DINNER | LUNCH

SIMPLE SOCCA BASE

This is the simplest pizza base I have ever made. Containing just one main ingredient, chickpeas! Personally, I prefer a thinner pizza crust, as let’s face it, all I really want are the toppings! We like to make a selection so that we can share and enjoy a variety of combinations: caramelised onion and goats cheese, chicken and roasted peppers, garlic mushrooms and olives – literally anything goes! But sometimes the Italian classic Margherita is hard to beat.
