Pizza is more than just a meal—it’s a global favorite that brings people together with its perfect combination of crispy crust, savory sauce, melted cheese, and endless toppings. Whether enjoyed as a quick snack, a family dinner, or a party treat, pizza has a way of satisfying every craving. From classic margherita to creative, gluten-free options, there’s a pizza for every taste. In this recipe, we are making a healthier twist on the traditional pizza, using chickpeas for a protein-packed, gluten-free base that still delivers all the flavor you love. We’ll be using my homemade pizza sauce, which adds that signature rich flavor (Recipe for the sauce is here).

Preheat the oven to 180°C to get it ready for baking.
Drain the chickpeas and pat dry them with kitchen paper to remove excess moisture.
In a food processor add the eggs, dried chickpeas, and a pinch of salt.
Blend until smooth (1-2min) pushing down any lumps from the sides.
Line some pizza trays or a baking tray with greased baking paper.
Spoon the mixture onto baking paper and shape it into mini pizza bases.
Bake the bases for 10-15min or until cooked through
Meanwhile prepare your toppings and your sauce.
Layer the bases with sauce, preferred toppings and cheese, sprinkling oregano over the top.
Bake a further few minutes under the grill to melt the cheese.
