  • Eggless Gluten Free Pizza Recipe with Lentil Crust

We all love Pizza, don’t we? But we avoid Pizza because of the calorie content in the Pizza. I have had my experiments in making a whole wheat healthy Pizza but the experimental soul did not rest. It kept thinking of what other variations I can do with the Pizza and finally I am with you with my latest Gluten-free Pizza recipe.

Gluten-free Pizza with Lentils, does it sound different?

Yes, of course, it is. I am sure you would have seen quite a few healthy pizzas with wheat or gluten-free pizza recipes. But what if I say, that I haven’t used any flour for this pizza base!

You heard it right. There is flour, no yeast no butter, and no oil.

Healthy Vegan Gluten Free Pizza

I am on a spree on converting regular baked recipes into healthy recipes. I was highly encouraged by my fellow readers from the US on my Vegan Banana Bread.

The response was overwhelming and motivated me more to go for vegan and gluten-free recipes. My recipe is gluten-free and if anyone wants to make it Vegan then all they need to do is to replace the regular cheese with vegan cheese. That is it.

Your gluten-free vegan pizza will be ready. Isn’t that simple? You can say thanks to me for this by leaving your wonderful comments and suggestions.

Gluten Free Pizza Base

The pizza crust is the most important part of any Pizza. You can get a variety of Pizza recipes by making few variations here and there in the Pizza Crust.

Friday evening and the weekend starts. We decided to have a Pizza party at my place. I prepared everything as per the demand of the family but did a few preparations for my experiment as well.

I soaked mix lentils and then made a puree out of it. Using a non-stick pan, I prepared a few pizza bases from that batter.

In the evening when I was baking regular Pizzas for all, I used one base made of lentils to make experimental Pizza and served that too. I was surprised to see that all in the family had it happily and were like Wow! What is this?

I realized that my experiment is successful. So now other than wheat, I have a protein-rich healthy option to feed my family.

The goodness of lentils

I have used split green gram, split black gram and split red lentil to make the base. Lentils are a high source of nutrients including manganese, potassium, magnesium, folate, copper, zinc, iron and various B vitamins.

These are also very filling food, high in protein, resistant starch, and dietary fiber. The health benefits of lentils include high protein content, better digestion, diabetes control, weight loss. If you are a vegetarian then these are considered as a cheap source for protein.

  • Hi,
    Your post really intrigued me.
    Just have couple of queries:
    1. In the image of the dals, u have shown udat, masoor n yellow moong dal but the recipe says green moong black moong n masoor…
    2. Does the base once put on the tawa, increase in height or does it remain 1/4″ thick only
    3. Does it become like a thick dosa n remain soft after cooking and once you bake it does it regain its crispness?
    4. Does it require an idly batter grinder or regular mixie should do?
    Thank you in advance
    Surely wanna try my hands at the recipe

    • Hello Rajul,
      Thanks for writing back.
      Question 1:
      The ingredients list shows three pulses
      Split Green Gram = Yellow Moong
      Split Black Gram = Urad
      Split Red Lentil = Masoor
      Reference: http://www.syvum.com/recipes/indian/glossp1.html

      Question 2
      The base does not increase in thickness because there is no leavening agent is used nor fermentation.

      Question 3
      The answer is Yes

      Question 4
      I used regular mixer grinder that generally every home will have.

      In case you have more questions, please do not hesitate.
      Do share your experience after trying this recipe.
      – Sonia
