I have been meaning to come up with a new gluten-free focaccia recipe for awhile now.
Today was the day.
I have to admit that most of the time most new recipes come to me fairly easily but today, not so much.
My first attempt at focaccia did not turn out so well.
While it rose beautifully once I put it in the oven it was bad. Basically it was rock hard – not good! So back to the drawing board or for me, back to my stand mixer I dug out more ingredients and started all over again.
I am very happy I did.
This recipe was terrific and I am thrilled to share it with you all.
Focaccia is pretty easy to make. While it does require some resting and rising time it is only an hour and then bakes up in 20 minutes.
To me, that is a quick way to make warm gluten-free bread for a family meal.
