This grain-free focaccia has a light and airy texture! Topped with olive oil, basil, tomatoes, and spices, it’s ready in under 30 minutes! Recipe created in partnership with Bob’s Red Mill.
This is super exciting! My friends from Bob’s Red Mill launched a new Grain-Free Flatbread Mix and it’s very versatile! I’ve used it to make flatbread, croutons, crepes and, this amazing grain-free focaccia that I’m sharing with you today.
The mix is made with whole food ingredients and contains almond flour, cassava flour, coconut flour, arrowroot starch, tapioca starch, salt, cream of tartar, and baking soda. That’s it. Nothing funky!
To make grain-free focaccia with the flatbread mix, follow the directions as listed but use a high quality extra virgin olive oil. Mix it up, let sit for 5 minutes while you preheat the oven, prepare your baking dish, and wash some tomatoes and basil.
Grain-Free Focaccia Ingredients:
- Bob’s Red Mill Grain-Free Flatbread Mix
- Olive Oil
- Eggs
- Fresh Basil
- Grape Tomatoes
- Spices
Spread the dough out in your prepared baking dish and use wet fingers to make indents as you would with any focaccia recipe. Pour a bit of good olive oil over the top and gently tilt the baking dish from side to side to spread.
Next, place sliced tomatoes (I think cut side up looks best), basil leaves, and finish by sprinkling with the dried spices.
Pop into the oven and bake for 20 to 24 minutes until the top is golden brown. Allow to cool completely before cutting into squares and you have grain-free focaccia that is loaded with flavor and has a light and airy texture you won’t believe!
This grain-free focaccia recipe is PERFECT for Valentine’s Day at home this weekend! An idea to make it even more festive is to swap small pepperoni pieces for the tomatoes but cut them into heart shapes!
Some vegetarian options; slice olives in half and carve the halves so that when they fit together they look like hearts OR arrange pieces of sliced red roasted peppers into hearts shapes.
Either way, I know you are going to love this and I can’t wait to hear about it!
Recipe Tips:
- I recommend a 9″ square baking dish if you want to get 8 evenly sized squares. You can use another size dish (make sure it has sides) but you may not get the same amount of pieces.
- Allow the focaccia to cool completely before cutting. You can cool it directly in the baking dish but I recommend placing the baking dish on a cooling rack if you have one.
- Storage: Once cooled and cut, store the focaccia at room temperature on a plate loosely covered with tin foil for up to 36 hours. Alternately, once cooled, freeze in a single layer and then place into freezer storage bags for future meals.

Carol-Ann says
Hi Alyssa, this sounds lovely. I can’t eat tomatoes and was wondering if you think cut and pitted olive halves would be a good replacement – kalamata? something softer? thanks for any feedback you might have.
Best to you and your family,
Carol-Ann
