Farinata (or socca) is an Italian-style flatbread made from chickpea flour and water with other add-ins according to individual preference. It’s a dense bread that accompanies a meal with some added flavor, texture, and warmth. Farinata is also a breeze to make! This recipe uses the basic ration of chickpea flour to water and combines it with the comforting and earthy flavor of rosemary.
