Steps
- 1
Pour all the chestnut flour into a mixing bowl. Slowly add the water, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Add a pinch of salt and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- 2
Mix vigorously, add half the raisins, and let the batter rest covered for at least 30 minutes, or you can prepare it a few hours ahead.
- 3
When ready to bake, pour the batter into a greased 12x9-inch (30x22 cm) baking pan. Using this size pan ensures the right thickness for the best texture—if it’s too thin or too thick, it won’t be as soft.
- 4
Sprinkle your choice of nuts and the remaining raisins on top, drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil, and bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 25–30 minutes, depending on your oven. The surface should start to crack but the inside should stay soft.
- 5
Enjoy it slightly warm as is, or top with a spoonful of ricotta for an extra treat!
