Farinata is a flatbread made in Italian culture. It’s also called Socca Bread. The recipe is made with chickpea flour and is totally gluten-free. I remixed the recipe a bit by adding Tapioca flour. In gluten free baking, much of the flours are very dense and dry in nature. They tend to give food a…
