Chickpea Flour Bread

Chickpea flour, also called garbanzo flour, is known in Indian and Pakistani baking as gram or besum, and used for naan and chapatis. It is also used extensively in Greek baking, especially on Crete, where a bread called eptazymo is made from ground toasted chickpeas. Chickpea flour is not usually used in yeast breads in America, but one taste of this bread will change that. Chickpea flour is enticingly sweet, flavorful flour ground from lightly toasted green chickpeas.
