Gluten Free Focaccia Mix - Rosemary & Thyme

How to Bake Your Bread/Focaccia

There’s nothing like freshly baked bread! Follow these simple steps and you’ll have a golden, chewy loaf in no time.

You’ll need:

• 1 pack of Focaccia/Bread Mix
• 300ml lukewarm water or plant milk
• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (for the batter)
• 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil (for drizzling on top)
• 1 tsp sea salt

Step-by-Step:

1. Activate the yeast (optional shortcut!): Empty the silver sachet into a small bowl with lukewarm water. Leave it to develop for a few minutes. Want to speed it up? Add 1 tsp sugar—the yeast will feed on it and get going faster! 🌱
2. Tip the focaccia mix into a large bowl. Add the water with the developed yeast (or just the water if you prefer the standard method).
3. Beat with a hand whisk until you have a smooth, thick batter. 💛
4. Stir in 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil until fully combined.
5. Add 1 tsp sea salt and mix again.
6. Line a 30cm x 20cm baking tray with parchment paper and brush lightly with oil.
7. Pour the batter evenly into the tray and drizzle 1 tsp olive oil on top.
8. Cover with a tea towel and leave in a warm spot to prove for 1 hour—or until it doubles in size. 🌱
9. Preheat the oven: 220°C fan / 210°C conventional. Bake for 30–45 mins, checking after 30 mins to make sure it doesn’t get too hard. 🔥
10. Remove from the tray, drizzle 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil, and sprinkle with sea salt.
11. Let it cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes. Slice, serve, and enjoy! 😋

Pro tip: Experiment with toppings—rosemary, olives, caramelized onions—because life’s too short for boring bread! 🌟

Buon appetito! 🍅🌿
