A beautifully simple flatbread made entirely from chickpea flour — nutty, golden and naturally gluten-free. The dough comes together in minutes, rests in the fridge to develop flavor, then bakes into thin, crisp rounds with a delicate crackle and a warm, earthy taste. Serve them alongside a spread, tear them into a soup, or enjoy them on their own with a drizzle of good olive oil.
