What is Focaccia?

Focaccia is a type of dough that is very similar to pizza dough. It can be made to taste savory or sweet by adding different focaccia toppings (in our keto focaccia recipe we make it savory thanks to the salt, olives, and herbs). The bread, once baked should be springy like a mattress and golden in color as well. When sliced you should be able to see little air holes of various sizes in the bread.

How To Make Focaccia Bread

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.

Prepare a 9×13 baking dish with parchment paper and brush it with olive oil. Set the pan aside.

Stir together the almond flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.

Add in 2 beaten eggs, almond milk, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar.

Stir well until a smooth dough forms. Set aside.

With the next three eggs, separate the egg white and yolks from one another. Place the 3 egg whites into a medium-sized bowl.

Beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.

Slowly fold together the dough and the egg whites until the focaccia is super fluffy in texture. You will lose a lot of air, but a good amount should remain.

Place the batter into the prepared baking tray and spread it out evenly. The bread doesn’t need to go up to the edges.

In a bowl mix together the olive oil and rosemary leaves. Allow to rest for 5 minutes.

Brush the oil over the focaccia.

Spread olives, and sea salt flakes over the top.

Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick can be inserted and come out clean. The top of the bread should be slightly brown.

Let the focaccia cool before serving.

Leftovers- Reheating leftovers in the oven or toaster assures a better texture.

Olive oil matters- When considering the toppings for focaccia bread always use good quality and cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil for the best results.

FAQs

How is focaccia different from bread?

Is focaccia bread hard or soft?

It’s a flatbread that has a crispy and chewy crust and a soft and airy center. It holds up great for dipping in herb-infused olive oil. If your bread ends up really dense make sure that you measure the flour correctly and that you folded the egg whites into the mix properly and didn’t squish out the air.
