What is Socca?
Socca is a flatbread made from chickpea flour and its exact origin is hotly debated. Some claim it originated in the region that is now Nice, France. While others claim it was invented in Genoa, Italy (where it’s called farinata) or Marsielle, France (where it’s called panisse). Still other versions can be found in Sardinia, Gibraltar, Algeria, and Argentina (source).
How to Make Socca Pizza
This recipe requires just 10 ingredients and 1 bowl to make and comes together in about 1 hour. The reason I love this recipe so much is it’s like eating pizza but without all the bread and grains. That’s right, it’s grain-free! It starts with socca batter infused with garlic and nutritional yeast for flavor (oregano is optional!). Baking powder provides a little rise, but not so much that the edges don’t get browned and a little crisp. For toppings, we went with red onion, sun-dried tomatoes, vegan macadamia nut cheese, and vegan pesto. But really, whatever you have on hand will work! We hope you LOVE this pizza!
