Olive Chickpea Flour Bread Recipes

Steps:

• FLATBREAD: Gently heat rosemary or thyme in olive oil for 2 minutes on very low heat. Set aside to cool for 2-3 minutes. Mix both flours with salt and pepper. Add water to flour mix and beat with a whisk till smooth. Beat in herb-infused olive oil. Allow batter to sit for 20 minutes. Heat a heavy cast iron skillet on medium-high heat. Oil lightly. Pour about 1/4 cup batter into skillet, tipping it so batter thins out into about a 6-inch circle. Cook for about 30 seconds until crepe is golden brown on bottom; then flip it over with a spatula and cook 10-15 seconds more. Remove crepe to plate and keep covered. Repeat.
• TAPENADE: In a food processor, combine garlic, capers and olives. Puree until smooth. Add thyme, savory and lemon juice. Season with pepper. Continue to puree while slowly adding olive oil. Stop when you have formed a smooth, spreadable paste.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Roughly chop both the black olives and pimiento-stuffed green olives. Slice the green onions into thin pieces.
• Combine the butter, mayonnaise, cheese, olives and green onions in a mixing bowl. Stir together until thoroughly combined.
• Spread the mixture onto the French bread. Bake until the cheese is melted and browning, 20 to 25 minutes.
