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.
