Sweet and spicy golden chia pizza

27th July 2016 by bos.kitchen 6 Comments

sweet and spicy golden chia pizza with balsamic glaze When I have a sudden urge for pizza (which often happens, at about 11am..) I can rest easy in the knowledge I can whip up a gluten free pizza in time for lunch. That’s the neat thing about a gluten free pizza crust, it can be very quick to make. No kneading either!  This crust is thin, crisp and able to withstand being sliced. The sauce is sweet, spicy and slightly sticky. It’s a simple recipe, I’d love to know if you give it a go. Just grab some gram flour and chia seeds and we’re half way to pizza time..

Recipe (makes 1 small pizza)

For the crust –

  • 1/2 cup gram flour
  • 3 tbsp Organic Burst chia seeds mixed with 6 tbsp water
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
  • Himalayan pink salt and black pepper

For the sweet and spicy sauce –

  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 small fresh red chili, diced (use half without the seeds if you’re not a fan of heat)
  • 1 tin/carton of organic chopped tomatoes
  • 4 tbsp maple syrup
  • 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • Salt and pepper
  • Toppings of choice- I used mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, sweet bite peppers and fresh basil
  1. Pre heat oven to 180 degrees and lightly grease a large baking tray or line with greaseproof paper.
  2. Make your sweet and spicy sauce. Add coconut oil to a medium size sauce pan and heat gently. Add minced garlic, oregano and diced chili to the oil and fry over a gentle heat until soft and fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Take care not to let the garlic brown.
  3. Add the tomatoes and maple syrup and leave on a gentle simmer.
  4. While the sauce is cooking, make the pizza crust. In a mixing bowl, mix chia seeds and 6 tbsp water to form a gel.
  5. Add gram flour, water, turmeric, pink salt and pepper to the bowl and mix well until it comes together as a sticky dough. Add a little more water if you need to.
  6. Flatten out on to your greased or lined baking tray into a round pizza shape. Bake for 25 mins or until firm.
  7. While the pizza is cooking, check the sauce for flavour- add more maple syrup or chili accordingly. Add the balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper to the sauce and stir well. You want the sauce to reduce down by at least half, so turn the heat up if you need to.
  8. Take out your golden pizza crust and top with sweet and spicy sauce and toppings of choice. Pop back in the oven for another 7-10 minutes until the vegetables have browned.

    8:56am EDT …Gorgeous greetings from Toronto! Thank you for this pizza recipe. Question: as you are mixing metric with imperial measurements, and you’re in a different country, would you please clarify the measurement of the container of chopped tomatoes, please? Canada’s grocery stores carry a variety of sizes, and I am unclear as to which size you are referring to. Thank you! Looking forward to trying this!

      Hello Danielle! Sorry for the delay in getting back to you and I’m really sorry for the measurement confusion. Most tins of chopped tomatoes here are 400g. I hope this helps! Thank you for the feedback, I’ll try and stick with either imperial or metric measurements for future recipes! Best, Bo

        10:39am EDT…Good morning, Bo! Thank you so much for getting back to me – the measurement will help tremendously! As for metric vs imperial, I think only America and perhaps one other country use imperial. Canada has had metric since 1970, and we were slow in adopting it! Go metric the way – yay! Stay groovy! Cheers, Danielle DuBois, Toronto

          Good morning, Danielle! I have a tendency to flit between the two, as my Grandmas always used imperial measurements. I will definitely bear this in mind for future recipes though and stick with metric, time to move on! 🙂 Stay groovy too and have a fabulous day, Bo

Hello and welcome to my blog! I'm a vegan recipe developer from the UK with a passion for healthy, delicious food. Read More…

Creamy vanilla cheesecakes with cranberry compote❣️ such a deliciously creamy and tangy combo and perfect for your festive table🎄If you don’t have a mini cheesecake tin you can also make this into one big cheesecake instead 😋 The filling is oh so creamy, you’d never guess it was dairy free! 

As a little gift 🎁 before the end of the year I’d love to offer two people the chance to WIN a copy of my cookbook and some dairy free goodies - just tag a friend below and I’ll pick the winners on Friday!😌🌟

Vanilla cheesecakes with cranberry compote (makes 9)

250g ginger nut biscuits
100g dairy free butter
300g cashews, soaked overnight
340g dairy free cream cheese
80g icing sugar
1 tbsp vanilla extract 
200g coconut cream
2-4 tbsp coconut milk 

200g fresh cranberries
5 tbsp water
5 tbsp caster sugar 

Prepare the base by processing ginger biscuits and butter together to a fine crumb. Press into a mini cheesecake tin and set aside in the fridge to chill. 

Add soaked cashews to a food processor and blend on high for 10 minutes until smooth and silky. Add in dairy free cream cheese, icing sugar, vanilla, coconut milk and cream and process until fully incorporated. Pour cheesecake filling on top of the bases and set aside to chill overnight in the fridge. 

To make the compote, add cranberries, water and sugar to a small pan and bring to a simmer. Cook for 10-15 minutes until jammy. Spoon compote on top of the cheesecakes and enjoy!
