It\u2019s a tasty alternative to my vegan pizza dough if you are after something simple and healthier.<\/p>\n<p>This pizza recipe is for my healthy food lovers. It has nothing to do with regular pizza dough, if you like a real Italian pizza dough try my\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theconsciousplantkitchen.com\/spelt-pizza-dough\/\">spelt pizza dough<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theconsciousplantkitchen.com\/vegan-pizza-dough\/\">vegan pizza dough<\/a>\u00a0instead.<\/p>\n<p>This chickpea pizza crust is made from a simple can of chickpea and chickpea flour. Of course, you can make pizza crust from chickpea flour only, but it will be for another recipe post. The taste of chickpea is definitely present, but the proteins it adds to your pizza crust is the best part!<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wprm-recipe-header wprm-recipe-ingredients-header wprm-block-text-bold wprm-align-left wprm-header-decoration-none\">Ingredients<\/h3>\n<div class=\"wprm-unit-conversion-container wprm-unit-conversion-container-50460 wprm-unit-conversion-container-links wprm-block-text-normal\"><a class=\"wprm-unit-conversion wprmpuc-active\" role=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theconsciousplantkitchen.com\/chickpea-pizza-crust\/?fbclid=IwY2xjawRJsctleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFUYjNQNGFmbjh1UTJ1aVRTc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHpi7yw3kYpp61nEaEEsLGh5MgmTETDNBVr62YlkbumeLJb6H1moV0r8J1X30_aem_npBYZwZHsi0sYRa4Uphk7Q#\" data-system=\"1\" data-recipe=\"50460\" aria-label=\"Change unit system to US Customary\">US Customary<\/a>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0<a class=\"wprm-unit-conversion\" role=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theconsciousplantkitchen.com\/chickpea-pizza-crust\/?fbclid=IwY2xjawRJsctleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFUYjNQNGFmbjh1UTJ1aVRTc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHpi7yw3kYpp61nEaEEsLGh5MgmTETDNBVr62YlkbumeLJb6H1moV0r8J1X30_aem_npBYZwZHsi0sYRa4Uphk7Q#\" data-system=\"2\" data-recipe=\"50460\" aria-label=\"Change unit system to Metric\">Metric<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-group\">\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Recipe_1_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-recipe adthrive-recipe-1 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/18190176,311600511\/AdThrive_Recipe_1\/5d7194a03baf163fd7d19b0c_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<ul class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredients\">\n<li class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient\" data-uid=\"0\"><span class=\"wprm-checkbox-container\"><input id=\"wprm-checkbox-7\" class=\"wprm-checkbox\" type=\"checkbox\" aria-label=\"\u00a01 can  Chickpea -
