Chickpea Pizza Crust- Gluten Free

Submitted by manushag

"Posted by request, this is a gluten free pizza crust made with spelt and chickpea flours, available in health food stores. You can add garlic, oregano, basil or parmesan cheese to dry ingredients, to make a flavored crust, and top with your favorite pizza toppings. Prep time includes rising time. Although spelt flour does have gluten in it, it is used in many gluten free recipes since people with wheat allergies can usually tolerate spelt flour."
