Oh Focaccia…how we love thee, at least a gluten-free version! Needing to invent the wheel for a “vessel” in which we could scoop our bruschetta and other favorite dips, we have used this well known herbed bread and transformed it into a crunchy focaccia-like cracker.

We’ve kept the dough simple to make. You can literally combine everything in your mixer with a dough hook attachment and be done. It’s truly that easy.

Using yeast, ensure that it’s a ‘quick-rise’ and not traditional yeast or you’ll have trouble. We’ve also used honey to replace any refined sugars or sweeteners.

Alright, lets get mixing! You can either add the herbs right into the mixer along with all the dough ingredients or you can sprinkle them on after. The end result tastes similar but will be personal preference. We’ll show you pictures of what both routes will look like!

Once your dough is made, it’s time to get rolling. Be sure to flour your surface with CUT flour and the rolling pin too! This will help your dough roll smooth.

After rolling the dough to approx 1/4″ thick, you’ll brush with butter and at this point, if you haven’t added the herbs, sprinkle them on too along with the parmesan cheese.

If you added the herbs in the beginning and mixed them in the dough, then just brush with butter and sprinkle with shredded parmesan cheese.

Simply then cut into squares and transfer to a greased cookie sheet. We also recommend a sprinkling of salt before your crackers go into the oven. Be daring and maybe try a crunch or nutritious punch we didn’t add in these pictures like chili peppers, flax, chia or sesame seeds. You can’t really go wrong. Our goal at CUT is to empower everyone in their own kitchen. You can do it!
