03 — Method

  1. Pour the water into a bowl and add the salt.
  2. Sift in the chickpea flour, whisking to prevent lumps.
  3. Whisk in 3 tablespoons olive oil.
  4. Cover and let rest for 1 hour (longer is better).
  5. Preheat the oven to 240°C (475°F) with a large baking sheet or metal pizza pan inside.
  6. Take out the hot pan and pour in the rest of the olive oil.
  7. Pour in the batter (it should sizzle) in a very thin 5 mm (¼ in) layer.
  8. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, then broil for 2 minutes: the socca should be golden and blistered.
  9. Cut into rough pieces with a knife right on the pan.
  10. Serve hot with plenty of pepper and flaky salt.
