Socca Bread (Chickpea Flatbread)
Catherine Barclay
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.

Cuisine French
- 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.
