Jalapeno pizza with cashew cheese and gluten-free gram flour base

Gram flour is one of my favourite ingredients. First it's very high in protein, healthy and I find I digest it much better than chickpeas on their own.
And a pizza base made with this gluten-free flour gives your pizza another element of yumminess. The flavour is a bit similar to an egg omelette but has more of a starchy taste, similar to potatoes. Try it for yourself, it's a deliciously healthy treat.
INGREDIENTS (2 pizzas):
Ingredients gluten-free pizza base:
- 1 cup gram flour (chickpea flour)
- 3/4 cup plant based milk (unsweetened) or water
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
Ingredients cashew cheese:
- 80g cashews
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- 1/3 tsp salt
- 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
Ingredients pizza toppings:
- Jalapeno peppers
- Sun-dried tomatoes
- Mushrooms
- 1 onion
- Tomato paste
- Oregano
METHOD:
Preheat your oven to 180C (360F).
Whisk all pizza base ingredients together and make sure there are no lumps - If you are lazy just mix them into a blender, I find it's the quickest way. Then add some oil to a pan (use a kitchen towel to distribute evenly), pour the base into it and cook for about 5-10 minutes on both sides (flip like a pancake). The ingredients should be enough for 2 pizza bases.
Clean the blender if you used it and continue making the cashew cheese. Put all ingredients into a powerful smoothie blender (if yours isn't very powerful you might have to soak the cashews for a few hours beforehand). Blend until you get a smooth paste.
Spread some tomato paste on the gram flour pizza bases, add cashew cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, sliced mushrooms and sliced onions and oregano on top. I always drizzle a bit more salt on top as well. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and bake in the oven for 10 minutes.
Take out and enjoy!
And if you love pizza as much as I do try my other aubergine pizza with cashew cheese.
