Easy Gluten free Yeast free Vegan Pizza Crust Recipe. How to make the best yeast-free gluten-free crust with just 4 main ingredients. Gum-free Soy-free Recipe
We’ve been eating a lot of chickpea flour lately. My parents are in town and Dad prefers all Indian food, every single day. So breakfast is always savory, chickpea flour pancakes, savory oats and such. Snacks are chivda (savory Indian spiced trail mix), handvo (savory split pea zucchini cakes from the book) or baked fritters of some sort, lunch yesterday was Kadhi Pakora with homemade almond cashew yogurt (recipe in my cookbook) with baked onion fritters. Mom was amazed at how good the non dairy yogurt turned out with simple steps.
Most of these posts were planned and scheduled in August, and I try to add some to them before they get posted.
A simple yeast-free gluten-free Pizza crust topped with sauce of choice, vegan cheese or tofu ricotta, and fresh basil today. This pizza crust is easy and has No gluten, no yeast, no gum, no nuts and has chickpea flour. You can make it grain-free by using more chickpea flour. Use white chia seeds instead of black for a lighter crust color. The black chia seeds also make it look a bit grey-ish. Add your favorite sauces and toppings. See my Pizza collection for options!
Above picture, the crust is Sturdy enough to hold the toppings! It is like socca but fluffier and sturdy.
Soft and fluffy and not crumbly.

Gluten free Yeast free Vegan Pizza Crust Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup chickpea flour, flour of white garbanzo beans
- 2 Tbsp chia seed meal
- 2 Tbsp brown rice flour , or white rice flour
- 1 Tbsp coconut flour, or use more chickpea flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Wet
- 1 Tbsp oil
- 1/2 tsp lemon juice
- 3/4 cup + 2 Tbsp water
Toppings
- Marinara or other pizza sauce

Instructions
- Roast the chickpea flour in a large skillet over medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes. Stir once every minute for the first 2 minutes. Then every 20 seconds. Cool and transfer to a bowl. Roasted flour gives a better flavor profile. You can skip the roasting and use the chickpea flour as is in the batter..
- Add the rest of the dry ingredients to the chickpea flour bowl and whisk well.
- Add lemon juice to 3/4 cup water and add to the bowl. Add oil and mix or whisk until there are no lumps. Add 1 to 2 tbsps more water and mix in to make a thick batter. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F / 200ºc.
- If the batter is too thick/stiff, add 1 to 2 tsp more water and mix in. Drop the thick batter on parchment lined baking sheet. Spray water on the batter. Use a large spoon or spatula to spread it into a circle. Spray water on the batter to avoid sticking to the spatula while spreading.
- Bake the crust for 12 minutes. Remove from oven and top with sauce, veggies, cheese of choice.
- Bake again for 12 to 14 minutes. Broil for a minute to crisp or melt the cheese if needed.
- Cool for 2 minutes before slicing.

We have a chickpea allergy, do you have a recipe without it? I saw your other yeast free crust recipe, but for gluten free, it redirected to here. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Is the oil absolutely necessary?
Yes it should be ok without oil. Add some non dairy yogurt or cashew cream instead.
Just made this, but cheated a bit- no oil, no flour other than chickpea flour. still turned out amazingly! (added a pesto cashew “cream” sauce and a ton of veggies.
aha! pesto saves the day again
I subbed the chia seed meal for psyllium husk powder- the crust cooked up beautifully. Very sturdy- I was able to load it with toppings and could pick up the pieces with no difficulty. Not at all crumbly, either! Great gluten free crust, thank you!
great idea! thanks for the feedback
Can this be cooked longer and/or at a higher heat to get a crispy crust?
yes. Also replace some of the chickpea flour with rice flour for crispier.
Sorry for sticking my nose in but its probably the aluminum but you can get aluminum free. Looks tasty thanks, I am looking for your buckwheat wrap recipe and so far am I printing a pitta bread and pizza, you are a bad influence, but also a good one :o)
Hi Richa, your recipes are interesting, but I do hesitate as baking soda and power are not good for children as per my research on internet.
What is your opinion about it ?
Since I am vegetarian and thinking to become vegan I am discouraged to bake either cakes or muffins.

Can you point me to some article where it says baking powder and soda have issues?
You can bake yeast breads that dont need baking powder. There are always plenty of options when you look for them.
Hi! really want to make this but wondering about some substitutions. Can I use only chickpea flour instead of the brown rice AND coconut flour or will this throw off the recipe? Also I only have whole chia seeds. Can I use these or flax meal instead of the chia seed meal?
Thanks!!
you can put the chia seeds in a blender to make a meal and use. Yes to using chickpea flour instead of rice and coconut flour. The crust will be softer then.
Very yummy and easy to make ^_^
Is the chia seed meal supposed to be 2 teasponns, since it’s a small “t” (even though there’s a “b”!) or is it 2 tablespoons?
its tablespoon. Chia seeds hold the crust together, so you need tablespoons.
