Ingredients
- 240 grams Chickpea flour
- 720 milliliters Water
- 60 milliliters Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary leaves
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour and water until you have a smooth, lump-free batter. This should take about 2-3 minutes of continuous whisking.
Step 2
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for at least 2 hours. This allows the flour to hydrate properly.
Step 3
Preheat your oven to 230°C (450°F).
Step 4
After the batter has rested, skim off any foam that may have formed on top and stir gently.
Step 5
Add 45 milliliters of the extra virgin olive oil, ground black pepper, and garlic powder to the batter. Mix well to combine.
Step 6
Pour the remaining 15 milliliters of olive oil into a 12-inch (30 cm) round pizza pan or cast-iron skillet and spread evenly to coat the base.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly across the surface. Sprinkle fresh rosemary leaves over the top.
Step 8
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the farinata is golden brown on the edges and cooked through.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack.
Step 10
Slice into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your low sodium farinata as a snack, appetizer, or side dish.
