Instructions

Step 1

Sieve the gram flour into a large mixing bowl and then pour in the warm water. Whisk thoroughly and then cover the bowl with a clean tea towel and set aside to ferment for a minimum of two hours but ideally overnight.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 210°C (fan)/410ºF/Gas Mark 6-7. You can be prepping the rest of the ingredients now if you wish.

Step 3

When the batter is ready, remove any foam that has formed on top of the batter and then stir in the olive oil, salt, black pepper and fresh herbs.

Step 4

Line the bottom of a baking tray (approx 15″ x 11″) with a good layer of olive oil so it forms a thin coating. Heat in the oven for a few minutes until smoking hot.

Step 5

When the oil is hot enough, remove the tray from the oven and pour in the batter. Then add your filling ingredients so they are evenly distributed.

Step 6

Bake in the oven until golden brown on top, approximately 15-20 minutes (don’t overcook it or it will get rubbery).

Step 7

Let it cool slightly then cut into triangles or squares and serve with a nice fresh salad.
