This gluten free potato onion focaccia bread is so easy and quick to make!
It's yeast free and vegan, topped with delicious sweet red onions and soft potatoes.
Slice it into small squares for a great gluten free appetizer!
I have used an homemade mix of gluten free flours, in particular brown rice and sorgum flours, that gives this focaccia bread a more rustic taste.
I love how the baked sliced potatoes become almost creamy and the sweetness of the red onion.
Also, I love to add extra onions on top, after sauteing them in a pan with a little oil, salt and pepper!
And for an extra layer of flavor, sprinkling the top with crumbled vegan ricotta or feta, is a great addition.

Cooking and baking in grams
I cook and bake in grams as they are more accurate (than cups) when measuring ingredients. This is especially important when it comes to gluten free and vegan recipes.
Also, I weigh both dry and wet ingredients in grams and most of the time I share one- or two-bowl recipes, to make everything easier for you.
A simple affordable kitchen scale is definitely a useful and worthy investment for your gluten free cooking.
So you will simply need to place the bowl on the scale and weigh ingredients as you go!

Ingredients
For the focaccia bread
- 200 grams gluten free brown rice flour
- 200 grams gluten free sorghum flour
- 100 grams gluten free potato starch
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 400 grams lukewarm water
- 4 tablespoons olive oil (1 for the batter + 3 for greasing)
For the topping
- 1 medium potato

Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven at 190 C° / 380 F°
- In a bowl mix well the rice and sorghum flour, the starch, baking powder and salt
- Add the water and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the dry ingredients and whisk thourougly until you have a smooth uniform dough
- With a mandoline slice thinly the potato and the onion
- Generously grease the baking pan with a 2 tablespoons of olive oil and add the focaccia dough onto the pan, spreading it evenly (the olive oil will probably cover the borders, it's totally fine, it will make the focaccia more crunchy)
- Top the batter with the sliced onion and potato, add finely chopped fresh rosemary, a generous drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until it is golden brown
- I love to add extra onions on top, after slicing them and sauteing them in a pan with a little oil, salt and pepper

Loved it. Bit of a trick finding the right pan. Only made half, since we are two. Onion on top is brill.
