Instructions
Whisk the chickpea flour, water, olive oil, and salt if using together in a medium bowl until smooth. Let it rest for 30 minutes to give the flour time to absorb the water.
Arrange an grill rack 6 inches below the broiler element and heat on medium to high or if using the oven 230℃/450°F. About 5 minutes before the batter is done resting, place a 10-inch cast iron pan/skillet in the grill to heat up.
Remove the hot pan/skillet from the oven. Add about 1 teaspoon of oil, enough to coat the bottom of the pan when the pan is swirled. Pour the batter into the centre of the pan. Tilt the pan so the batter coats the entire surface of the pan.
Cook until you see the top of the socca begin to blister and brown, 5 to 8 minutes. The socca should be fairly flexible in the middle but crispy on the edges. If the top is browning too quickly before the batter is fully set, move the skillet to a lower oven rack until done or reduce the heat.
Use a flat spatula to work your way under the flatbread and ease it from the pan onto a cutting board. Slice it into wedges, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and drizzle with more olive oil and sprinkle with the za'atar or herbs if using.
