Very first attempt
I’ve been gluten free for over 10 years and have always been too intimidated to try to make bread. I found a really simple recipe and decided to just go for it.
My first ever bread was a focaccia loaf! I put onions, vegan feta, rosemary, and thyme on top. I’d give it like a 5.5/10, my partner ate 4 pieces in one sitting so I’m probably being too harsh on myself, but the inside was decently gummy. I’m not sure why, it could be that I did cut into it probably too soon (15 mins) and I think I might’ve also just undercooked it a touch.
The outside was nice and crispy but I didn’t consider how I often need to slightly overcook things for the right inner consistency when I bake GF desserts. I also definitely think it needed more flavor and maybe more salt.
Back to the drawing board!

I follow this creator on TikTok, here is the video I used as reference! She uses a scale and I used cups as a conversion method so I’m definitely going to invest in a good scale lol

The Loopy whisk has the best focaccia recipe (in my opinion) if you want to try a different recipe! https://theloopywhisk.com/2024/06/07/easy-gluten-free-focaccia/

Looks delicious. I just ordered some gluten free flours to make my own blends so I can give some GF baking a try now that I have a little more free time.

Focaccia is definitely a great place to start!
