Garbanzo Bean Flat Bread

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 cups Bob’s Red Mill Garbanzo Bean Flour
  • 1/2 Tbsp Sea Salt
  • 2 generous Tbsp olive oil
  • about 1 3/4 cups filtered water
  • 1 to 2 Tbsp olive oil on the side
  • Make plain or with seasoning such as rosemary, thyme, sage, basil, oregano.

DIRECTIONS

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees
  • Put flour into large mixing bowl
  • Add salt, generous 2 Tbsp olive oil, and water
  • Whisk until creamy smooth, pourable batter. Let rest for a bit.
  • Add 1 to 2 Tbsp olive oil to the bottom of baking pan. I use cast iron.
  • Heat the oil in the pan, in the 450 degree oven for about 8 minutes.
  • Pull the hot pan out and make sure the oil is covering the bottom of the pan.
  • Pour batter into the hot pan with the hot oil.
  • Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes.

DISHING ON THIS DISH: This is my ‘know by heart’ recipe. Flour, water, salt, and oil thrown together to create this functional flat bread for sandwiches, snacks, breakfast; even pizza crust when I use a round, cast iron pan. It was my first gluten free, yeast free, bread recipes with minimal ingredients that was a success. Play with the recipe a bit. It is so easy to personalize the bread to thinner, thicker, or crispier by adjusting water volume and amounts of batter poured into your pan. The trick to a crispy crust is a hot, oiled pan before you add the batter.

You can even make crackers with this recipe if you have the patience. For crackers, you’ll need cupcake pans – use mini, regular, or large to change up the size of cracker. Put a little oil into each compartment, warm the oil, then add batter into the hot oil. For the mini crackers, you’ll need to use a syringe for the oil and batter. Bake at slightly cooler temp for a little less time, and the little round crackers will slide right onto paper towels to dry when they are done.
