A bread like polenta, but without the corn! This is gluten-free bread with herb flavors based on my take of Liguria, Italy recipes.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup chickpea (garbanzo bean) flour

  • 1 cup water

  • cooking spray

  • 2 tablespoons oil

  • 1 ½ teaspoons Italian seasoning

  • 1 ½ teaspoons chopped dried rosemary

  • ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 pinch salt to taste (Optional)

Directions

  1. Whisk chickpea flour and water together in a bowl until smooth; let sit at room temperature, 2 to 6 hours.

  2. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Spray the inside of an 8-inch metal pie pan.

  3. Skim foam from the top of chickpea-water mixture. Add oil, Italian seasoning, and rosemary and stir until combined. Pour mixture into the prepared pan; sprinkle black pepper and salt over the top.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until edges begin to brown, about 15 minutes. Remove bread from pan and cut into wedges.

Recipe Tip

Use a metal pie pan; a glass or ceramic one may break with the extremely high temperature.
