Socca Pizza For Mother's Day |
***Caitlin posted on my seasonal food challenge on Friday if your interested on an update.***
This weekend went by extremely quickly. We spent an incredible weekend with our friends just being crazy and having fun. Saturday was free comic book day, so the studio the illustrator is in spent the day at a local comic book shop. All the spouses and kids came too. It was beautiful outside so we hung out the whole time outside chatting. Then we made our way to where the evening festivities took place. We didn't get home until 3:30am...YIKES! Did I mention I'm getting too old for that? It always seems like a good idea at the time, but the next day ya kind of regret that decision. I'm always the designated driver (by choice), so I loaded up on some coffee at the end of the night. I was surprised, but I was actually pretty awake at that time. It was such a great night!
Since I drove some of our out of town friends from the party spot to our house, we had brunch back over at the party house Sunday morning. There was a feast of amazingness served up and then we all went our separate ways. I spent the entire weekend hanging with my men and friends...it was an incredible weekend!
Last night, since it was my night, I really wanted pizza. So, in an effort to make things easier, I decided on socca pizza. I realized, I never share my version of socca on here or how I make easy individual flatbread pizzas. This comes together in literally 20 minutes and it's so good!
If you love super thin crust pizza, you'll love this! I bake them individually in my 9 inch bread pans. This makes it really easy to make multiple flavors or just one. These freeze amazingly well too so you can really have pizza anytime. I also ate one toasted up with nothing on it last night. In my opinion, there's nothing the chickpea can't do.
Socca Flatbread
(makes one)
1/2 cup chickpea (garbanzo bean) flour (I used Bob's Red Mill)
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp garlic powder (optional)
1/8 tsp pepper
1/2 cup warm water
Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.
Mix all the ingredients together and pour into a 9 inch bread pan coated with olive oil (I use the olive oil spray). Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from pan.
To make them into pizza, take them out of the pans, place on a baking sheet (I lined mine with parchment). Put toppings on the socca. Bake for 10 minutes or until the toppings are done to your liking.
This week is going to be crazy! I hope everyone has a great one!

I've never had socca anything before. This pizza looks delicious!
Happy belated Mother's Day Sarena :)
-
I've wondered about making sans oil and also about baking on a cookie sheet perhaps rather than having to start in a skillet like I've been doing. Yours looks awesome. I hope you had a nice weekend!
-
Sounds like a fun weekend! And I hope yesterday was a wonderful holiday for you- you deserve it! :)
Happy Monday!
-
I keep forgetting to make socca. Everytime I have it, I love it, but I go months without making it!!
Happy Mothers day! :)
-
Sounds like a fun weekend. I always regret those late, late evenings too. I only have them about once a year. I'm most definitely not the designated driver. That's what cabs are for ;)
-
3:30am is way too late for me too!
Your pizzas look delicious!
-
I'd never make it to 3:30 these days. I'm an old lady. :) Sounds like a great time, though!! Happy late Mothers Day, Sarena!!
-
This reminds me I've had an unopened bag of chickpea flour in my pantry for the past 4 months. Ugh, definitely need to get a move on that!
-
Wow! That is a late night. But how cool to enjoy time like that together. :)
Hope you had a GREAT mother's day!
-
Yummy :) I've been wanting to try socca pizza but I wasn't sure. Hope you had a great day.
-
Pizza looks so delicious. I actually picked up garbanzo bean flour to use it to make a pizza dough. Haven't come across a recipe I like until now. I hope my boyfriend likes it too!
Yesterday (Sunday), I busted out 2 vegan recipes on him and he said they were okay.. At least he ate them. LOL
-
Yay, I'm so glad that you had a good weekend, Sarena. Happy Belated Mother's Day!!
-
What an awesome weekend, you "teenager" you! ;-) Glad you had a wonderful MD and OMG on the pizza! MUST get chickpea flour immediately! I know I'll love using it as I adore chickpeas. And both hubby and I will like the pizza--gorgeously delicious! :-)

I have a bag of chickpea flower that I've been looking for an inspiration to use. This is a great idea!
-

YUM!!! What an AMAZING Pizza Crust!! :)

I definitely learned I'm too old to party like a rockstar anymore! Thanks for the great fun! The pizza looks amazing!
-
Happy Mother's Day Sarena! Socca pizza is always delicious -- and yours look especially so!
-
Happy mother's day, Sarena!! I'm glad you had a wonderful weekend :] I thoroughly enjoyed your post on seasonal eating, too. I think that is something I would really enjoy (er...maybe not so much at times, like when I just want a darn sweet potato...) trying this spring/summer/fall. I'll have to do my research on it!
-
Sounds like a great weekend!! Happy mother's day! And I've really got to hop on this socca bandwagon - love the pizza idea!
-
sounded like an amazing weekend! glad you had a wonderful mothers day!
-
I LOVE making Socca Pizza! It is so easy and inexpensive compared with most GF pizza crusts!
-
Thanks for the recipe! I've made many soccas but have yet to perfect it. Yours looks like a perfect crispy thin crust pizza! Well done!
-
This looks delicious! I will definitely have to try this soon! :)
-
That looks amazing! Can you come cook for me?!
Happy Mother's Day!
-
Sounds like you had an amazing weekend!
I never thought to use a loaf pan for socca pizza! I get so bored with round ones...is it sad that varying the shape of my pizza gets me excited? What can I say, I have no life! Haha!
PS, I love that you don't use oil in your recipe. I've tried it both ways and I honestly don't see the need for it!
