Ingredients
  

For the Dough

  • 3 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour For optimal results, use a high-quality gluten-free flour blend designed for baking.
  • 1 tablespoon instant yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar Use vegan-friendly sugar for a vegan recipe.
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary Fresh rosemary can also be used.
  • 1 cup warm water Make sure the temperature is around 110°F.
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil Can be replaced with a plant-based oil for vegan.
  • Sea salt For sprinkling on top before baking.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes frothy.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, salt, and dried rosemary.
  • Once the yeast mixture is frothy, add it along with the olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir until well combined; the dough will be sticky.
  • Using lightly oiled hands, transfer the dough to a floured work surface. Knead for about 2-3 minutes until smooth.
  • Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm area for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
  • After rising, gently spread the dough onto a greased baking sheet – about 1/2 inch thick, making small dimples all over the surface with your fingers.
  • Cover again with the kitchen towel and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  • During the second rise, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Sprinkle sea salt on top, drizzle a little more olive oil, and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Allow the focaccia to cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before slicing. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

For best flavor, allow the dough to rise until doubled. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
