I\u2019ve been making socca, a type of chickpea flatbread, to go with my ratatouille for years, but I never thought to use it as a pizza crust until I had it for dinner while traveling in New York.<\/p>\n

I came home and started playing with my socca recipe until I had the perfect crust. My husband is the pizza fan in our house, and he says this is one of the best crusts he\u2019s ever had. To make socca pizzas, you\u2019ll need a hot oven and a cast iron skillet. My skillet is 12 inches, but you can most certainly make the socca in a smaller pan. (My friend and recipe tester Cara, from Cara\u2019s Cravings<\/a> gave me a heads-up about pan size: A 9-inch pan has about half the surface area of a 12-inch pan, so if you use a smaller skillet, cut the batter recipe in half and adjust the cooking time accordingly.)<\/p>\n

I also use a pizza stone to fnish the crust on\u2014this makes it much crispier. If you have one, great. If not, this will still be a delicious dish. Socca can be topped with almost anything.<\/p>\n

To make a socca pizza, first make your batter, then your socca pizza of choice.\u00a0 In this recipe, using pesto as the sauce is not only delicious, it makes the dish so quick and simple. I like to cut this pizza into small wedges and serve it as an appetizer at parties. egg-free.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
