Chickpea Flour Bread

The chickpea flour bread is a rustic and aromatic alternative to traditional bread, naturally rich in protein and with a slightly nutty taste.

If you make this bread, do not expect the classic, light, airy texture that comes from white or whole grain flours.

Chickpea flour gives a compact yet soft crumb and a golden, crispy crust.

Perfect for those seeking a nutritious bread different from the usual, it is excellent on its own or accompanied by vegetables, cheeses, or hummus.

Ideal for savory breakfasts, aperitifs, or as a base for bruschettas with a strong flavor.

Hello, I'm Simona, and my page is called BriCciola in cucina, because I dedicated it to my mom and dad, who have called me that since I was little. I'm not a chef, and in my life, I've always dealt with completely different things, but cooking, along with dancing, has always been one of my great passions. However, my greatest inspiration came from the dishes prepared first by my grandmother and now by my mom. Here on my cooking blog, I'll guide you from appetizers to desserts, with recipes designed for a healthy and mindful lifestyle. Balanced dishes, carefully chosen ingredients, and lots of flavors, because eating well never means giving up pleasure. I love eating, but I also like taking care of my health, my family's health, and, in a way, the health of everyone who tries my recipes. That's why daily life should be rich in flavor, but always with a focus on healthy eating. Thank you, I look forward to seeing you.
