Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: Whisk together chickpea flour, water, salt, and pepper. Let sit for at least 4 hours (or overnight in the refrigerator) to ensure the flour fully hydrates.

  2. Bake: Preheat the oven to 220°C (430°F). Pour olive oil into a round baking dish and heat it in the oven for a few minutes. Pour in the batter and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the top is golden and edges are crispy.

  3. Serve: Slice into wedges and serve hot, optionally with an extra sprinkle of black pepper on top.
