Italian Chickpea "Bread"

I feel like I haven't posted in forever! For the 3 people that follow my blog, I DO truly hope you make this. It's really, really good. 

And easy :)

You'll need:

2 1/2 cups of Chickpea (garbanzo bean) flour. I found mine at a tiny healthfood store, but I would guess it's at Sprouts, Whole Foods, etc....
3 1/2 cups COLD water
Salt
Pepper
Olive oil


Pour the flour and salt and pepper into a bowl and slowly whisk the cold water into it...



 Now THIS IS IMPORTANT! Let it sit for about 3 hours. Walk away. Go to the gym, Read a book. Watch a movie. Don't skip this step!!

After 3 hours have elapsed, put the olive oil into a baking sheet (or a couple, I had a lot of batter). Be generous! Pour the batter in about 1/2 inch. Don't make it too thick. 

Bake at 350 for about 30-40 minutes. Let cool and slice into little squares.



It's tempting, but please, let it cool a bit!




Serve with a delicious spread. Maybe it's pesto. Maybe it's tapenade. Maybe it's cheese! Hummus would be ok too but that might overload the beany-ness of it all.


It's not really "Bread", but damn, it's good.



Enjoy!!!
