Nutrition & macros (per serving)

Ingredients

• 1 Cup Chickpea Flour
• 1 Cup Water
• 1 Cup Olive Oil
• 1 Cup Salt
• 1 Cup Pepper

Method

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