For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a clove of minced garlic to the batter. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a similar oven-safe skillet or baking dish. Just be sure it's well-oiled. Farinata is best served immediately while it's still hot and crispy. However, leftovers can be reheated in the oven or a skillet.

Farinata is a celebration of simplicity. A humble chickpea flour batter transforms into a golden, crusty delight in the oven. The exterior crackles with a satisfying crispness, giving way to a surprisingly creamy and earthy interior. It's a taste of rustic comfort, perfect as a snack, appetizer, or light meal.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large bowl, whisk together the lukewarm water and garbanzo bean flour until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. (2 minutes)
02
StepCover the bowl with plastic wrap or a plate and let the batter rest at room temperature for at least 2 hours. This allows the flour to fully hydrate, resulting in a better texture. (2 hours)
03
StepAfter resting, skim off any foam that has formed on the surface of the batter using a spoon or spatula. (2 minutes)
04
StepWhisk in 3 tablespoons of olive oil, kosher salt, and minced fresh rosemary into the batter until everything is well combined. (2 minutes)
05
StepPreheat your oven to a scorching 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). (10 minutes)
06
StepPlace a 10-inch cast iron skillet over high heat until it is smoking hot. (5 minutes)
07
StepCarefully pour the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil into the smoking hot skillet, swirling to coat the bottom and sides evenly. The oil should shimmer and a wisp of smoke should rise from it. (1 minute)
08
StepQuickly pour the prepared batter into the hot skillet, being careful as it will sizzle. Immediately transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. (2 minutes)
09
StepBake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the farinata is beautifully browned and crusty around the edges. (30 minutes)
10
StepRemove the skillet from the oven and immediately transfer the farinata to a serving plate. Cut into wedges and garnish with freshly ground black pepper. Serve hot and enjoy! (5 minutes)
