Ingredients

  • 1/4 Cup Chia seeds
  • 2 1/2 Cups Whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 3 teaspoons Baking Soda
  • 3 teaspoons Dried Basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Olive Oil
  • 1 1/2 Cups Water
  • 1 Cup Marinara Sauce
  • 1 Cup Mozzarella Cheese, Ricotta or Parmesan
  • 3 slices tomato
  • 1/2 teaspoon Chopped Basil
  • Mushrooms or Eggplant

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

  • Combine the chia seeds, flour, baking powder, garlic powder, salt and basil in a medium-sized bowl. 
  • Pour in the warm water and oil. Mix the ingredients together using a spoon.
  • Pour the mixture on a clean and floured surface. Knead it until you form a dough. This should not take more than 2 minutes. 
  • Using a rolling pin line, you have to make a large circle. Spray a pizza pan with cooking spray. 
  • Put the dough on the pan. Roll in and then pinch the edges so that you can form a crust. 
  • Now cook this crust for 10 minutes or until the dough appears to be dry.
  • Choose your Toppings. I would recommend using mushrooms, tomatoes, basil, and add parmesan, ricotta or Mozzarella cheese on top.
  • Simply spread about a cup of marinara sauce on the cup then sprinkle with 3 ounces of shredded mozzarella cheese. 
  • Dollop half a cup of ricotta cheese over the pizza dough and top it with 3 slices of fresh plum tomatoes and sliced mushrooms.
  • Sprinkle with a tablespoon of finely grated Parmesan cheese before baking it for 10-12 minutes at 450 degrees Fahrenheit.

Notes

This is a very dense crust since it doesn't contain yeast, but the bonus is it takes no time to put together since you don't have to let it rise.
