Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 450°F (230°C). If using a 12-inch oven-safe skillet, place it in the oven while it preheats.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, 1/2 tsp salt, garlic powder, and dried oregano. Add the warm water and 2 tbsp of the olive oil and whisk until smooth with no lumps — the batter will be thin and pourable, similar to a crepe batter. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes so the chickpea flour fully hydrates.
