Here is one recipe:

Was wondering how to go about making it compliant for the WFPB way of eating. Very interested as I can't eat anything with gluten and no rice or oats either. Socca is made with chickpea flour.
Any suggestions on how to adapt it? I was thinking maybe I could use it as a pizza crust since I still haven't come up with a compliant crust without using wheat, oats, or rice flours. All the various crusts I have tried so far have been very heavy. Have tried several chickpea crust in the past and they were way too heavy.
Would love some guidance in this area. Thank you for any and all input.

Have watched the video links and read the recipes. All sound great but the Mexican Quinoa Flatbread would be my first choice to try. Since we are still in the rental house without a blender or food processor, will have to stick to using chickpea flour and go from there. Will use the socca recipe without oil and add baking powder.
Have been without a blender or food processor for six months and it looks like it will another five months before we can move back into our home and finally be able to unpack our various kitchen appliances and implements. Had not thought about how much I depended on a blender and/or food processor until after I no longer had them. Could have purchased new ones but they would just add more to be moved back into our house. All the furnishings in the rental are also rented. Our blender and food processor are in great shape and really don't need to be replaced. About half the WFPB recipes I cooked before the hurricane called for a blender or food processor. Been cooking lots of soups and stews and now salads over the past six months as well as some of Jeff Novick's Fast Meals and burgers. My fellows miss their hummus or sauces and so do I. After tried some of the commercial hummus and they just don't like them.
Thanks so much for your input and suggestions. The recipes and videos really increased my cooking horizons as I had never heard of Chickpea or quinoa tofu much less using it as a cheese substitute or tofu substitute. Have eaten flat bread at some restaurants before starting to follow WFPB but never gave it a thought. Just have done without flour products completely since starting this WOE.
