Socca

(Garbanzo Flatbread)

Ingredients
1 cup chickpea flour (4 ½ ounces)
1 cup water
1 ½ tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the pan and drizzling
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon za'atar spices (optional)

Instructions
Mix the batter ingredients.
Let the batter rest for 30 minutes before cooking — this makes the interior creamy when cooked.
Preheat the oven to 450°F while the batter rests, and then about five minutes before cooking slide a cast iron pan under the broiler and heat the broiler to high.
The pan should get a little smoky while it preheats (Open a window or turn on a fan while you’re working on this step.)
Then, slick the pan with more olive oil and add the rested batter.
Broil the socca for about 7 minutes.
The socca won’t rise, but the exterior will blister and blacken a bit under the broiler.
You only need a maximum of eight minutes of total cook time to set the outside of the socca but leave the interior creamy.
