In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, salt, and black pepper until no lumps remain.

Gradually pour in the lukewarm water and one tablespoon of the extra-virgin olive oil, whisking constantly to create a smooth, thin batter.

Stir in the chopped fresh rosemary and minced garlic, then cover the bowl and let the batter rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit and place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet inside to heat up.

Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven, pour the remaining two tablespoons of olive oil into it, and swirl to coat the bottom and sides.

Pour the rested batter into the hot skillet, ensuring it spreads evenly to the edges.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the top is set and the edges are deeply golden brown and crispy.

Slice the hot fainá into wedges and serve immediately with an extra sprinkle of black pepper or alongside pizza.
