Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough:

  • 1 3/4 cups almond flour
  • 4 oz plain Greek yogurt
  • 4 oz unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 oz olive oil
  • 4 medium eggs
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp xanthan gum
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

For the Topping:

  • 1 tbsp dried rosemary
  • 1 tsp flaky salt
  • 1 oz olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven and Baking Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line an 8×12 inch baking pan with baking paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the baked dough.
  2. Mix the Dairy and Fats: In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 oz plain Greek yogurt, 4 oz softened unsalted butter, and half of the olive oil (1/2 oz). Use an electric mixer at high speed to whisk the mixture until smooth and well blended.
  3. Add Eggs: With the mixer running, add 4 medium eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next, helping to create a smooth and airy dough.
  4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients and Make the Dough: Fold in 1 3/4 cups almond flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 1/4 tsp xanthan gum, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder into the wet mixture. Gently knead until a cohesive, pliable dough forms without overworking it.
  5. Shape and Season the Dough: Transfer the dough into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Drizzle remaining 1/2 oz olive oil over the surface, then sprinkle 1 tbsp dried rosemary and 1 tsp flaky salt evenly on top.
  6. Bake the Bread: Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the focaccia is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and let the focaccia cool slightly in the pan. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature as desired.

Notes

  • Ensure eggs are at room temperature for better dough incorporation.
  • Use unsalted butter to control the saltiness of the bread.
  • Do not overmix the dough to maintain a light texture.
  • Adjust rosemary quantity to preference for stronger or milder herb flavor.
  • Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
  • Reheat slices in a toaster oven or skillet to restore crispness.
