The gluten-free yogurt focaccia is perfect to enjoy just as it is, ideal for accompanying meals at the table instead of bread but is also perfect for being filled. Simple, delicious, the gluten-free yogurt focaccia is the perfect solution for those who are celiac, for those like me who are intolerant, but also for those who want to experiment with different tastes using natural flours.

Tools

Steps
In a bowl, mix the rice flour, buckwheat flour, cornstarch and psyllium husk. In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in the water with the sugar. In the stand mixer bowl, pour the Greek yogurt, the water with the yeast, and mix, then add the flours. Work the mixture with the paddle until it starts to bind: it will look hydrated and sticky. Finally, add the salt and oil, and mix well to blend all the ingredients. Transfer the obtained dough into a bowl and let it rise for two hours. You won’t get a perfect doubling, but you will still see a soft dough grow. After resting time, transfer it into a 12-inch pizza pan and spread it with slightly oiled hands. Let it rest for thirty minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the emulsion by mixing all the ingredients in a small bowl. Bake the focaccia in a preheated oven at 390 °F (200 °C) for 25/30 minutes. Serve the focaccia still warm.
Notes
It keeps at room temperature for a couple of days wrapped in plastic wrap.
