Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup chickpea flour (besan)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (plus extra for cooking)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • Fresh herbs (optional, e.g., rosemary, thyme)

Instructions

Creating your Easy Gluten-Free Chickpea Flatbread can be a breeze if you follow these steps:

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the chickpea flour, salt, baking powder, and garlic powder, if using. Whisk until well combined.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour the water and olive oil into the dry ingredients. Stir until you have a smooth batter.
  3. Rest the Batter: Let the batter sit for about 5 minutes. This allows the chickpea flour to absorb the liquid fully.
  4. Heat the Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add a little olive oil to coat the surface.
  5. Cook the Flatbread: Pour a ladleful of batter onto the heated pan. Use the back of the ladle to spread it out into a thin round shape. Cook for approximately 3-4 minutes or until bubbles start to form on the surface.
  6. Flip: Carefully flip the flatbread using a spatula and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Repeat: Continue the process until all the batter is used. Add more oil to the pan as needed for cooking.
