About this recipe:

Rich in natural protein, this plant-based traditional Italian flatbread is made using Chickpea Flour for a simple yet deeply satisfying bake. Crisp at the edges with a soft, almost creamy centre, farinata is a wonderfully versatile dish that’s perfect as an appetiser, light lunch or served alongside your favourite salads and dips.

Made without yeast or gluten, this unleavened flatbread relies on just a handful of wholesome ingredients. For the best flavour, use a good quality cold pressed olive oil, a pinch of fine salt in the batter, and finish with a scattering of salt flakes once baked.

Closely related to the French classic ‘Socca’, farinata is a delicious way to explore traditional Mediterranean baking, bringing rustic flavour and simplicity to your table.

Equipment:

large baking tray and mixing bowl

Ingredients:

100g Doves Farm Organic Chickpea Flour
¼ tsp fine salt
2 tbsp olive oil
100ml water
¼ tsp salt flakes
1 tbsp rosemary (optional)
oil, for tray

Method:

220°C, Fan 200°C, 425°F, Gas 7

Preheat the oven and rub some oil around the inside of a large baking tray or insert a baking liner.
Put the flour, fine salt, olive oil and water into a mixing bowl and stir to make a smooth, thick paste then cover and rest for at least 30 minutes.
Stir the paste, tip it onto the baking tray and spread it into a 23cm/9 inch circle.
Sprinkle with salt fakes and rosemary, if used, and bake for 12-15 minutes.
Slice into triangles and serve warm or cold as a snack or to accompany a meal.
