Ingredients

• 300 grams Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan Gum
• 7 grams Instant Yeast
• 1 tablespoon Granulated Sugar
• 350 milliliters Warm Water (about 110°F/43°C)
• 60 milliliters Olive Oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 150 grams Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
• 50 grams Grated Parmesan Cheese
• 1 tablespoon Fresh Rosemary (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoon Coarse Sea Salt (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, instant yeast, and sugar. Whisk well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.

Step 2

Slowly add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula until a sticky dough forms.

Step 3

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a damp kitchen towel. Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free area for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F).

Step 5

Once the dough has risen, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 6

Transfer the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. With wet hands, gently spread and press the dough into a rectangle about 1-inch thick.

Step 7

Use your fingertips to create dimples all over the surface of the dough. This will give it the characteristic focaccia texture.

Step 8

Evenly sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan over the surface of the dough. Add fresh rosemary and coarse sea salt if using.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm!
