Whisk the chickpea flour, water, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Rest the batter for 20 minutes.
Heat a cast iron pan in a 220°C oven.
Pour olive oil into the pan and spread the batter in a thin layer.
Bake for 25 to 28 minutes, until the top is browned.
Serve hot in triangular slices.
💡 Tip: Preheating the pan makes the bottom of the faina crisp and reduces sticking.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve with pizza or on its own with peppery olive oil.
