Gluten-Free Focaccia Bread

  • Author: chefcletus
  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x
  • Diet: Gluten-Free

Description

A delightful gluten-free focaccia bread with rich flavors from fresh herbs and garlic, perfect for all occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups gluten-free flour blend
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (plus more for drizzling)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, or basil)
  • Optional toppings: garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, sautéed mushrooms

Instructions

  1. Mix the dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine your gluten-free flour blend, yeast, and salt. Pour in the warm water and olive oil, using a wooden spoon to mix until a dough forms.
  2. Knead gently: Unlike traditional bread, gluten-free dough doesn’t require extensive kneading, but give it a gentle fold for about 2-3 minutes to ensure it comes together.
  3. Let it rise: Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and leave it in a warm spot for about 30 minutes. You’ll notice it rise slightly—that’s a good sign!
  4. Prepare the baking pan: Drizzle olive oil in a baking pan, spreading it evenly. This creates a rich crust once baked.
  5. Shape the dough: Transfer your dough to the pan and gently press it out, forming an even layer. Use your fingers to create dimples across the surface, allowing pools of olive oil to gather.
  6. Season with herbs: Sprinkle your choice of fresh herbs over the top, along with additional salt if desired. This is where you can be creative—feel free to add garlic or even cheese for extra flavor!
  7. Bake: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake for about 25-30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the top is slightly firm to the touch.
  8. Cool and serve: Allow your focaccia to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Drizzle with more olive oil before serving to elevate the flavors.

Notes

For variations, consider using coconut flour or almond milk for dairy-free options. Ensure to adjust the liquid accordingly.
