Gluten-Free Focaccia Bread
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 Cups Gluten-Free Flour I use Pamela's Bread Flour mix. Be sure to add xanthan gum if your flour blend doesn't contain it.
- 2 TSP Baking Powder
- 1/2 TSP Salt
- 1 1/2 Cups Warm Water
- 2 1/4 TSP Active Dry Yeast
- 1 TBSP Sugar
- 3 TBSP Olive Oil Divided
- 1 TSP Rosemary Or any herb you would like.
Instructions
- Make sure your hot water is between 105 and 110 degrees F. Add yeast, sugar, and 2 TBSP olive oil to the water. Stir and let it bloom for about 5 minutes. If it starts to look foamy on top, that means the yeast is active.
- In a large bowl, or stand mixer, stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Next, pour the yeast mixture into the flour mixture and stir until well combined. Since this is a gluten-free bread, the mixture will not look like a regular dough ball, more like a thick batter.
- Cover bowl and let rise for about 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and grease a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Pour the dough onto the baking sheet and gently press out using your hands, into an 8x10 rectangle shape. Use your fingers to poke dimples into the dough.
- Drizzle the remaining olive oil and add rosemary, or whatever herb you would like on top.
- Bake for about 25 minutes, or until desired brownness.
