Gluten Free Garbanzo Fava Bean Flatbread Pizza

Gluten Free Garbanzo Fava Bean Flatbread Pizza with Onion Peppers and Fresh Goat Cheese

Move over boring pizza crust!

Garbanzo Fava Bean flour is a high protein, high fiber, and gluten free alternative to pizza dough. Nutritional yeast adds a smoky richness and B vitamins.

The slight sweetness of the flatbread is balanced by the piney aroma and flavor of the rosemary. The texture is crisp on the outside, and airy on this inside - like a firm pancake.

I like Bob's Red Mill brand Garbanzo Fava Bean flour for this recipe.

Recipe Notes

Make sure your skillet is preheated well. This will prevent the flatbread from sticking to the pan. Don't forget your potholder! The pan will absorb a lot of heat, and the handle will stay hot for a long time.
