chickpea flour bread

  • CECINA!
  •  ceci (garbanzo) flour - about 4 cups
  • water - about 4 cups
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • extra-virgin olive oil
  • freshly-ground black pepper to taste
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Heat oven to 400° F.
  4. 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.
  5. Bake in the hot oven until the cecina has a golden crust all over, about 30 minutes.
  6. Grind lots of fresh black pepper on top of the cecina as soon as it comes out of the oven, cut into slices and enjoy!

.5 cup Vegetable Oil
2 tbsp. Milk or soy milk

1. Mix all crust ingredients and spread out in pie tin.
2. Bake for 15 minutes at 400 degrees.
3. After crust comes out, preheat oven to 350 degrees.
4. While the crust is baking: over medium-low heat melt butter in a large saucepan. Add onions, garlic and broccoli. Cook slowly, stirring occasionally until the vegetables are soft. 
5. Combine eggs and milk. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in melted butter.

7. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, or until center has set.

*Note about the flour: I have been using 1/2 barley and 1/2 rice. That sticks together better. I have also tried using some buckwheat flour which tastes good, but totally different. Yes, buckwheat is wheat free.
