Gluten and dairy free chickpea flour flatbread recipe

I came across a great recipe for Chickpea flour flatbread recently. It's naturally gluten and dairy free, takes five minutes to prepare and is so adaptable.

You can get ground chickpea flour in some health food shops and Asian shops. (It's most commonly used as the batter in onion bhajis and pakoras commonly seen on menus in Indian restaurants. It can also be called besan, garbanzo bean flour or gram flour.

The basic bread recipe is as follows:

1 cup of chickpea flour
1 cup of water
3 tbsp of olive oil
1/2 tsp sea salt 
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup of finely chopped onion
2-3 cloves of garlic finely chopped

Mix them together in a food processor or a bowl and add your flavourings.

I've made two versions so far: fresh rosemary & olive, and also fresh coriander, lime & chilli flakes. Both came out really well, so you can adapt the bread to match whatever you're serving it with.

You can also use it as a pizza base, or make pancakes out of it!
