Socca is a simple, gluten-free flatbread from the south of France, made with chickpea flour. Easy to prepare, it works wonderfully as a pizza base, pancakes, pita bread, or cut into wedges for dipping. Socca offers a deliciously crisp texture and a subtle, nutty flavour—perfect for a variety of savoury dishes.

- 1 cup chickpea flour
- 1 cup water
- ¼ tsp onion powder
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- Add the chickpea flour, powders and herbs to a mixing bowl. 
- Add water gradually and whisk well.  
- Let the batter sit for 10 minutes while heat the non stick frying pan. 
- Once frying pan is hot, pour in half the batter, use a spatula to spread mix to your desired thickness. 
- Just like a pancake flip when the edge looks cooked and a few bubbles appear on the service.  Test by carefully lifting one the edges, the batter should lift easily. 
- Flip and cook other side for another three to four minutes. 
- Remove from heat to a bread board and add your desired toppings before heating for around 8 minutes in a pizza cooker or kitchen oven.
