How to Use
For savory pancakes and flatbreads, whisk Bob's Red Mill Chickpea Flour with water, salt, olive oil, and herbs and let the batter rest before cooking. For baking, combine it with other gluten-free flours for the best texture. If a recipe calls for raw chickpea flour, toast it briefly in a dry pan first to soften its raw bean flavor. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
