Ingredients
4 servings
- Chickpea flour — to buy250 g
- Water — to buy50 cl
- Olive oil — to buy4 c. à s.
- Salt — to buy1 c. à c.
- Pepper — to buy1 pincée
Preparation
In a bowl, whisk the chickpea flour with the water until you get a smooth batter with no lumps. Let rest for 20-30 minutes at room temperature.
Preheat the oven to 220°C with a baking dish or ovenproof pan inside, so it gets very hot.
Skim off the foam that has formed on the surface of the batter, then season with salt, pepper and a drizzle of olive oil.
Pour a little olive oil into the scorching-hot dish, then immediately pour the batter in: it should sizzle on contact.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the top is golden with a few brown spots and the edges are crisp.
Cut into slices and serve piping hot, optionally alongside a slice of pizza in the classic "pizza a caballo" style.
