This 5 Step Healthy Gluten-Free Pizza Is Something Out of Your Happiest Dreams
Did someone say healthy pizza? Yeah, that would be us. It may seem impossible that the words healthy and pizza can go together, but today, we’re here to blow your minds and say in fact, they can be.
If the thought of making a homemade pizza—dough rolling included—seems far too tedious for you, as it does us, this three ingredient pizza base is going to make your day. The dough recipe is easy, and only requires throwing together some good things in a bowl, letting them sit for an hour then baking them for 5 minutes. Seems pretty easy, eh?
Since there’s probably a whole lot of head scratching happening right now, let’s go over what this healthy pizza dish is. It’s called Socca (soh-ka)1 . The key ingredient is chickpea flour and the original recipe trends towards more of a crepe/pancake texture (it originated in France after all). Recently, the wellness lovers in this universe found a way to thicken the base, giving way to a pizza-like consistency that has everyone swooning. When it gets baked, the result is a product that’s crispy on the edges, chewy in the middle . Plus, since chickpeas are healthier than wheat, this gluten-free dough is not only delicious, but nutritious!
Is your mouthwatering, yet? Okay, let’s get to the recipe then.
