- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tbsp Superb Herb thyme or herb of your choice eg. parsley,rosemary, sage or mix, chopped
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together chickpea flour, water, olive oil, salt, and your chosen herbs. Let it rest for 30 minutes while you preheat your oven to 230°C and place a cast iron skillet inside.
