    Tomato + Pesto Socca Pizza {Gluten-Free}

    Delicious Tomato + Pesto Socca Pizza {Gluten-Free}

    I recently wrote an article on gardening unique varieties of fruits and vegetables for the latest issue of Blikki, a fabulous health and well-being magazine curated by my friend Joyce. Writing the article had the happy effect of inspiring *me* to put some herbs in our window boxes.

    ingredients in bowl

    In our city apartment, the only outdoor space is our 1-square-foot fire escape. (We tried putting pots out there, but got a cease-and-desist from the local firefighters. You really don't want to mess with those guys.) A few years ago, Jay and I put in some window boxes, but they have sat empty for years since the last time I went on a gardening spree, we ended up with an aphid infestation that wouldn't go away. Because there are few natural predators out and about in the concrete jungle, the aphids were free to have their freaky, pregnant-at-birth way with my helpless herbs. I tried every natural remedy for the little buggers, but in the end I gave up and resigned myself to a barren, plantless existence.

    wet ingredients in a bowl

    But just the act of writing the article gave me inspiration. I imagined how nice it would be to pick a few sprigs of thyme to put in a soup or chives to garnish an egg dish without having to buy a whole bunch that would eventually rot in the crisper. Maybe by some miracle of the gardening gods the aphids would stay away this time?

    My garden-savvy friend Rebecca of Urban Sprouts came by one day and helped me clear the old dirt out of the neglected boxes. I brought home some chives, basil, tarragon, lemon thyme, lemon verbena, Turkish Bay, and rosemary, and we put them in. I (mostly) remember to water them, and so far they seem happy. A couple of weeks ago I noticed the dreaded aphids gathering in droves on my basil leaves. I thought it would be the end of my gardening stint. But then a few days later another insect showed up, a little green guy with wings, and they seem to have eradicated the aphids entirely. Hooray for the food chain!

    tomatoes laid on pizza base

    The basil ended up in my food chain on this socca pizza. The chickpea flour crust is quickly becoming the hottest recipe in the blogosphere, and not just because it spends 20 minutes under a broiler (har har). The recipe hails from The Homemade Flour Cookbook, a brand-spanking-new tome by Erin Alderson of Naturally Ella and Wooden Spoons Kitchen. Erin is one of the nicest people I've ever met (in fact, full disclosure: she's currently sitting in my living room as I write this!) and she has a way of creating wholesome, approachable dishes, always with a unique twist or two. Her book covers making and using flour from grains, legumes, nuts and seeds, and it brims with her colorful images and cozy recipes. I want to make every single one.

    Tomato + Pesto Socca Pizza {Gluten-Free} sliced

    This pizza especially caught my eye. Socca, a flatbread that hails from Southern France, consists solely of chickpea flour, water, and seasonings. Erin tops this one with tomatoes, basil and mozzarella for a softly crusted pizza of sorts. The fluid batter came together in minutes by whisking together water, chickpea flour, garlic, salt and olive oil. After an hour long soak, it gets poured into a hot, oiled pan and baked under a broiler, sizzling upon contact and forming a crunchy outer crust and creamy interior. I topped mine with the first pretty heirloom tomatoes of the season, fresh mozzarella that's made in the Bay Area, and a generous smear of fresh pesto. We devoured it alongside a green salad and glasses of wine.

    I'm ecstatic to have this simple recipe to unleash on gluten-intolerant guests. I think it would make a perfect snack with aperitifs, and I'd imagine you could increase the recipe to bake a larger pizza on a rimmed baking sheet. You can top it with anything you can think of, including feta and zucchini and goat cheese.

    Other recipes from the book that I have my eye on are:

    • Buckwheat Enchiladas with Black Beans and Chipotle Tomato Sauce
    • Sweet Potato and Red Lentil Gnocchi with Pesto Cream Sauce
    • Green Pea Flour and Zucchini Fritters with Dill Yogurt Dip
    • Ricotta and Beet Galette with Teff Crust

    Tomato + Pesto Socca Pizza

    Print Recipe Pin Recipe
    A fresh and delicious pizza for you!
    Alanna Taylor-Tobin
    Prep Time: 20 minutes
    Cook Time: 20 minutes
    Total: 40 minutes
    Servings: 2 servings 2 as a main dish or 4 as an appetizer (makes one 10" pizza).

    Ingredients

    For the pesto:

    • 2 cups packed fresh basil leaves
    • 3 tablespoons pine nuts or hemp seeds
    • 2 cloves garlic
    • 1/3-1/2 cup olive oil
    • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
    • about 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt (to taste)

    For the socca crust:

    • 1 cup chickpea flour (4.25 ounces / 120 grams)
    • 1 cup water (8 ounces / 235 ml)
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus 1 tablespoon for the pan
    • 1 clove garlic, minced or pressed
    • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

    For topping the pizza:

    • 2-3 smallish heirloom tomatoes
    • 4 ounces fresh mozzarella, patted dry (or 3 ounces / 85 grams dry mozzarella), sliced 1/4" thick (115 grams)
    • olive oil
    • basil leaves

    Instructions

    Make the pesto:

    • While you stem the basil, bring a medium saucepan of water to a rolling boil. Fill a medium bowl with ice and cool water. Plunge the basil into the boiling water for 10 seconds, until wilted and bright green, then plunge into the ice bath. When cool, squeeze the dickens out of the basil to remove the water. (Alternatively, leave the basil fresh if you plan to use up all the pesto within a day or two.)
    • Place the basil (blanched or noin a food processor with the pine nuts, garlic and cheese. Puree until fairly smooth, adding some of the olive oil if you need to help the mixture blend. With the motor running, drizzle in the olive oil until the mixture reaches the consistency of a thick paste, then season to taste with the salt.
    • If storing the pesto, place it in a jar and cover with a thin layer of olive oil (this will help prevent it from oxidizinand place in the fridge for up to a week or two, or in the freezer for up to several months.

    Make the socca batter:

    • Place the chickpea flour in a medium bowl and gradually stir and whisk in the water little by little until smooth. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, the garlic, and the salt, and let sit for 1 hour.
    • Meanwhile, position a rack 8 inches from the broiler and preheat. (My broiler is mere inches from its fixed rack, so I baked the socca in a 500ºF oven until firm, then crisped it up under the broiler.) Place a 10" oven-proof skillet under the broiler/in the oven to preheat for a few minutes.
    • When the batter is ready, remove the pan from the oven, swirl in 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the bottom and up the sides of the pan, then pour in the batter. Cook the socca under the broiler or in the oven until firm, golden, and cracked on top, 5-8 minutes in the broiler, or longer in the oven. (If baking it in the oven, stick the socca under the broiler for a few minutes to brown the top.)

    Finish the pizza:

    • Reduce the oven temperature to 425ºF.
    • Top the socca with the cheese slices, then the tomatoes, and sprinkle with a bit of salt and olive oil. Bake the pizza until the cheese is bubbly and melted, 8-10 minutes. Remove the pizza and spread with a few tablespoons of the pesto, a drizzle of olive oil, and some fresh basil leaves. Let cool for a few minutes, then cut into wedges and serve warm.

    Notes

    Minimally adapted from The Homemade Flour Cookbook by Erin Alderson.
    The socca batter will be very liquid, but will firm up into a soft bread in the heat of the oven. It's firm enough to pick up and eat with your hands, but feel free to use a plate, knife, and fork instead.
    Below is our go-to pesto recipe, which we snagged from the late mother of our good friend Katherine, Covie. We take the extra step of plunging the basil into boiling water then shocking it in an ice bath which helps it retain its bright hue in the finished sauce. We usually make a double or triple batch at the start of summer and use it daily on eggs, sandwiches, and pasta, or this delicious pizza.

        I don'tknow if you solved your aphid problem yet, but they hate marigolds! Just plant marigolds around your herbs and you'll have no aphids. I have none in my fairly large garden because there are marigolds planted everywhere. Happy herbing!

      Gardening is tough business! One year I went a little bonkers and decided I needed everything--every inch of my windowsill was covered with pots. It got out of hand and I haven't tried since. I could probably learn to live with one of those Trader Joe's basil plants, but when you have "just a bit" of fresh basil at your disposal, you want "just a bit" of everything else.

      Anyhow. This pizza looks like my summer dreams come true, gluten-free or not!

        Totally! That's what I did the first time, too. I had crazy things growing like lovage, anise hyssop and rose geranium, which made it extra sad when the aphids took over as I can't find those things anywhere. It's a slippery slope. So glad you're digging the pizza!

      That is so exciting you are getting your herb garden going! Herbs are one of my favorite things to grown because, like you said, I always end up buying a container of them for a recipe and sadly the rest usually rots in the refrigerator before I get a chance to use it. Yah for herb gardens! Also, a huge yah for this pizza!! I saw this crust somewhere a few days ago and was intrigued, and now after seeing your pizza, I know that I need to make this soon! The crust sounds so easy to make, it will be perfect for pizza Fridays (a holiday that my husband has declared in our household)!

      It looks very nice, but one question: why should we wait one hour for the batter? I made farinata only once at home and a long time ago too but I don't remember having to wait for the batter. What happens if I don't wait? The reason I am asking is because I am looking for a relatively quick pizza fix.

I hope so because it's #piday and I'm sharing this cheesy spinach & leek quiche in a flaky gluten-free crust! 

The trick to getting a crisp crust is 
1. parbake the crust before adding the filling
2. brush the crust with egg white – this creates a barrier between the crisp crust and custardy filling
3. bake on the lower rack of the oven (preferably on a pizza stone if you've got one)

You'll get a golden, crisp bottom crust that keeps well for a couple of days in the fridge.

    Counting down to #piday (3.14) with this GF & vega Counting down to #piday (3.14) with this GF & vegan key lime number. 💚

This no-bake pie tastes so fresh and bright. There's a toasty crust laced with cinnamon, coconut, and macadamia nuts. The creamy cashew filling is toe-curlingly tangy and just sweet enough. 

Both components are made in a blender with just a few minutes of active time and the pie keeps like a dream for days.

    Twas a good week for cookies - but not much else! Twas a good week for cookies - but not much else! 

I had a pinched nerve in my ribs which felt like being stabbed in the side with a knife - so painful! This was probably caused by some overzealous (on my part) chiropractic work that had unintended consequences. 

Thank goodness for muscle relaxants and non-force chiros, I'm feeling much better after a very painful ~10 days! 

In other news, COOKIES. These oatmeal teff chocolate chip cookies were a late addition to my book, and I shared them on TBG 7 (!) years ago. 

I've been craving these cookies lately and wanted to see if they could be made refined sugar-free with coconut sugar (they can!) and I made some updates to the post body as well. 

Love love love the butterscotchy flavor of teff here, which pairs beautifully with chewy oats, toasty walnuts, and bittersweet chocolate. When perfectly underbaked, these stay moist and chewy for days. Or chill the dough balls and bake them off to order for warm, fresh cookies every day. Bojon appétit!
