FAQs

Can I use a different type of gluten-free flour?

Yes, you can try other gluten-free flours, but make sure they are suitable for baking to achieve the right texture.

How do I know if my yeast is active?

Your yeast is active if it foams up after combining it with warm water and sugar. If it doesn’t foam, it may be dead, and you should use fresh yeast.

Can I make this focaccia in advance?

Absolutely! You can prepare the dough ahead of time, let it rise, and then bake it just before serving for the best texture and flavor.
