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.
Ingredients
- almond flour
- gluten free flour: I usually use whole rice flour as I enjoy its neutral flavor. But you can use another gluten free or even a mix of flours.
- dairy or non dairy plain yogurt : I have made this recipe multiple times, with any kind of dairy or non dairy yogurt (well except cow dairy yogurt as I'm intolerant). They all work out really great.
- 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.
- herbs of 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 herbs of Provence in your pantry.
- apple cider vinegar
- baking soda
- salt
How to make it
- In a large bowl, put the yogurt, olive oil, apple cider vinegar and Provence herbs.
- Mix well with a spoon.
- Add almond flour, rice flour, baking soda, salt and olives.
- Mix with a spoon until all ingredients are well combined.
- Grease a 7 inches / 18 cm diameter tin with olive oil and transfer the batter to the tin.
- Cook for 20-25 minutes or until it reaches a golden color. And voilà ! Your gluten free focaccia is ready. You can serve it warm or cold. Bon appétit !

Notes
Although I spend quite a lot of time converting all my recipes to cups (yes, manually, in my kitchen!) I highly recommend using a scale and measuring for weight rather than using cups. The reason for this is, apart from the whole debate on accuracy, the density of certain gluten free flours and starches differ a lot from one brand to another. Also keep in mind that all cups are not the same size all around the world which makes another good reason to use a scale so you won't get this issue.
Please keep in mind that the nutritional information is calculated using a nutrition facts calculator. It is a rough estimate and can vary greatly based on products used.

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