Measure Your Ingredients for Low Carb Focaccia Style Bread 

To make low carb focaccia style bread you will need:

Gluten Free All Purpose Bread Mix Measured Ingredients

Follow Instructions for All Purpose Bread Mix & Let Rest

When preparing the dough for low carb focaccia style bread, add all the measured ingredients, except for the boiling water and mix well.

Add boiling water and mix well until the dough is smooth and even. The mixing can be done by hand, in a stand mixer, or a food processor. When in doubt, mix longer it will not damage the dough!

At this point, the dough can rest in a covered bowl. Rest it in a warm environment for at least 1 hour.

Alternatively, you can rest the dough for 4 hours which will give the yeast extra time to consume ALL the remaining naturally occurring sugars in the coconut and almond flour, or if mixed in the evening it can rest well covered overnight.

Shape The Dough

There are actually many ways you can shape the dough depending on what you prefer.

Spit the dough in half and pat or roll the pieces into two ovals approximately 3/4 of an inch thick and place on a baking sheet.

You may also split the dough into 3 smaller pieces, or make one large one, and of course you can flatten it into any shape you like.

You can also try making a thicker focaccia but take note that it will need to bake longer.

At this point, brush with olive oil, sprinkle with garlic salt and add your toppings.

See below for all our topping suggestions!

Bake Your Low Carb Focaccia Style Bread

Bake about 45 minutes at 325℉ or 315℉ for convection oven.

If you notice the toppings starting to cook too quickly, cover the focaccia with foil to prevent burning.

When cool, the bread can be cut into pieces.

Enjoy Your Low Carb Focaccia Style Bread

Low Carb Focaccia Style Bread is best eaten fresh but keeps well in the fridge for a couple days or longer in the freezer.

If you like, try splitting the focaccia open to make wonderful panini style sandwiches.

Our Topping Suggestions

After flattening the dough and brushing generously with olive oil, you can add any variety of toppings. Here are some of our favorite focaccia toppings and topping combos:

  • The classic fresh rosemary and garlic.
  • Sliced red onion, kalamata olives, fresh rosemary, and garlic slices.
  • Caramelized onions, walnuts, and crumbled feta.
  • Cherry tomatoes, olives, and fresh herbs.
  • Anchovy, capers, olives and onion.
  • Marinated artichoke and goat cheese.
  • Sliced pepper, fresh sage leaves and sliced tomato.
 
Firmly press the toppings into the dough so they don’t fall off and sprinkle liberally with salt.
 
Topping Tips! 

You can use any combo of vegetables and herbs you like, just be careful of adding too many wet ingredients (like tomatoes). Slice vegetables into smaller pieces so they can cook through and be sure to leave a little space around each ingredient so the dough can still rise properly.
