farinata

Socca (aka farinata) is a simple, savory, gluten-free and grain-free flatbread that pairs well with soups, salads, or eaten alone!

SOCCA (FARINATA)

chickpea flour (white garbanzo bean flour)

water

salt

olive oil*

cumin

rosemary

red pepper flakes

basil

cracked pepper

garlic powder

shallots

Mix and let rest: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add flour, water, oil, and salt. Whisk until smooth, cover, and let set for at least 15 minutes, up to 12 hours, covered, on the counter or overnight in the fridge.

Preheat: Heat oven to 450 degrees F. Place a well-seasoned skillet on the middle rack while the oven is heating (we want it to get nice and hot).

Oil skillet + pour batter: Once oven is ready, carefully remove skillet, add 1 &#8211; 2 tablespoons oil, and twirl the skillet so the oil coats the bottom evenly. Pour the batter into the skillet.

Bake: Place the skillet in the oven and return it to the oven for 12 &#8211; 15 minutes, until golden on the edges and firm throughout.

Optional broiler: Once done you may like to add a more golden and rustic look, turn broiler to high, place skillet under broiler for about 2 minutes, until top starts to golden a bit.

Cool &amp; remove: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Using a spatula gently push under and around the sides of the flatbread. Tip skillet to remove socca bread or carefully flip skillet over to remove.

Serve: Cut into 4 &#8211; 8 slices or pull apart and eat. Socca is best eaten right away.

Store

Socca can be stored on the counter in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

This was so simple and easy! Thank you so much for the recipe, it's a keeper!

I was so shocked by how well this turned out. I had little hope when I saw how runny the batter was when I first mixed it. But this is AMAZING and amazingly easy. Even my husband liked it!

Really good - like the interior of falafel.  Very easy to make!

I have made this a few times and it always turns out great. I make it on a large cast iron skillet because I like it crispy. Great to serve as an appetizer to guests or for a gluten free option. Yum!!

Perfect result with cast iron skillet. Thanks.

It was delicious! I made a gluten free veggie pizza using this flatbread recipe! The only thing is, I used 3/4 oat flour + 1/4 chickpea flour (due to potassium restriction!). However, it came out just as delicious and creamy! Thank you 😊

Italian Chickpea Flour Pancakes, known as Farinata, is a classic Italian street food recipe similar to flatbread. This is great served as an appetizer or along with a green salad for dinner.

Italian Chickpea Pancakes (Farinata)

chickpea flour ((316 grams))

kosher salt ((plus

black pepper

olive oil

green onions

In a large bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, water, salt, and pepper until well combined and smooth. Whisk in the oil and let the batter sit at room temperature uncovered for about an hour.

Position your oven rack about 5-6 inches from the broiler and then preheat oven to 450 degrees. Oil a 12-inch cast iron skillet. (Alternatively, you can make this in an oiled quarter sheet pan.)

Mix the batter with a rubber spatula and then pour the batter into your prepared pan.

Bake for about 5 minutes, or until the chickpea pancake begins to set. Then, turn on the broiler and cook until the top of pancake is lightly browned, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle with sliced green onions and kosher salt. Carefully cut into slices and serve warm.

It's delicious.
I'll cook the batter in a frying pan as a savoury breakfast pancake or bake it in the oven with.chopped veg in it (onions, red pepper, courgette, whatever) as a non egg frittata.
