Ingredients
FOR THE BERBERE CHICKPEAS:
265gChickpeas drained and patted dry*.1 can or jar with 400g
FOR THE BERBERE CHICKPEAS Place all ingredients in a large bowl and mix with a wooden spoon until the chickpeas are well combined with all other ingredients. Cover and set aside.
265 g Chickpeas drained and patted dry*., ½ tbspn Coriander, 1 tbspn Sweet bell pepper, ½ tbspn Paprika smoked, ½ tbspn Cumin, ¼ tbspn Cardamom, ¼ tbspn Mustard seed, ½ tbspn Cinnamon, 1/8 tbspn Clove powder, ¼ tbspn Cayenne pepper or 1 Bird Eye Chili, 15 ml Olive oil
For the dough first put the wet ingredients, then the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix with a food processor (kneading chopper) or with your hands for about 3-4 minutes until a smooth dough. If the dough is too dry, carefully add a little more water. If the dough is too wet, add a little more flour. Briefly remove dough from bowl, flour bottom of bowl (so dough does not stick).
240 g Spelt flour, ½ tbspn Salt, 1 tbspn Dry yeast, 200 ml lukewarm water, 1 tbspn Raw cane sugar
Cover (I use a tea towel and a lid) and place in a warm, but not too hot, place where there are no drafts. The dough should still be able to breathe (do not cover too tightly), as the yeast needs heat and oxygen to rise. Let rise for 1 hour.
At the end of the baking time, preheat the oven to 190 degrees (top and bottom heat) and line a baking tray with wrapping paper.
TANDOORI: Transfer the dough to a floured work surface and knead again with your hands. Roll out with a pastry roller to a round (about 30 centimeters in diameter) dough. Spread evenly with tomato sauce, then top with tomato slices, chickpeas and onion.
150 g Tomato sauce or passata, 1 Piece red onion, 2 Piece Tomatoes
Place in oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until pizza is nice and golden brown around the edges.
Remove from oven, cut into pieces, drizzle with tahini dressing and enjoy!
