Gluten Free Vegan Focaccia My Favorite Gluten Free Bread Recipes

GLUTEN FREE FOCACCIA (DAIRY FREE, VEGAN)

Steps:

• Place the warm water in a jug (it should be around skin-temperature) and stir in the caster sugar until dissolved. Add the yeast, stir and then cover with a tea towel and leave in a warm spot for 7-10 minutes. It should form a head like on beer - when it does it's ready to use.
• Add the gluten free flour, xanthan gum and 1 tsp salt to a large mixing bowl and stir.
• When the yeast mixture is ready, form a well in the centre of the flour mix and pour in. Mix together with a wooden spoon until it forms a thick batter.
• Add 3 tbsp olive oil to the mixture and fold in with the wooden spoon until mixed well.
• Use 1 tbsp olive oil to generously grease a 20cm-diameter round tin. Pour the bread mixture in and use oiled fingers to spread it out evenly in a flat layer. Cover loosely with oiled clingfilm and place in a warm, draft-free spot for around an hour to prove.
• Once the dough has proved, it should have expanded in size. Heat the oven to 220'C / Fan 200'C / Gas Mark 8. Use an oiled thumb or finger to poke dimples into the top of the focaccia dough and press sprigs of rosemary into these at random.
• Drizzle with extra oil (around 1 tbsp) and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes. The focaccia should be golden and crisp on top and sound hollow when tapped.
• Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the sea salt flakes. Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before turning out of the tin and slicing up to serve.
