Notes

What is focaccia?

Focaccia is a flat, oven baked, Italian bread. Some people would describe it as a bread similar to a pizza base, however slightly thicker

How to make focaccia?

Focaccia is really simple to make, especially when making a gluten free focaccia. Simply combine flour, olive oil and coconut yoghurt in a bowl with and mix with your hands until a dough has formed. Then place it in a baking tray until it is cooked and the top has turned a lovely golden colour!

What is the best thing to eat focaccia bread with?

The best thing about focaccia is that it is so versatile. You can have it with pretty much any meal as a side dish. I personally love it with my Vegan Lasagne, however it's also really nice alongside my Creamy Courgetti Salad

What to serve on focaccia bread?

Literally anything! I love to top my gluten free focaccia with rosemary and garlic, but equally if I want to up my game a bit, I'll add sun-dried tomatoes and olive too. You could also add some caramelised onions and vegan cheese to make it seriously mouth-wateringly good!
