Keto Focaccia Bread

Raiden Walker

Report

Keto focaccia is topped with rosemary sprigs and sea salt flakes and tastes incredible dipped in olive oil. Serve it alongside an Italian meal or as a panini sandwich. Freezes well and toasts well.

Instructions

Proof your yeast by adding it to the warm water (40C/105F) together with the inulin. Cover and put in a warm place for around 7 minutes to ensure it starts to bubble.
Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl – almond flour, unflavoured whey protein powder, baking powder, xanthan gum and set aside.
Beat the egg and the two additional egg whites in a food processor or in a bowl with an electric mixer until frothy, about 2 minutes.
Add the olive oil, water/yeast mix and the flour mix to the eggs and continue mixing until well-combined. A sticky dough will form.
Line a 25 x 15 cm casserole dish with parchment paper. Dip a spatula in water to prevent sticking and spread the dough evenly. Make indentations in the dough with your fingers and spread fresh rosemary and sea salt over the dough.
Cover with a tea towel and rest in a warm place (on a radiator, for example, or in the oven on the lowest setting) for 45 minutes to 1 hour until the dough has fluffed up and increased in size noticeably.
Preheat the oven to 180 Celsius / 350 Fahrenheit and bake for 25 minutes. After 10 minutes place an aluminium foil lightly on top of the dish to avoid excessive browning.
Allow to cool before slicing as the texture will improve. Toast if you wish, and enjoy with a drizzle of olive oil.

You can replace the whey protein powder with 2 tablespoon psyllium husk (or 1 tablespoon psyllium husk powder). This is what I used in my first attempt at this recipe. The result is a little firmer, but also very good.

** I like to use inulin to proof the yeast. You can also use honey or even sugar. Don’t worry – none of the sugar will be present post bake. The yeast "feeds" on the sugar.
