Socca (aka chickpea bread)

 

 ve, df, gf 

1 cup chickpea flour (4 1/2 ounces)

1 cup water

1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the pan and drizzling

1/2 teaspoon salt

herbs and spices: be experimental, I used 1/2 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp paprika and lots of fresh rosemary from my garden.

 

method

Whisk the chickpea flour, water, olive oil, salt and herbs together in a medium bowl until smooth. Let rest for 30 minutes to give the flour time to absorb the water.

Preheat the oven to 200C. Preheat either a cast iron skillet or a baking tray (either works, one you get round bread, one rectangular!) for 5 minutes before you are ready to cook the bread.

Coat the bottom of the pan with some oil then add the batter mix.

Cook for 8 minutes and for the final 3 - 5 minutes turn to grill and grill till golden brown.

Cut into which ever shape you fancy and either serve alone, with curries, or with a homemade dip such as hummus :)
