Recipe Information
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
Instructions
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.
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.
Preheat your oven to 230°C (450°F).
After the batter has rested, skim off any foam that may have formed on top and stir gently.
Add 45 milliliters of the extra virgin olive oil, ground black pepper, and garlic powder to the batter. Mix well to combine.
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.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly across the surface. Sprinkle fresh rosemary leaves over the top.
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.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack.
Slice into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your low sodium farinata as a snack, appetizer, or side dish.
