If you’re looking for a naturally gluten-free, protein-packed flatbread that’s as simple as it is flavorful, then this Socca recipe is just what you need!
Make the Batter. In a bowl, whisk together 1 cup chickpea flour, 1 cup water, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and ½ teaspoon salt until smooth. Let the batter rest for at least 20 minutes (or up to 2 hours) to hydrate fully.
Preheat the Pan. Place a cast-iron skillet or baking dish in the oven and preheat to 450°F. Heating the pan ensures a crisp base.
Bake the Socca. Carefully remove the hot pan, drizzle with olive oil, and pour in the batter. Spread evenly, then bake for 12–15 minutes until golden brown with crisp edges.
Finish Under the Broiler. For extra crispness, place under the broiler for 2–3 minutes.
Serve. Cut into wedges, sprinkle with black pepper, and serve hot.
