Socca Pizza
This gluten-free socca pizza uses a protein-rich chickpea flour crust for a healthy and indulgent meal. Topped with tangy tomato paste, sweetcorn, olives, and melted vegan mozzarella, it is a flavorful plant-based alternative to traditional dough-based pizza. Perfectly crispy and ready in 30 minutes, this dish works wonderfully as a hearty main or a snack.
