Gluten Free Mini Pizza with Chickpea Flour
Iva
Hello friends! Chickpea flour (a.k.a. garbanzo flour, besan, gram flour) is extremely fine, gluten-free and rich in protein. It is one of my favorites among the many types of flour. It is ideal for pancakes, various baked goods, crackers and pizza of course. Has anyone tried cooking with chickpea flour? You definitely must try it, if you didn't.
Ingredients

1 cup chickpea flour (a.k.a. besan, gram flour)

-
1 tbsp Italian seasoning (oregano, basil and thyme)
-
100 g mozzarella (or pizza cheese)
