How to Make Gluten Free Focaccia Bread (Overview)

Making Gluten Free Focaccia is a breeze! Start by activating your yeast with warm water and sugar. Just let it froth up like a bubbly potion.

Tips to Make Gluten Free Focaccia Bread

• Timing is everything! Give that dough enough time to rise; about 30-45 minutes will do magic.
• Consider using a blend of gluten-free flours for a unique texture.
• If you’re into flavors, toss in some minced garlic or your favorite dried herbs along with the rosemary.
• A sprinkle of parmesan before baking can elevate the flavor even more!
• Don’t over-dimple! Just make enough to hold the olive oil; you want soft, pillowy bread. 😊
