Farinata di ceci is a traditional Italian flatbread baked in a skillet in the oven. Or you can call it a pancake. Or a pizza.

Ingredients
- 1 1 cup chickpea flour loosely filled (110 gr)
- 1 1 cup water (240 ml)
- 2 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 2 cloves garlic
- 1 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 1 tsp chili flakes
- ½ ½ teaspoons black pepper
- ½ ½ teaspoons celtic sea salt
- 2 2 dashes extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Mix the flour with the water. Beat lightly with the whisk. Then set aside for at least half an hour.
- Preheat the oven to 390F or 200C.
- The batter has now become a bit thicker, creamier and has more air. Add the extra virgin oil, the (pressed) garlic, the chili flakes and the salt and pepper to taste.
- Grease the pan with a generous dash of mild olive oil. Don't forget the edges!
- Mix the batter briefly again with the whisk. Pour the batter into the pan.
- Place the pan in the oven. First half an hour to 'cook'. For example, in a hot air oven with the rack at a low/middle level. Then for 10 minutes at a higher level with the grill from above to get a nice crust.
- While the cake is still warm, pour a drizzle of olive oil over it.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Delicious for dipping with pesto or baba ganoush.
