It’s cool to experiment all kinds of dough. Different textures, taste, crunchiness, that’s I love about it! This recipe has chickpea flakes, it is vegan and gluten free, no egg, no butter.

“A soft and yummy dough”

It was inspired by a blog I follow, “Dame Bio”, she has tons of incredible organic and vegan recipes. Food can be super creative but I like to work with a base for the pastry basics. Too technical, it’s too much of a pain when your recipe doesn’t workout. For this base, I wanted more softness and greediness and I added more almond butter in the original recipe.

“Chickpea, the new power ingredient”

The crust is super flavourful due to the chickpea. I honestly believe that chickpeas are going to be the new “gluten free-vegan-super ingredient”, as it can be used in all circonstances: Burger, pasta, dough, pastry, egg white, etc.
