Shall we learn how to do it?

Ingredients:

• 2 cups cooked chickpeas;
• 1 cup chickpea flour;
• 1/2 cup olive oil;
• 2 eggs;
• 1 tablespoon baking powder;
• 1 teaspoon of salt;
• 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar (optional).

Method of preparation:

Before starting to prepare the recipe, it is important that the chickpeas are well cooked. If you purchased dried chickpeas, soak them in water for at least 8 hours before cooking them. Once cooked, drain the water and let it cool.

In a food processor, place the chickpeas, olive oil, eggs and salt. Process until you get a homogeneous mass. Then add chickpea flour and baking powder. Process again until all ingredients are well mixed. If you want a slightly sweeter bread, you can add honey or brown sugar at this point.

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Grease a loaf pan with a little oil and pour the bread dough into the pan. Use a spatula to smooth the surface of the bread. Bake the bread for about 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean.

Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then remove the bread from the tin and let it cool completely on a wire rack. Chickpea bread is delicious when served with butter, cheese or jam. It can also be used to make sandwiches.

Tips:

If you want a fluffier bread, you can add a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar to the dough. Apple cider vinegar helps to activate the yeast, causing the bread to rise more.

If you don't have a food processor, you can use a blender. However, you will need to beat the dough in batches as the blender may struggle to process all the ingredients at once.

Chickpea bread can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days. If you want, you can slice the bread and freeze it. That way, you'll always have delicious, healthy bread on hand.

I hope you enjoyed this chickpea bread recipe. He is a perfect option for those who are looking for a gluten-free bread, but don't want to give up the flavor. Plus, it's a delicious way to include more legumes in your diet. Bon appetit!
