Best Gluten Free Focaccia Recipe (Dairy-Free) + Caramelized Onion and Easy Pizza Sauce

Best Gluten Free Focaccia Recipe

This is not the only gluten free focaccia recipe that I’ve tried or developed over the years, but I must say that this is the best gluten free focaccia I ever had. I enjoy it more than traditional focaccia. It is soft, tender, and flavorful. I’ve included links to the egg-free version as well as the yeast-free version. Continue reading “Best Gluten Free Focaccia Recipe (Dairy-Free) + Caramelized Onion and Easy Pizza Sauce”

Gluten Free Pesto Caesar Salad (Egg-Free)

Gluten Free Basil Caesar-Style Salad

A chef at the Pelicano’s restaurant at Hyatt Zilara Cancun created this twist on Caesar salad dressing as a solution for my citrus allergies. I fell in love with it and so has my family/guests. Traditional Caesar salad dressing contains lemon juice, olive oil, raw or coddled egg yolk, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and black pepper. This version contains only basil pesto sauce and a little additional olive oil. It is much more figure-friendly. This dressing is extremely easy to prepare and will impress your guests. You’ll hear reactions such as, “I never thought about this before!” and “I have plenty of pesto sauce at home!” and “It’s much healthier than Caesar dressing!” and even, “I like this better than Caesar salad!” Continue reading “Gluten Free Pesto Caesar Salad (Egg-Free)”

Gluten Free Sandwich Rounds – Bread Thins- Sandwich Thins (Egg-Free) + Video

Gluten Free Bread Rounds Sandwich

If I were served this sandwich made with these gluten free sandwich rounds in a restaurant, I truly would not be able to tell if they were gluten free or contained gluten. These are my new replacement for Schar’s gluten free baguettes and rolls. That’s all I can tell you is that the texture is perfect, the bread is pliable/bendable, and my sandwich was delicious!

Gluten Free Beer Focaccia (Dairy and Egg-Free)

Gluten Free Rosemary Beer Focaccia

While this site contains a few gluten free focaccia recipes, this gluten free Italian flatbread is special. I use beer to help it rise. You can season it as desired by adding herbs, cheese, or even veggies like sun roasted tomatoes. Then use a dipping sauce of choice or use it for sandwiches. Either way, this gluten free beer focaccia is delicious! Continue reading “Gluten Free Beer Focaccia (Dairy and Egg-Free)”

Gluten Free Garlic Herb Focaccia – Croutons – Bread Crumbs

Gluten Free Garlic Herb Focaccia Bread

While I already have a gluten free focaccia recipe on this site, I wanted to share my garlic herb version with you. You can use it to make bread crumbs, croutons, serve it as sandwich bread, or dinner bread. I like to cut each piece into three strips and serve them to dip in garlic-herb olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Yum! My husband also enjoys the sticks dipped in pizza sauce. Continue reading “Gluten Free Garlic Herb Focaccia – Croutons – Bread Crumbs”

Soft Gluten Free Garlic Naan – Oven-Baked or Stovetop

Oven-Baked Gluten Free Naan

Naan is the Indian version of flatbread. There are two versions, crisp/firm and the one I prefer, soft. The soft is to-die-for and is the only version I make! Everyone who has tried my skillet version raves about it. If you have a pizza stone, that version is even better! That’s all I make during the fall and winter. To avoid my kitchen from over-heating, I use the stovetop version during the summer months. Continue reading “Soft Gluten Free Garlic Naan – Oven-Baked or Stovetop”

Oven Baked Gluten Free Naan Recipe, Beef Stew and Mint Sauce

Chili Beef Stew, Gluten Free Naan & Sauce

I have been experimenting with my gluten free naan recipe for my upcoming cookbook. Meanwhile, I already have a recipe for a skillet version on this site. I have added a baked version to the skillet version and explore an additional option in my cookbook, which should be published this fall, Carla’s 125 Best Gluten Free Recipes (including some new recipes, not on this site.) Meanwhile, enjoy this delicious dish!

Gluten Free Indian Fry Bread (Navajo Flatbread)

Gluten Free Indian Fry Bread

Navajo fry bread was made by the Navajo Indians. Once other tribes began creating their own versions of the bread, it was known as Indian fry bread. Not all recipes for Indian fry bread contain yeast, but this version does. Some use cornmeal, while this one does not. I got the idea when a reader recently emailed me about how my gluten free pizza dough recipe (that you can make in a bread machine or not) turned out to be perfect for gluten free Indian fry bread. She doesn’t use a bread machine, but makes the dough by hand. You can do either. I have adjusted the recipe a bit if you just wish to try 1/3 of the pizza dough recipe. I used less egg white, a little more oil, a little more water, and a higher ratio of cornstarch for crispness. To my amazement, it was absolutely fabulous! I didn’t expect this Indian fry bread (actually a flatbread) to be appealing since it is a thicker dough than I am accustomed to using for what I consider American-Mexican food, but it was. Enjoy!
