Ingredients

• 1.5 cups chickpea flour
• 0.5 cups unflavored protein powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 3 egg whites
• 0.75 cups water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup crushed tomatoes
• 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese
• 0.25 cups fresh basil leaves
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together chickpea flour, unflavored protein powder, and baking powder.

Step 3

Add egg whites, water, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and salt to the dry ingredients. Mix until you achieve a smooth batter.

Step 4

Pour the batter onto a piece of parchment paper, using a spatula to spread it into a 12-inch circle.

Step 5

Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the batter onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.

Step 6

Bake the crust in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until it is firm and slightly golden.

Step 7

While the crust is baking, prepare the toppings. Slice the fresh mozzarella and chop or tear the basil leaves.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the crushed tomatoes with oregano, garlic powder, and black pepper.

Step 9

Remove the crust from the oven and spread the tomato mixture evenly over the surface.

Step 10

Arrange the slices of mozzarella over the tomato sauce.

Step 11

Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 12

Remove from the oven, let cool for a minute, and then sprinkle fresh basil over the top.

Step 13

Drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil before slicing and serving.
