Print Recipe

Gluten-free focaccia is a delicious Italian bread made with gluten-free flour, olive oil, and yeast. It’s known for its fluffy interior, crispy edges, and dimpled surface, typically topped with herbs and salt. Jamie Oliver’s version ensures the same satisfying texture and taste as the traditional recipe while catering to those avoiding gluten.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 400g gluten-free bread flour – The base for the bread.
  • 7g dried yeast (1 sachet) – Helps the dough rise.
  • 1 tsp sugar – Activates the yeast.
  • 1 tsp salt – Enhances flavor.
  • 325ml warm water – To form the dough and activate the yeast.
  • 3 tbsp olive oil – Adds moisture and flavor.
  • Fresh rosemary (chopped) – Classic topping for focaccia.
  • Flaky sea salt – Sprinkled on top for texture and flavor.

Instructions

Step 1: Activate the Yeast

In a small bowl, mix the dried yeast, sugar, and warm water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Step 2: Mix the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour and salt. Pour in the yeast mixture and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Mix with a spoon until a sticky dough forms.

Step 3: Let the Dough Rise

Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for 45-60 minutes, or until it doubles in size.

Step 4: Prepare the Baking Tray

Grease a baking tray or dish with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Transfer the dough onto the tray, spreading it out evenly with your hands.

Step 5: Dimple the Dough

Using your fingers, press dimples into the surface of the dough. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with chopped rosemary and flaky sea salt.

Step 6: Bake the Focaccia

Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan) or 400°F. Bake the focaccia for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown on top and crispy around the edges.

Step 7: Cool and Serve

Remove the focaccia from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
