This Easy Gluten Free Focaccia is made with just 7 ingredients and requires very little effort or skill. It’s super crispy and flakey on the outside and soft and doughy on the inside. It has such delicious flavor from the salt and olive oil and is all around a winner with both gluten free and non gluten free eaters! Trust me, I fed this to my pickiest family members to be sure!

A NOTE ON CALORIE COUNT, NUTRITIONAL INFO AND SERVING SIZES
Due to my past experiences, I do not include most of the above information within my recipes as it is unsafe for me to do so personally. While I try to share a rough estimate when it comes to the serving size, please note that it is very subjective as we all have different hunger levels both from person to person and even from meal to meal.
If any of the above information is important to you, I understand! We are all different and have various goals and needs. If you’d like, you are welcome to calculate the information needed based on the ingredients you use when making one of my recipes.
I hope you understand! This comes from a place of love and protection both for myself and others like me. If you ever have any questions, send me an Instagram message for the quickest response time! Thank you for being here!

Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Combine the warm water and yeast. Ensure that the water is 120℉ so that the yeast activates properly. Set aside until yeast is somewhat bubbly (about 5-10 minutes).
- Add dry ingredients (gluten free flour, baking powder and salt) into your stand mixing bowl and whisk together.
- Preheat your oven to 375℉. I like to have the oven hot while the dough rises next to it.
- Add the remaining ingredients to the dry ingredients, including the yeast and water mixture, and mix using a dough hook on medium-high speed for 4 minutes. I recommend pausing the mixing to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl two separate times to ensure the ingredients are combining well.
- Cover the bowl with a cloth towel and let the dough rest/rise for 30 minutes or so, right next to the hot oven.
- In an 8×8 inch pan for regular focaccia or a 9×13 inch pan for thinner focaccia, line the bottom and sides with parchment paper. Do not skip the parchment paper as the bread WILL stick to the bottom of the pan no matter how much oil you use.
- On top of the parchment paper, drizzle 1-2 tbsp of olive oil and spread around.
- Add the dough to center of pan, then work it outwards with a rubber spatula or oiled hands.
- Allow the dough to rise uncovered for 1 hour next to or on top of the heated oven.
- Drizzle 1-2 tbsp of olive oil on top of the dough and use your fingertips to gently poke holes into/indent the top of the dough.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes in a 9×13 inch pan or for 1 hour and 15-20 minutes in an 8×8 inch pan. Once done, it will be golden brown and spring back when pressed.
- Grabbing the edges of the parchment paper, remove the focaccia from the pan immediately after baking and wait at least an hour before cutting into it. Sprinkle with salt if desired and enjoy!
Notes
- Double the recipe (makes 6 sandwiches aka 12 pieces)
- Bake the bread in two 13″L x 9.5″W x 1″H baking sheets
