Ingredients

  • 1 cup all purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1-½ cups warm water
  • 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (plus extra, for drizzling)
  • 1 /2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoon coconut sugar
  • 1 tablespoon dry active yeast
  • 2 cups chickpeas, cooked
  • 2 cups frozen spinach, defrosted
  • 3 tablespoon nutritional yeast
  • 1 yellow onion, cut into thin rings
  • cup tomato sauce
  • 4 tablespoon pumpkin puree
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 pomegranate, seeds only
  • ½ cup pecans, lightly toasted, crushed

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 246°C/475°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Add the flours, salt, water, active yeast, and sugar into a large bowl, and mix with a fork, incorporating all the ingredients to form a sticky dough.
  • Knead the dough with your hands for 5 minutes (or use a standing mixer with bowl) to form an elastic dough, shape it into a ball, then cover the bowl with a clean towel and let it rise at room temperature for 60 minutes.
  • Add the tomato sauce, cumin, and pumpkin puree into a blender and process to obtain a smooth sauce. Set aside.
  • When the dough has doubled its size, punch it down to release the air, and place it on a floured surface. Roll it with a dough roller into a 13-inch pizza crust or two 6-inch crusts.
  • Transfer the crust(s) onto the baking sheet, and spread the pumpkin tomato sauce on top.
  • Add the chickpeas, spinach, and onion rings, drizzle with olive oil, and bake for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the pizza from the oven, top with nutritional yeast, crushed pecans, and pomegranate seeds, cut it into slices, and serve warm.
