Ingredients
1 cup water1 cup chickpea flour (also called besan or garbanzo)2 tablespoons plus 1 tsp olive oil1/2 teaspoon sea saltA few grinds ground black pepper9 kalamata olives, minced (optional, not calculated) 3 tablespoons. sun-dried tomatoes, minced (optional, not calculated)
Directions
Mixing takes just a few minutes. Letting batter sit for 1 hour accounts for estimated prep time.

1. In a mixing bowl, combine and whisk together water and chickpea flour until smooth. Add oil, sea salt, black pepper, (plus olives and tomatoes if using). Mix until well-blended. Cover and set aside at room temperature for 1 hour.

2. Preheat over to 425 degrees. Oil a 12-inch pizza pan or small cookie sheet and heat in over until hot. Carefully remove pan from oven and add batter. Spread evenly in pan. Bake until top is firm and edges are "golden brown", about 15 minutes. Cut into thin wedges or squares and serve immediately. Buon appetito!

    I made this 2xs. 1st time I used a quarter-sheet pan which was good. 2nd time I used a 10-inch cast-iron skillet and baked it 20 minutes, which gave it a crispier underside which I thought was better. Very easy & tasty with the olives and tomatoes, but can use 1 tsp. chopped fresh rosemary instead. - 10/7/09
