Success.
Basically, you want at least a 1:1 ratio for the water and chickpea flour, and then olive oil till it seems right.
I did 2 cups warm water, 2 1/2 cups chickpea flour, about 3 TBS olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic, and a little cumin. Let the batter rest for a bit, and then pour it into a pan with rather a lot of olive oil in the bottom and bake it. I tried it at 400° until the top was solid, first. It was done all the way through, but it broke when I tried to take it out.
I am trying the second batch at 275° for more like half an hour and we'll see.
It is really delicious.
However, in the course of baking things for lunch, my blood sugar ended up dropping, and because I was eating cecina and pesto ham and drinking unsweetened iced tea, it just wasn't rising (protein and complex carbs really don't break down fast enough to avert Blood Sugar Crisis) I ended up eating a spoon of honey. :P I hate having to do that. I mean, it hits fast, but...ugh.
Wu ate a green olive and pronounced it Food.
