Combining Levantine flavors to create a delicious gluten-free, grain-free, nut-free, vegan pizza recipe baked in a cast iron skillet! Levantine Socca Pizza is the healthy exotic twist you need to spice up pizza night!

Levantine Socca Pizza | Strength and Sunshine @RebeccaGF666 Combining Levantine flavors to create a delicious gluten-free, grain-free, nut-free, vegan pizza recipe baked in a cast iron skillet! Levantine Socca Pizza is the healthy exotic twist you need to spice up pizza night!

It's here! The final pizza to celebrate unofficial pizza month! I've given you a bunch of new gluten-free and grain-free crust ideas and this one is yet another to add to the list! This one took a little bit of before-hand prep, which I showed you on Monday. The Baba Ghanoush HummusΒ is only one of the spreads you'll need to top this Levantine Socca Pizza!

You may have noticed right away that I baked this luscious pie in one of my favorite kitchen appliances, my cast iron! It creates the perfect browned and flavor-infused bottom to this socca crust! And it comes off clean and easy (which is what we all want!) We don't want to lose any part of our chickpea flour crust because it gets stuck in some terrible tragic pan!

Before I get too ahead of myself and assume y'all know what socca is, let me give you the rundown. Socca (also called Farinata) is a chickpea flour "flatbread" or large pancake. Originally from France (I know!), but seen mostly in Middle Eastern cuisines now-a-days. You just need chickpea flour and liquid to make socca, but of course, that's just the "basic". We will be making a much more stellar, heartier, and "pizza-crust-worthy" socca today!

What makes this socca more than just a thin flatbread is.....sweet potato! Sweet potato puree to the rescue for making a perfect pizza worthy crust that will stand up to all the luscious sauces and topping that grace this pie! The crust comes out soft and bready and the perfect thickness.

To make this pizza really shine, through a few different layers, here's what you get. Layer 1: socca crust, layer 2: harissa, layer 3: baba ghanoush hummus, "layer" 4: eggplant strips and fresh cilantro! Is your mouth watering? Yes! You get to bite through all those lovely layers. It really is a pie of bliss! You can eat this whole thing yourself if you have a super appetite, or share it with a very trusted and loved friend (because you know...it's PIZZA)!

I didn't know what cuisine this pizza fell under, so that's why I'm using the regional term, Levantine. This encompasses the Middle Eastern area ofΒ Cyprus, Egypt, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, and Turkey. It covers all my bases for this pizza creation.

I hope you're as excited as I am about this pizza! I think it may be my proudest "pie" creation to this point. It may have to do with the magic of the cast iron, the chickpea flour, the harissa, or maybe thatΒ baba ghanoush hummus. Well, I guess it's just a combination of it all! So here you go; let's get pizza making!

Yes guys, I used baby food yet again πŸ˜‰ That stuff is just too handyΒ and has the perfect consistency! Now, I hope y'all join me in grabbing your cast ironΒ and making some delicious, mouth-watering, "omg-flavor!" Levantine Socca Pizza today!

So tell me:

+ Have you ever made socca? Funny story, I few years ago I tried to make a socca crust and it was such a huge fail! The entire thing just stuck to the baking dish and it was a mess. I made this pizza in its place. Lucky me, I finally conquered the socca pizza!

+ Do you have a pizza stone? I think I might want to get one. We have one, but it's so "gluttened" that I obviously can't use it πŸ˜›

    What a beautiful pizza! I love all of those wonderful layers of flavour. The base sounds wonderful too. And no I don't have a pizza stone but I have been meaning to buy one like forever. I bake all my own bread and pizza stones are great for baking your loaves on. It makes them extra crusty. I make pizza often too so I don't know why I dont get my act together and splash out on one!
