Fainá is a nutty, peppery flatbread, related to the Italian flatbread farinata, made with garbanzo bean (chickpea) flour. The tradition of making garbanzo flour flatbread was brought to South America by Italian immigrants. It makes a great appetizer, especially with toppings. It's a gluten-free and vegan option to serve with dips or condiments

200 g garbanzo bean flour
500 ml water
¼ cup plus 3 tbsp olive oil
½ tsp salt

1). In a medium bowl, mix the garbanzo bean flour with the salt. Whisk in the water water until the mixture is well blended.
2). Set the batter aside for about at least 3 hours at room temperature to let the garbanzo flour absorb some of the water.

7). After 5 minutes place the pan on the to rack and bake for another 20 to 30 minutes until it's golden brown.
