Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup chickpea flour (gram flour) Naturally gluten-free with a nutty flavor.
  • 1 cup water For batter consistency.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Adds moisture and crunch.
  • 1 teaspoon salt To season the flatbread.
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin Adds warm, earthy flavor.
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder Infuses savory undertones.
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika Provides smokiness and color.
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper Rounds out the flavors.
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice Adds freshness.
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped For garnish.
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped For flavor.
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder For airy texture.
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional) For topping.

Instructions

Preparation

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together chickpea flour, salt, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. Gradually add water while whisking continuously until lump-free. Stir in olive oil and lemon juice, then let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes.

Cooking

  • While the batter rests, heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with olive oil.
  • Stir baking powder into the rested batter. Pour a ladleful of batter into the pan, spreading it into a disk. Cook for 3-4 minutes until bubbles form and edges lift. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

Serving

  • Once all flatbreads are cooked, sprinkle them with parsley, rosemary, and sesame seeds. Serve warm with hummus, yogurt, or a salad.

Notes

To enhance flavor, consider adding spices like turmeric or coriander. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days or freeze for longer storage. Serve warm with dips or as a wrap.
