Farinata is a traditional Italian chickpea flatbread with a crispy exterior and a soft, creamy center. Made with simple ingredients, it’s naturally gluten-free and full of rich, savory flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup chickpea flour
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together chickpea flour and water until smooth and lump-free.
  2. Stir in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) and place an oiled baking pan or cast-iron skillet inside to heat.
  4. Carefully remove the hot pan and pour in the batter, spreading evenly.
  5. Sprinkle with rosemary if using.
  6. Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden and crisp around the edges.
  7. Broil for 1–2 minutes for extra browning if desired.
  8. Slice and serve warm.

Notes

  • Add sliced onions or vegetables before baking for extra flavor.
  • Use herbs like thyme or oregano as alternatives to rosemary.
  • Ensure the pan is hot before adding batter for a crisp crust.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in the oven or skillet to maintain texture.
