Ingredients
- 900 milliliters water lukewarm
- 300 grams chickpea flour garbanzo bean flour
- 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Pinch salt
- Pinch black pepper
Instructions
- Place the garbanzo bean flour in a mound in a large bowl
- Add the lukewarm water very slowly while mixing and dissolving the flour with a wooden spoon to form a homogenous mixture. Be careful to mix thoroughly to avoid the formation of clumps.
- Let it sit for at least 4 hours at room temperature.
- Every 2 hours, use a skimming spoon to remove the foam that has formed at the top of the mixture, then stir the mixture.
- After 4 hours, add the salt and half of the olive oil, then mix everything well.
- Add the remaining ½ cup of olive oil to a 15-inches round baking pan, making sure to cover the entire tray (called a testo, the traditional tray used is one made of tinned copper; an alternative to this is aluminum).
- Turn on the oven to 500F.
- Pour the mixture through a strainer and into the pan. Mix until everything is homogeneous and thin.
- Put the pan in the oven and cook it until the mixture turns golden (about 20 minutes, depending on the oven).
- Turn on the broiler until the surface develops a crust that is light-brown hazelnut in color.
- Remove it from the oven and sprinkle with ground pepper. After a minute of brief cooling, cut it in squares and serve it warm.
- It is usually served with cooked vegetables, but it can also be eaten as is.
