Summer Pizza with Heirloom Tomatoes

Recipe: (Makes 4 Personal Sized Pizza) Print it Here

Crust:

1 Cup Chickpea Flour
¾ Cup Light Buckwheat Flour
¼ Cup Potato Starch
1 tsp. Sea Salt
1 tsp. Baking Powder
½ tsp. Baking Soda
1 ¼ Cups Water
3 Tbsp. Olive Oil
2 tsp. Apple Cider Vinegar
Pinch Black Pepper
Pinch Dried Oregano 

Toppings:

Passata or Tomato Sauce of Your Choosing
A Bunch Asparagus, Chopped
A Bunch Broccolini, Chopped
2 Large Heirloom tomatoes, or 4 small ones, Sliced
Fresh herbs such as Rosemary

Vegan Pesto

Olives, goat feta, or any other desired toppings.

Procedure:

  1. Begin by heating the oven to 190 C (375 F). Chop the broccolini and asparagus into bite sized pieces and toss with a little olive oil and a pinch of sea salt. Roast for about 20 minutes, stirring regularly, or until nice and tender.
  2. Once the veggies are cooked combine the flours, potato starch, baking soda, baking powder, salt, herbs, and pepper in a medium bowl and mix well. In another bowl combine the oil, water, and vinegar. Mix the wet mixture into the dry mixture, stirring until well incorporated.
  3. Line two trays with parchment paper and evenly divide the batter (it will be the consistency of a thick cake batter) into four equal mounds. Using the back of a spoon spread each in a 20 cm (8 inch) diameter circle.
  4. Bake the crust in the 190 C (375) oven for 15 or 20 minutes (I currently have a very hot oven, so they didn't take long), or until the middles have fimed up and you can easily lift the crust off the parchment.
  5. Top the pizza crust with the passata or other tomato sauce, roasted veggies, slices of heirloom tomatoes, fresh rosemary, olives, pesto, and cheese if desired. Be sure not to overload your pizza with too much sauce of fresh tomatoes as the may cause the crust to get a little soft.
  6. Pop the pizza back into the oven and bake for another 15 minutes or until everything is nice and warm, or the cheese is melted.

  3. Thank you, Cecilie. Any acid should do the trick. You could use white vinegar or lemon juice. I hope that helps <3

  5. I think that using arrowroot, or even tapicoa starch. would work just fine. The end result might have a slightly different texture, but it should be just as tasty 🙂
