I do believe it was my gorgeous bloggy friend Lisa from The Raw Serenity who first told me about socca pizza crust when she commented on my Blue Moon Mexican Pizza many blue moons ago.

I was so excited to read about it on Wiki, who knows why it took me so long to try it, but let’s just rejoice in the fact that it’s finally in my life, WHOOHOO!

This is no heavy, gluten-free pizza base, baby!  An absolute cinch to make, and melt-in-your-mouth amazing, I haven’t bought a pizza base since.

I’m so inspired to try it in so many ways in the future (crêpes? crackers?) but for now I just can’t stop making pizza!

Viva la socca pizza!  xx

    Hello! Question: how “shallow” should the bakeware be, approximately? Thank you!

      Hi Amber! The bakeware can be as shallow or as deep as you like, really, because you pour the mixture in. The dishes I used are probably an inch deep and I poured about half an inch of mixture into the bottom of each. If you pour more in, you’ll have a thicker, ‘deep pan’ base and might just need to bake for a little longer. 🙂

    I can’t wait to make these but haven’t found a store that stocks the chic-pea flour (I’ve tried a couple of health food shops). Do you know a store (northern suburbs)? Thanks!

      Hi Sarah, I’m not sure if you’re in Perth but I get this one from Farmer Jacks in Claremont or Subiaco. Perhaps there’s one in the Northern suburbs that stocks it as well? x
