Gluten Free Focaccia Bread
by: claire cary
This is the best gluten free focaccia bread recipe. It's easy to make, light and airy with a perfectly crisp crust. Topped with rosemary, parmesan and flaky salt for a flavorful appetizer or snack.
Ingredients
- 1 16 ounce bag Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Bread Mix/Flour
- 1 packet instant yeast
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- ½ cup olive oil
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons parmesan
Instructions
- Open the bag of flour and discard the yeast packet in there. We want the instant yeast for this recipe.
- Add the flour, packet of instant yeast, baking powder, salt and sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer with the dough hook.
- Mix until all ingredients are combined.
- Warm the water to 105-115 degrees Fahrenheit. This usually takes about 50 seconds in my microwave. If it's too hot, let it cool before adding to the dry ingredients or it will kill the yeast.
- With the mixer running on low, pour in the water and olive oil.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed and then let the mixture run for about 2-3 minutes.
- Grease a bowl with olive oil, then add in the dough. It will be quite wet. Cover, then place in a warm, dark environment to rise for 1 hour.
- Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper and drizzle with olive oil. You can use 9x9 if that's all you have, but the bread won't be as thick and the bake time will be shorter.
- When you have about 15 minutes left of rise time, preheat the oven to 425 Fahrenheit.
- Add the dough to the prepared pan and use a greased rubber spatula or oiled hands to spread evenly.
- Top with the parmesan, then use oiled fingers to poke holes in the top. You can add the parmesan after, but it will cover the holes and I prefer the look of adding it before.
- Add on top the rosemary and a drizzle of olive oil.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Try 16-20 minutes for a 9x9.
- Let cool for about 30 minutes, then slice and enjoy!
Notes
Please do not sub the bread flour for any other flour! A regular gluten free all purpose flour will not work here.
