When you go gluten-free or grain-free, one of the first things you miss is pizza, amiright? Sure, recipes on Pinterest catch your eye that promise to taste *just like* the real deal, but sadly never do. Well, socca to the rescue! This French chickpea flour-based pancake has always been naturally grain- and gluten-free. And it makes a tasty flat-bread crust that crisps up nicely under the broiler. You can even undercook it a tad if you want it to stay flexible enough to use as a wrap. Here are 15 socca pizzas destined to put your fave comfort food back on the menu.
