Lentil pizza crust. Vegan, gluten free, yeast free.

One week, I made a quinoa crust, which I enjoyed but no-one else quite liked it. Going to have to play around with that one…

Another week I made pizza crusts using spelt flour, which isn’t gluten-free so I guess that was cheating

And this week, I made lentil pizza crusts.

Lentil pizza crust

Each pizza contains approximately 1/2 cup of red lentils, which will provide you with a lot of protein, iron, copper, manganese, and folate. source Is this the most nutritious pizza base ever? I think so!

Feel free to play around with the seasonings in the lentil pizza crust recipe – I used a little oregano and garlic but you could use more, or use other herbs! Have fun with it!

Also, in case you were wondering, here’s what I’ve topped my lentil pizza crust with: passata (tomato puree), tomato, onion, artichoke, capsicum, olives and mushroom (then some fresh brahmi and purslane added after baking, plus a few brahmi flowers because they are cute 🙂 ). Yes, it’s cheeseless! Sometimes I’ll make a vegan cheese but most of the time we eat cheeseless pizza.
