Socca pizza is a gluten-free and naturally vegan alternative to traditional pizza, made with a simple chickpea flour crust that’s high in protein and fiber. It’s crispy, flavorful, and perfect for loading with your favorite toppings.

Ingredients

1 ¼ cup chickpea flour (150 g)

3 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil, divided

1 ¼ cup warm water

¼ tsp kosher salt

¼ tsp black pepper

Optional: ¼ tsp garlic powder

Optional: 1 tsp dried herbs

Pizza sauce, tomato sauce, or nomato sauce

Fresh sliced veggies (zucchini, mushrooms, bell peppers, etc.)

Non-dairy shredded cheese or cheese of choice

Fresh basil for garnish

Optional proteins: uncured turkey pepperoni, cooked diced or shredded chicken, or crumbled BBQ tempeh

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together chickpea flour, warm water, 2 tbsp oil, salt, pepper, and optional seasonings until smooth. Let batter rest for 20–30 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C) and place an oven-safe skillet or baking pan inside to heat.
  3. Once hot, swirl in the remaining 1 tbsp oil, then pour in batter, spreading evenly. Bake for 12–15 minutes until golden and set.
  4. Remove crust, spread pizza sauce, and add toppings such as veggies, cheese, and protein if using.
  5. Bake another 8–10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Garnish with fresh basil, slice, and serve.

Notes

Letting the batter rest helps it thicken and ensures even cooking.

Make ahead by baking the crust in advance, then topping and reheating later.

For a crispier crust, avoid overloading with wet toppings.

Freeze baked crusts wrapped tightly for future use.

Try flavor variations such as Mediterranean toppings or BBQ sauce as the base.
