Chickpea flour

The humble chickpea has long been labeled as the foundation of hummus, but it has much more to offer. Both the mashed legume and the flour made from dried chickpeas can be used to make a gluten-free pizza crust. The latter has a long history of being used to make flatbread in coastal regions of Europe.

Socca pizza is a simple recipe that only requires chickpea flour, olive oil, water, and seasonings. To make a smooth batter, whisk everything together and set it aside to thicken. It's then just a matter of broiling or cooking it in a flat pan. Bake if desired, or keep the top light and fresh with salad-like garnishes and let the nuttiness of the flour shine through. Buy a bag of chickpea flour and whip this up in no time, or use Banza's premade crusts. Chickpeas, tapioca, cocoa butter, olive oil, and seasonings are used by the company, making it a great gluten and dairy-free option to pick up on your next shopping trip.
