Ingredients
- 1 cup Chickpea flour
- 1.5 cups Water
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to 450°F (232°C). Place a cast-iron skillet or heavy baking dish inside to heat up.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, water, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and salt until smooth. Let the batter sit for at least 10 to 15 minutes to hydrate the flour.
Step 3
While the batter is resting, finely chop fresh rosemary and set it aside.
Step 4
Carefully remove the preheated skillet from the oven and coat it with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, swirling to ensure even coverage.
Step 5
Whisk the batter again to ensure it's well mixed, then stir in the chopped rosemary, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the hot skillet, spreading it evenly across the surface.
Step 7
Return the skillet to the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the edges of the farinata are golden and crisp.
Step 8
For additional flavor, switch to the broil setting for the last 2 to 3 minutes of baking. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
Step 9
Remove the farinata from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Step 10
Serve warm, drizzled with a little extra olive oil and a sprinkle of freshly chopped rosemary if desired.
