Authentic Italian Chickpea Flat Bread
This chickpea flatbread is not only simple to make but also versatile – you can enjoy it as a side, a wrap, or even on its own with your favorite toppings. The nutty flavor of chickpeas shines through, and it pairs beautifully with various dips and spreads.
Ingredients
- 1 cup chickpea flour
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin (optional)
- Fresh herbs (like rosemary or thyme, optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chickpea flour and salt (and cumin if using). Mix well.
- Gradually whisk in the water until you achieve a smooth batter. You want it to be the consistency of pancake batter. Let it sit for about 15-30 minutes to allow the flour to hydrate.
- After resting, stir in the olive oil and any fresh herbs you want to add for extra flavor.
- Preheat your skillet over medium heat. Add a splash of olive oil to coat the pan.
- Pour a ladle of batter into the skillet, swirling to create an even layer. Cook for about 3-5 minutes or until the edges lift and the bottom is golden brown.
- Carefully flip it over and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy.
- Once cooked, transfer the flatbread to a plate and cover it with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
This chickpea flatbread is not just gluten-free, it’s also a fantastic way to incorporate more plant-based ingredients into your diet. Enjoy it with hummus, avocado, or any of your favorite toppings. I can’t wait for you to try it!
