Chickpea flour flatbreads, with only two ingredients, water and chickpea flour. How many times have you run out of bread and didn’t feel like going out, so preparing flatbreads will be the simplest and easiest thing to improvise something tasty and gluten-free. So they are good for everyone, besides not containing gluten, and we mentioned that, they contain more proteins and fibers and have fewer calories than the classic flours because they provide a longer-lasting feeling of fullness. Surely these advantages make them more loved, especially by those who adore healthy diets and athletes in general. Let’s not forget the important source of vitamins contained in this precious legume like zinc, magnesium, vitamins of group B, A, and K, calcium, iron, and phosphorus.

My name is Pina, and my passion is food and cooking in general. On the blog, I focus on regional dishes like those from my birthplace, Sicily. I also feature dishes from Lazio, the region that has hosted me for over 40 years, but in general, I cover all Italian regions. Traveling and exploring is my second passion, so I couldn't leave out dishes from around the "World" on my blog. My blog is divided into simple and essential sections like appetizers, first courses, main courses, side dishes, bread and leavened products, jams and preserves, wines and wineries, and of course, travels. Desserts are included, and finally, there is a dedicated corner for gluten-free options. Easy recipes, explained step by step and always updated.
