Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 2 cups Almond Flour The main dry ingredient providing a nutty flavor and gluten-free structure.
  • 1 tbsp Baking Powder This leavening agent ensures the bread rises and stays light and fluffy.
  • 1 tsp Xanthan Gum A critical thickener and binder in gluten-free baking; no substitute recommended.
  • 1 tsp Salt Enhances the overall flavor of the focaccia.
  • 1 tsp Pepper Adds a hint of heat to balance the flavors.
For the Wet Ingredients
  • 3 large Egg Whites Beaten to stiff peaks for lift and structure in the focaccia.
  • 1 cup Whole Milk or Almond Milk Use for a smooth batter; almond milk is a dairy-free option.
  • 1/4 cup Olive Oil Adds moisture and richness; choose a good quality to prevent bitterness.
For Flavoring
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Rosemary Infuses an aromatic flavor; can be substituted with oregano if needed.
