Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F/205°C. Add 1 tbsp olive oil to cast iron pan, and place in oven to heat. (If not using a cast iron pan, line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.)

Step 2

Add chickpea flour, tapioca starch, dried mixed herbs and salt to taste to a mixing bowl and whisk to combine.

Step 3

Add ¾ cup water, ¼ a cup at a time, whisking really thoroughly after each addition to avoid lumps. Set aside for 5 minutes to thicken slightly (it will still be runny).

Step 4

Remove cast iron pan from oven and pour batter evenly into it, so it covers surface. (If not using a cast iron pan, pour onto baking sheet and use a spoon to ensure evenly spread in a rough 5mm layer.)

Step 5

Bake for approximately 8 minutes in oven, until pizza crust is just firm but not golden.

Step 6

Spread a layer of tomato sauce over pizza base, scatter over cheese and top with tomato slices and/or other desired toppings.

Step 7

Bake another 7-10 minutes, until cheese is melted and toppings are cooked.

Step 8

Scatter pizza with basil leaves before serving. Enjoy!
