Gluten-Free Focaccia Bread Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 2 ½ cups Antimo Caputo Gluten Free Pizza Flour Buy here

  • 1 tablespoon Antimo Caputo Lievito Active Dry Yeast Buy here

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 tablespoon sugar (helps the yeast activate)

  • 1 ½ cups warm water

  • 3 tablespoons La Tourangelle Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil Buy here

  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary (or fresh if available)

  • Optional toppings: olives, cherry tomatoes, caramelized onions, garlic, sea salt

Instructions:

  1. Activate the Yeast:

    • In a small bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it’s frothy. This indicates the yeast is active and ready to use.

  2. Mix the Dough:

    • In a large bowl, mix the Antimo Caputo Gluten Free Pizza Flour and salt. Slowly pour in the activated yeast mixture and La Tourangelle Olive Oil. Mix until the dough comes together. It will be slightly sticky, which is perfect for focaccia.

  3. Knead the Dough:

    • Transfer the dough to a clean, floured surface. Using your hands or a dough scraper, knead the dough for about 2-3 minutes. It should feel soft and elastic. If it’s too sticky, add a little more flour until it becomes manageable.

  4. Let the Dough Rise:

    • Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.

  5. Preheat the Skillet:

    • While the dough is rising, preheat your Lodge 15 Inch Cast Iron Skillet in the oven at 425°F (220°C). The cast iron will help create a crispy, golden crust on your focaccia.

  6. Shape the Dough:

    • Once the dough has risen, transfer it to the hot cast iron skillet. Gently stretch the dough to fit the shape of the skillet, then press your fingers into the dough to create little dimples all over the top.

  7. Add Toppings:

    • Drizzle the dough with a little extra La Tourangelle Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil and sprinkle with rosemary. You can also add your choice of toppings—olives, cherry tomatoes, caramelized onions, garlic, or even a sprinkle of sea salt for that extra burst of flavor.

  8. Bake the Focaccia:

    • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and golden brown. If you like your focaccia extra crispy, you can leave it in for a few more minutes.

  9. Cool & Serve:

    • Once done, remove the focaccia from the skillet and let it cool on a wire rack for a few minutes. Slice and serve with your favorite dipping sauces or enjoy on its own!

Fun Topping Variations to Try:

  • Classic Olive Topping: Scatter Kalamata olives across the dough for that traditional focaccia flavor.

  • Tomato & Basil: Add halved cherry tomatoes and fresh basil for a Mediterranean twist.

  • Caramelized Onion & Balsamic Vinegar: For a sweeter, savory option, top with caramelized onions and drizzle with balsamic vinegar.

  • Garlic & Rosemary: Infuse your focaccia with bold, fragrant flavors by adding minced garlic and fresh rosemary to the top.

Tips for the Perfect Gluten-Free Focaccia:

  • Use the Right Flour: The Antimo Caputo Gluten Free Pizza Flour is specially formulated to give you that perfect dough consistency. It’s a must-have for achieving the right texture.

  • Get That Crispy Edge: The Lodge 15 Inch Cast Iron Skillet is perfect for baking focaccia. It ensures a crisp crust, while the inside remains tender.

  • Don’t Skip the Olive Oil: Generously drizzle the focaccia with La Tourangelle Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil before baking. This not only adds flavor but helps to achieve that golden-brown perfection.
