Ingredients

Preparation

  1. Prepare the Batter: Whisk together chickpea flour, water, salt, and pepper.
  2. Let sit for at least 4 hours.
  3. Bake: Preheat the oven to 220°C (430°F).
  4. Pour olive oil into a round baking dish and heat in the oven.
  5. Pour in the batter and bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden.
  6. Serve: Slice and serve hot, optionally with black pepper on top.
  7. Let the batter rest for at least 2 hours, or overnight in the refrigerator, to ensure the chickpea flour fully hydrates and the flavors meld.
  8. For a crispy edge, preheat the baking pan with oil in the oven before adding the batter.
