Try this easy recipe for gluten free focaccia topped with olive oil, garlic and rosemary. An easy Italian bread that is the perfect side along with a salad or a bowl of soup. Gum-free, dairy-free, eggless and vegan.

Traditional Italian Focaccia is both chewy and crispy in texture. The top and bottom of the bread are crispy thanks to a layer of olive oil we apply to the top, and the inside of the bread should have a squishy and airy texture. To achieve this with a gluten-free flour blend, I use a blend of oat flour, almond flour, and potato starch and not only add yeast but also some baking powder and club soda for creation.

Notes

Gluten free and vegan baking is very tricky. Substitutions just don’t work equally well.
Oat flour substitute: Use almond flour. Or try your favorite gf blend. Use 1 tbsp less non dairy milk 
Starches: potato starch works best. As a substitute, a mix of half tapioca and half corn/arrowroot might work. 
Almond flour: cannot be substituted.

For Nutfree option try my chickpea flour bread here. Omit the Indian spices.

Ingredients:

• the bread is made with a mix of almond flour, oat flour, and potato starch
• yeast is added for the rise – make sure it’s still active
• salt is quintessential for bread, don’t skip it
•  baking powder helps with the rise and allows for a short rising time
• Italian herb blend and garlic powder lend the focaccia its Mediterranean flavor
• oil is added to enrich the dough along with some warm non-dairy milk to activate the yeast
• neutral-flavored preferably low sweet club soda helps aerate the batter before baking which is essential for Glutenfree bakes
• the focaccia is topped with extra virgin olive oil, dried or fresh rosemary, but you can also use thyme

Tips:

• Make sure your instant/rapid yeast is fresh. If your yeast expired, you will not get a good rise from the bread.
• Do not overheat the milk or you could kill the yeast.
• Make sure to rise the focaccia dough in a warm place.
• Bake the focaccia on the middle rack.

Add in the oil. Add in the warm non-dairy milk and yeast and mix in. Add in 2 tablespoons of the club soda and mix in as well.

Let this thick batter sit for 20-30 minutes in a warm place, covered.

After 30 minutes, add in the remaining 2 tablespoons of club soda by gently mixing it in. Use super fresh club soda so that there’s a lot of aeration in it.

Line a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan with parchment. Then transfer this batter to the pan and even it out on top.

This bread is best on the day it is baked.
