Chickpea Flour Pizza dough recipe!!!

OMG!!! Last night I had a wonderful new Pizza made with Chickpea flour. Chickpea Flour (Garbanzo bean flour) is Wheat free, Gluten free, high in Protein and low in Carbs and still delicous with it's nutty flavor. I changed the toppings from the original recipe. I did use Pecorino cheese (cheese made from sheep). I also used fresh herbs from the garden, and used spinach, onion and mushrooms. This Pizza was top notch!!!

Ingredients

Makes one 10-inch pizza

2/3 cup chickpea flour

Coarse salt

1 cup cold water

1/2 bunch broccoli rabe, tough ends removed, cut into 2-inch lengths

1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crumbled

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

3/4 cup (3 ounces) shredded aged gouda, Manchego, or Fontina cheese

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour and 3/4 teaspoon of salt. Gradually whisk in the water until smooth. Let stand 30 minutes at room temperature.

3. Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the broccoli rabe until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Drain.

4. Whisk the rosemary and 1 tablespoon of the oil into the chickpea mixture. In a large cast iron skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium. Place the pan in the oven and let it heat up for 10 minutes. Pour the chickpea mixture into the pan, top it with the cheese, the broccoli rabe, and the remaining oil. Place in the oven and cook until the bottom is crisp and the sides are golden, about 15 minutes.
