For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a clove of minced garlic or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the batter. Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices to customize the flavor profile to your liking. Thyme, oregano, or even a touch of lemon zest would be delicious additions. If you don't have an 8-inch pie pan, you can use a similar-sized baking dish. Just be sure to adjust the baking time accordingly. This chickpea bread is best enjoyed fresh. However, you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently before serving.

02
Step
5 mins
Cover the bowl and let the batter rest at room temperature for at least 2 hours, or up to 6 hours. This allows the chickpea flour to fully hydrate and develop its flavor. (2-6 hours)

Step
15 mins
Gently skim off any foam that has formed on the surface of the chickpea mixture. (1 minute)
05
Step
10 mins
Add the extra virgin olive oil, Italian seasoning, and dried rosemary to the batter. Stir well to combine, ensuring the herbs are evenly distributed. (2 minutes)
06
StepPour the chickpea mixture into the prepared pie pan. Sprinkle the top with freshly ground black pepper and sea salt. (1 minute)
07
StepBake in the preheated oven for approximately 15 minutes, or until the edges of the bread begin to turn golden brown and the center is set. (15 minutes)
