrots and onion and saute until the vegetables are soft, approximately 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the tomato sauce and bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer on low heat until thick, about 20 minutes.
  • For the crust: Meanwhile, in a bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, garlic powder, salt and 2/3 cup water. In a 7 1/2-inch round nonstick pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat and pour the "dough" into the pan (about 1/8 inch thick). Cook the "dough" until the edges start to brown, approximately 3 minutes. Flip the crust over like a pancake and cook on the other side for another 3 minutes. Transfer the crust to a baking sheet.
  • To finish the tomato sauce, put the sauce into a food processor and process until smooth.
  • For the pizza topping: Brush the olive oil over the chickpea crust. Spread a thin layer of the tomato sauce over the crust, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Sprinkle on the grated provolone, covering the tomato sauce. Place the chicken sausage slices on top.
  • Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbling, 10 to 15 minutes.

Overall, this is a good recipe. It's easy to make and the pizza is delicious. However, I would make a few changes next time, such as adding more moisture to the dough and using more flavorful toppings.

The pizza was a bit bland. I would recommend using more flavorful toppings.

The chickpea crust is a bit too dry for my taste. I would recommend adding more moisture to the dough.

I was skeptical about the chickpea crust, but I was pleasantly surprised. It's a great alternative to traditional pizza crust, and it's packed with protein. I'll definitely be making this again.
