This delicious gluten free focaccia is super easy and quick to make. It can either be cut into little pieces and served with toothpicks as an appetizer at a party or served with some lettuce or soup for a simple meal.
This recipe has a taste of summer in the Southern France region called Provence with its signature herbs. Well, Italy and the French region called Provence are pretty close. That's why there are some similarities between the two cuisines. The French equivalent of the Italian focaccia is "fougasse bread". Fougasse bread is the Provencal version of focaccia.
📖 Ingredient notes
- Almond flour. It will give a delicious nutty flavor to your focaccia.
- Gluten free flour. I usually use whole rice flour as I enjoy its neutral flavor. But you can use another gluten free flour (for example buckwheat flour) or all purpose gluten free flour.
- Plain yogurt. Make sure to use non dairy yogurt if you are vegan or dairy free. If you are not, you can use dairy yogurt. I have made this recipe multiple times, with any kind of dairy or non dairy yogurt. They all work out really great.
- Olive oil. I recommend using extra virgin olive oil.
- Olives (seeds removed). Well once, I made a mistake and used olives that still had their seeds. Technically it works, it's just less convenient to eat in a focaccia bread. One more thing: you can either use black or green olives, it's up to you.
- Herbes de Provence. It is a mix of dried herbs (rosemary, savory, oregano and thyme). You can use whichever of those herbs you have on hand if you don't have herbes de Provence in your pantry.

Tastes great but it is very crumbly and does not hold together.
