How to Prepare Sweet and Spicy Golden Chia Pizza [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly grease a large baking tray or line with greaseproof paper.
Make your sweet and spicy sauce. Add coconut oil to a medium-sized saucepan 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.
Add the tomatoes and maple syrup and leave on a gentle simmer.
While the sauce is cooking, make the pizza crust. In a mixing bowl, mix chia seeds and 6 tablespoons water to form a gel.
Add chickpea 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.
Flatten out onto your greased or lined baking tray into a round pizza shape. Bake for 25 minutes or until firm.
While the pizza is cooking, check the sauce for flavor. 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.
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.
