Socca Pizza / Chickpea Pizza / Farinata

Step 1

Mix together well the chickpea flour, warm water, garlic powder and baking powder. For best results, cover and leave to rest for thirty minutes. You can skip this step if pushed for time.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 200°C/390°F and mix in the olive oil with the wet mix and a pinch of salt.

Step 3

Place parchment paper onto a tray. Lightly coat the parchment with olive oil. Pour in the mix. Let it bake for about 8 minutes until it has started to slightly firm.

Step 4

Thinly slice the red onion and prepare the cheese, olives and sweetcorn.

Step 5

Remove the pizza base from the oven and spread the tomato paste over it sprinkle the dried oregano over it.

Step 6

Layer the other ingredients on top, including basil or favourite herbs – except the arugula/rocket, which we rinse and drain now.

Step 7

Cook for about another 12 minutes. When everything looks ready and the cheese has melted – pizza is ready! Remove from oven and garnish with arugula/rocket.

Step 8

Done. Enjoy!
