FAINA is a new thing i learned in argentina. its sold at pizza joints. its like a pizza crust from garbanzo flour.
here it is.
________________________________________________________
1~ 2Cups garbanzo flour
1~ 3Cups water(NOT hot water)
1~ 1t salt
and any other herbs, spices, fruits or vegetables you want
1~mix or blend flour, water, and salt and let sit 2-3 hours at least(can be over night).
2~heat oven on high broil for like 10 minutes with 12 inch oiled iron skillet.(can use other pans but you need to figure it out)
3~set oven temp to 550. pull pan out. pour faina liquid in pan. drizzle a tablespoon or so of olive oil and drop on any herbs or chopped veg you want. give it a little whirl or stir. set back in oven for 10-30 minutes. until starts to brown on top.
you will have to figure the best for your pan and oven set up. my skillet takes 20-25 minute and the faina turns out pretty thick(about 1/2-3/4 inch). usually its about 1/4 inch in pizza restaurants.
sorry for the vagueness of this recipe but you will figure it out.
you can reheat with tomato sauce and more olive oil. you can do a lot with it. have fun.
below is how it looks when finished. may look a little lighter in the oven. this is one batch and about 2 cups sauteed veggies distributed between one 12 inch pan and one 9 inch at 550 for 20 minutes. the thickness came out perfect(about 3/8 inch).
here it is.
