Is any Ezekiel bread gluten-free?

Most Ezekiel bread is made from sprouted wheat, barley, and spelt—so no, it’s not naturally gluten-free. But some brands are experimenting with gluten-free versions using sprouted lentils, millet, and rice. Just make sure the packaging clearly says “gluten-free,” because traditional Ezekiel won’t cut it for a GF diet.

Is there gluten-free focaccia?

Gluten Free Italian Bread: The Best 7 Crave-Worthy Recipes

Description

Rustic, crusty, and soft gluten-free Italian bread that’s perfect for sandwiches, soups, or simply with olive oil and herbs. This loaf delivers all the comfort and flavor without any gluten drama.

Ingredients

Scale

1 ½ cups white rice flour
½ cup tapioca starch
½ cup potato starch
1 tbsp psyllium husk powder (or 1 ½ tsp xanthan gum)
2 ¼ tsp instant yeast
1 ½ tsp salt
1 ¼ cups warm water (around 110°F)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp sugar
Optional: 1 tsp Italian seasoning
½ tsp garlic powder
Sesame seeds or rosemary for topping

Instructions

Mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until frothy.
Combine white rice flour, tapioca starch, potato starch, salt, and psyllium husk or xanthan gum in a bowl.
Stir in the activated yeast mixture, olive oil, and vinegar. Mix until smooth (the dough will be sticky).
Cover the bowl and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour until doubled in size.
Place dough on parchment paper and shape into a loaf with wet hands.
Let it rise uncovered for another 30 minutes while preheating oven to 425°F.
Top with sesame seeds, rosemary, or flaky salt if desired.
Bake for 35–40 minutes until golden and sounds hollow when tapped.
Let cool for 30 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Refrigerating dough after the first rise improves texture. Bake in a Dutch oven for an extra-crusty exterior. Letting the bread cool fully before slicing improves structure.
