Dr Oz Chickpea Flour Flatbread Food

CAULIFLOWER-CHICKPEA FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
• Heat 1/2 cup olive oil in large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Add the 2 crushed garlic cloves, cauliflower and shallot and cook, stirring often, until the cauliflower begins to soften and the shallots begin to caramelize slightly, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the chickpeas and continue to cook, stirring often, until everything is well combined and the chickpeas are heated through but still hold their shape, another 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Brush a rimmed baking sheet with 3 tablespoons olive oil. Gently stretch the pizza dough to fit the pan. (If the dough shrinks back, let it rest a few more minutes before stretching again.)
• Spoon the cauliflower mixture evenly over the dough.
• Bake until the crust is golden brown and the cauliflower is browned in some spots, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, slice the jalapeno in half crosswise and remove the seeds if you'd like less heat. Roughly chop the bottom half and thinly slice the top half into rounds.
• Combine the chopped garlic clove, chopped jalapeno, cilantro, lemon juice, remaining 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt and few grinds black pepper in a blender and puree until smooth. (If necessary, stop the blender and scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula to help everything blend.)
• Transfer the flatbread to a cutting board and drizzle with the cilantro sauce. Top with the jalapeno rounds, a squeeze of extra lemon juice and a pinch of flaky salt.

CHICKPEA FLATBREADS WITH BURST TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Place a rack in top third of oven; preheat to 450°F. Whisk chickpea flour, 2 Tbsp. oil, 1 tsp. salt, and 1 cup water in a medium bowl or large measuring cup until combined. Let sit at least 10 minutes and up to 1 hour to let flour hydrate.
• Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a 12" cast-iron skillet over high until shimmering. Pour in exactly half (3/4 cup) of the chickpea batter and tilt to evenly coat skillet. Transfer to oven and bake flatbread until edges are golden brown, 8-10 minutes. Using a large spatula, transfer flatbread to a wire rack. Repeat with remaining batter.
• Meanwhile, cook tomatoes, garlic, 1/4 cup oil, and remaining 1/2 tsp. salt in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes begin to burst, 4-5 minutes. Stir in chickpeas, oregano, vinegar, and paprika (if using). Reduce heat to medium and continue to cook, stirring often, until tomatoes have burst more into a fully formed sauce, 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in butter.
• Slice flatbreads in half. Serve with tomato-chickpea mixture, feta, greens, and lemon wedges alongside for squeezing and oil for drizzling.

DR. OZ. CHICKPEA FLOUR FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients to form a smooth batter and set aside to rest for about 30 minutes.
• On a medium-high temperature, pour 1/4 -1/3 cup of the batter onto an oiled pan. Cook both sides evenly, flipping them with caution. Repeat the same procedure for the rest of the batter, adding oil to the pan when necessary. Serve with desired filling, or eat plain.

SOFT WRAP FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Place 2 cups of the flour into a bowl or the bucket of a bread machine.
• Pour the boiling water over the flour and stir until smooth.
• Cover and set mixture aside for 30 minutes.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the potato flakes, remaining 1 cup flour, salt, oil and yeast.
• Add this to the cooled flour/water mixture, stir, and knead for several minutes (by hand, mixer or bread machine) until it forms a soft dough.
• If using a bread machine, it is not necessary to let it knead the full cycle--about 5 minutes after it gets up to full speed is enough, but the full knead cycle will not hurt it.
• The dough should form a ball that is somewhat sticky.
• If kneading by hand, keep your hands and work surface lightly oiled.
• Let the dough rise, covered, for 1 hour.
• Divide dough into 8 equal pieces, about 3 ounces each, cover and let rest for 15 to 30 minutes.
• Roll each dough portion into a 7" or 8" circle.
• Dry-fry (fry without oil) over medium heat for about 1 minute per side, until puffed and flecked with brown spots.
• Adjust the heat if they seem to be cooking either too quickly or too slowly--cooking too quickly means they may be raw in the center, while too slowly will dry them out.
• Transfer the cooked breads to a wire rack, stacking them to keep them soft.
• Serve immediately, or cool slightly and then store or freeze in plastic bag.

SOCCA (FARINATA)

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 450. Put a well-seasoned or nonstick 12-inch pizza pan or cast-iron skillet in oven. (If you have a socca pan, obviously that will work well also.)
• Put the chickpea flour in a bowl; add the salt and pepper. Slowly add 1 cup lukewarm water, whisking to eliminate lumps. Stir in 2 tablespoons olive oil. Cover and let sit while the oven heats, or for as long as 12 hours. The batter should be about the consistency of heavy cream.
• Remove the pan, pour 2 tablespoons of the oil into it and swirl. Add the onions return the pan to the oven and cook, stirring once or twice, until they're well browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the rosemary. Stir the onions and rosemary into the batter, then immediately pour the batter into the pan. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the pancake is firm and the edges set.
• Heat the broiler and brush the top of the pancake with 1 or 2 tablespoons of oil if it looks dry. Set the pancake a few inches away from the broiler, and cook just long enough to brown it in spots. Cut it into wedges, and serve hot or warm.
