Socca is a naturally gluten-free flatbread made with chickpea flour. It’s common in the south of France, and parts of Italy (where it’s known as farinata). Here, we use it as a protein- and fiber-rich pizza base. Pair it with a tossed green salad for a simple meal for two.

Ingredients

Preparation

  1. In a medium bowl, mix chickpea flour, water, 1 Tbsp olive oil and salt. Set aside for 30 minutes.
  2. After 30 minutes, preheat oven to 450°F. Keep a 10-inch cast-iron skillet in the oven to heat up.
  3. When oven is preheated, use an oven mitt to remove the cast-iron skillet. Grease skillet with remaining 1 tsp olive oil. 
  4. Pour chickpea flour mixture into the hot skillet. 
  5. Place skillet back into oven. 
  6. Cook for around 8 minutes, until golden brown around the edges. 
  7. Remove skillet from oven. Spread marinara sauce over the socca, leaving a crust around the edge. Sprinkle cheese on top of the sauce. 
  8. Place back into oven for another 3 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbling. 
  9. Remove cast-iron pan from oven. Carefully remove socca pizza with a spatula and place onto a cutting board. Use a pizza knife to cut into 6 slices. 
  10. Optional: Add additional toppings like fresh basil, roasted mushrooms or shredded chicken.
