Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams chickpea flour
- 750 milliliters water
- 60 milliliters extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, sift the chickpea flour to remove any lumps.
Gradually add the water to the chickpea flour while whisking continuously until smooth and well combined.
Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and salt to the batter, and whisk until fully incorporated.
Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and let the batter rest for at least 2 hours at room temperature. This step is crucial for allowing the flour to properly hydrate.
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Once the batter has rested, carefully skim off any foam that might have formed on the surface.
Lightly grease a large, shallow baking pan (about 12 to 14 inches in diameter) with the remaining olive oil. Use your fingers or a brush to ensure the oil coats the entire surface.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan. It should be about 1/4 inch thick.
Sprinkle the fresh rosemary and black pepper over the top of the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the farinata is golden brown and the edges start to crisp.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing into wedges.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a snack or accompaniment to your favorite dish.
