Ingredients
1 1/2 cups gluten-free flour blend (we recommend using a blend that contains xanthan gum)
1/2 cup tapioca starch
2 tsp active dry yeast
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup warm water
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
Coarse sea salt
Fresh rosemary (optional)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free flour blend, tapioca starch, yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 2-3 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Grease a 9-inch (23cm) baking dish with olive oil.
Once the dough has risen, transfer it to the greased baking dish and press it down evenly.
Drizzle olive oil on top of the dough and use your fingers to create dimples in the dough.
Sprinkle coarse sea salt, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder over the top of the dough.
If desired, add some fresh rosemary to the top of the dough.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the focaccia is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Use a gluten-free flour blend that contains xanthan gum. This will help give your bread a better texture and prevent it from falling apart.
Don’t overwork the dough. Knead it just until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Let the dough rise in a warm place. This will help it rise properly and give your bread a lighter texture.
