Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, water, olive oil, salt, garlic powder, and dried herbs until a smooth batter forms. Let the batter rest for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
-
Once the batter has rested, give it a good stir to ensure it's well combined. If the batter seems too thick, you can add a splash of water to reach a pourable consistency.
-
Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet and use a spatula to spread it out evenly into a thin layer, about 1/4 inch thick.
-
Sprinkle the top of the flatbread with your desired toppings, such as sesame seeds, flaky sea salt, or fresh herbs for added flavor and visual appeal.
-
Bake the flatbread in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy, and the top is set.
-
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the flatbread cool slightly before slicing it into desired portions.
-
Serve the chickpea flatbread warm with your favorite spreads like hummus, tzatziki, or olive tapenade, or use it as a base for open-faced sandwiches or wrap fillings.
