Easy Paleo Focaccia! (grain free & dairy free)

January 10, 2020 by Dafna

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

aka Faux-caccia Bread

I’ll be honest, I wasn’t looking to create a focaccia recipe. I was really just looking to follow a recipe for a paleo-friendly focaccia to satisfy a very random craving that I was sure would not come along again anytime soon. But as I started searching the internets for an easy, paleo-friendly, no rise, and also dairy free focaccia, I realized that this was not going to be a mere search and click away. So, after three different google searches, at least 23 search pages later, and this craving not relenting, I finally decided to step away from the computer and just create my own recipe.
After a few very unsuccessful attempts, I decided to just build off my tried and true Paleo Bread recipe. And voila a focaccia was baked! I will say that, I think at least, this is a very delicious and still satisfying, reminiscent version of a legit focaccia. To say that this tastes exactly like a gluten-filled & properly risen focaccia and you won’t even notice the difference would be an utter misrepresentation. Given the parameters I really just don’t think that’s even possible. Hence the name, Faux-caccia. It’s a fake. But one made in only 1 bowl, takes at most 30 mins from start to finish and uses only good-for-you and nutrient dense ingredients, I think it’s a very good replacement. Plus it makes for a very delicious sandwich. And no doubt, I’ll be making this again very soon.

    Hey Dafna, great recipe!! Made it for the first time tonight. Made a few alterations as per our diet and lack of ingredients. I used Aquafaba instead of eggs, and nutritional yeast instead of flax. Came out awesome. After baking for 20 min I brushed on piri piri sauce and put on sliced Cherry tomatoes and faux feta, and Italian spices. Definitely keeping your recipe as a staple. Many thanks!
