Farinata (Italian Flatbread) image

Farinata is a gluten-free Italian flatbread made with chickpea flour that is very easy to make. I'm sure this recipe will become part of your regular repertoire. I have added some spring onions and garlic for a more gourmet version of the simple farinata.

This farinata recipe was a delightful success! The flatbread turned out crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, with a wonderful nutty flavor. I added a sprinkle of rosemary and sea salt before baking, which gave it an extra layer of flavor.
