Focaccia Bread -Gluten Free
INGREDIENTS
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
2 teaspoons inulin or sugar to feed the yeast*
1/3 cup water lukewarm between 105-110°F {40-45C)
1 1/2 cups almond flour (your choice of gluten free flour)
3 tablespoons psyllium husk finely ground
1 tablespoon ground flax seeds (or 1 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum -thickening agent)
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 egg at room temperature
2 egg whites at room temperature
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
TOPPING
Rosemary springs …extra virgin olive oil ….kosher salt
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Add yeast and sugar (to feed the yeast) to a large bowl. Heat up water to 105-110°F. If you don’t have a thermometer it should only feel lightly warm to touch. Pour water over yeast mixture, cover bowl with a kitchen towel and allow to rest for 7 minutes. The mixture should be bubbly, if it isn’t, start again (too cold water won’t activate the yeast and too hot will kill it).
2. Mix your flours while the yeast is proofing. Add almond flour, psyllium husk, flax seed, baking powder and salt to a medium bowl and whisk until thoroughly mixed. Set aside.
3. Once your yeast is proofed, add in the egg, egg whites, olive oil and vinegar. Mix with a whisk or electric mixer for a couple minutes until light and frothy. Add the flour mixture in two batches, mixing until thoroughly incorporated. You want to mix thoroughly and quickly until the dough becomes thick enough to form into a round ball, cover and place in the fridge overnight.
4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and grease with olive oil (so the dough doesn’t stick while you spread it). Gently drop the dough on top of the sheet. Watch it spread in about two hours. The dough will have filled the pans and be almost ready to bake. With your ‘oily’ fingers, gently finish spreading the dough and make indentations in the dough, filling with rosemary sprigs, drizzle of olive oil, add KOSHER salt.
5. Cover with a kitchen towel and place in a warm place for up to an hour until a fluffier texture. You don’t want the dough to double. It will puff up (see pictures for reference).
6. Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C while the dough is proofing. High altitude baking: bake it at 375°F/190°C.
Transfer gently to baking sheet..let dough proof for 10 more minutes. Gently spread covering the baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, covering with a foil dome at minute 10 to avoid excessive browning. Just be sure that the foil isn’t resting directly on the focaccia .Cool for 5 to 10 minutes before cutting

THE SECRET! 🤫 Overnight Proofing!

TIP: For easy cleanup use parchment paper to line your pan!

TRENDING – Focaccia Bread 2022
KETO Focaccia bread has the same fluffy and soft texture that you’d expect from a full carb version of the bread. For my KETO Focaccia, I used almond flour. I actually like the taste of gluten free breads better than carb breads. LESS CARBS is always good in my books!!!

What Is KOSHER SALT?
KOSHER (kashrut) SALT has a wider grain than table salt. Using kosher salt enhances the flavor of foods instead of making them taste salty. Good bread makers in Toronto use Kosher salt in some of their breads. The salt taste stays grainy on bread and has a milder flavour than table salt. Wonderful for focaccia bread! Kosher salt is popular on pretzels.




GLUTEN IMITATORS
PSYLLIUM is a common thickener in the food industry. Psyllium makes baking products with a wheat-like texture. Pysellium seed is a pale wheat colour. Inulin and psyllium are a plant based fiber from leeks onions. Other enhancers like Flax or Linseed comes in brown or golden colour. Xanthan gum , a creamy, white powder, plays the crucial role of imitating gluten. It is a derivative of carbohydrates/sugar. NOTE: If you are allergic to Flax seeds use Xanthan.

Yes…It is different. The new Keto gluten free alternative. I used the overnight proofing from another recipe. I found it was good to prepare it then put it away – in the fridge. Makes less work..in a sense.. At least splits up the work, if you have a busy schedule.
