Tuesday, May 11, 2010 - 10:20 AM | posted by admin
INGREDIENTS
- 500 gr ceci (garbanzo) flour – about 4 cups

- 1 liter of water – about 4 cups
- 1 tsbp salt
- extra-virgin olive oil
- freshly-ground black pepper to taste
- In a large bowl, mix the flour and slowly add the water with a wooden spoon making sure to mix well so you don’t have any lumps. Add the salt. The mixture should be very smooth.
- If you have the time, cover and let the mixture rest for at least 4 hours or overnight. Remove any foam that has formed at the top and mix again.
- Heat oven to 200° C (400° F).
- You’ll need a large pan with low borders, like those used for rectangle-shaped pizzas. Pour a small cup of olive oil into pan, enough to cover the bottom. Add the mixture, making sure it is pretty low – the cecina has to be no higher than ½ cm (about ¼ inch) high, so if your pan is not wide enough to make it like this, bake two separate batches. » Read more…
