How to Make Socca

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, water, olive oil, salt, and pepper until smooth. Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator). This allows the flour to fully hydrate, resulting in a better texture.
  3. Generously grease a 10-12 inch cast iron skillet or oven-safe pan with olive oil.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly to about ¼ inch thickness.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set but still slightly soft.
  6. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Socca warm, perhaps with a simple salad or as a side to your favorite meal!
