Got a nudge from Leah....so French inspired dinner.

Socca is a provencal pancake made from chickpea flour. It's served freshly baked, dusted with cracked pepper washed down with a cold rose.

If you are looking for authenticity... Leave now. Gotta feed a hungry family for dinner, an empty pie won't do.

Here is the batter:

The second pie is half with brie/olives/tomatoes, half with smoked salmon/blue cheese/capers.

Let me clarify before other members attempt this. This pie tastes nothing la pizza. Taste is different, texture too. It won't hold up like a pizza slice. It is a great meal though.

I also recommmend the classic socca, (pie only, no toppings). Excellent summer appetizer. Will probably do some soon.

Interesting, I've never heard of that. How flavorful is the chick pea dough? Is it just a base for the toppings?

With toppings you don't get a good taste of the pie. By itself it taste great. Well....don't expect sensorial overload. It's a light taste and texture.

And now I see that it is fully wheat free and so I MUST make it, (as I don't eat wheat) and this sounds and looks so very beautiful! Amazing! I'm so glad you posted and I learned!!!
