Farinata pizza mmmm... gf (assuming you choose gf toppings and sauce (can be vegan or meaty or whatever) also farinata. also faux parm


mix
1 1/2 c garbanzo flour (may be labeled chenna)
1/4 c olive oil
Salt if you want
1 cup water or enough to make a crepe textured batter (this can vary based on altitude and moisture level in house)
Rosemary and or black pepper if you want (any other herbs spices you desire)
Mix thoroughly (you can't over beat this) and allow to set for anywhere from 1 hr to 2 days covered in the fridge.
Pour in well seasoned iron skillet or metal cake or tart pan
(if you want pretty slices use a round of parchment to make the lifting process easy)
Bake 10-15 minutes at 425 F add sauce and top (should resemble finemeal cornbread)
If eating without toppings (as is far more traditional) bake about 5 min longer)

Apply 3-5 tb of sauce of choice
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
sauce ideas:
any pizza sauce you like including peanut sauce, pesto,refried beans with lime juice, marinara...... whatever you like.
usually we use homemade marinara
 apply 1/2 -3/4 lbs of veggies/ toppings you like on pizza
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
at this point for us this includes
artichokes, broccoli, tiny tomatoes, halved brussel sprouts, garlic,pineapple, peppers, tempeh, roasted tofu (on peanut sauce pizza with broccoli and pineapple) red potatoes, leeks, mushrooms, olives, carmelised onions,,jalapenos, eggplant, spinach, slivered almonds all in bite size pieces
 add cheese/cheez of choice or skip either entirely and toss back in 425 f oven
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Add cheese to taste and spray a thin layer of olive oil to assist in happy brown bubble production like, asiago,parmesan, ricotta, gouda,etc

OR put 1/2 c almonds, 2 tb nutritional yeast 1 clove garlic and any herbs you like in a blender and grind to powder
and apply to pizza as parm substitute
Teese works pretty well too if you're CFGF and nut allergic
 Take out after cheese is melted or veg are done to taste 5-10 minutes
 Allow 5 minutes for bread part  to solid up and serve.
Notes for the Cheap: Chenna/garbanzo flour will usually be less expensive/ easier to find at grocery stores in Indian and Pakistani neighborhoods.
