We tried something similar at a top notch pizza joint in Denver and I, of course, had to replicate it myself in a healthier fashion. Chickpea pizza crust! More fiber and protein than conventional crust. And, in my opinion, tastes better too!

2. Mix together flower, salt, and garlic powder with 2/3 cup water.
