Ingredients

  • 2 cups Wheat flour, white, multi-purpose

  • 6 dl Water

  • 1 teaspoon Salt, table

  • 5 spoon Oil, olive

  • 1 pinch Spices, pepper, black

  • 1 piece Onion, raw

Steps

  1. Pour lukewarm water into a large bowl, slowly whisk in the chickpea flour. Add salt and mix everything well to obtain a smooth mixture without lumps. Cover the bowl with a cloth and let the batter rest overnight at room temperature.

  2. The next day, preheat the oven to 220 degrees Celsius. Place a larger pan on the stove and pour in a little oil. Peel and chop one onion. Add the onion to the heated oil and sauté until it becomes translucent.

  3. Uncover the bowl and skim off the top layer that formed overnight. Mix the remaining oil into the batter. Lightly season and pour the mixture into a baking dish. Sprinkle the sautéed onion on top. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, then let the dish cool, cut into smaller pieces, and serve.
