Brush the hot focaccia with olive oil, to which you can add garlic, fresh herbs if desired. Let the focaccia cool, then cut into small pieces and serve.

Notes

Flour: Use a gluten-free self-raising flour blend as opposed to a gluten-free plain flour. This recipe has been tested with self-raising flour and using plain flour may not be successful.
Water: Make sure your water is warm and not hot water. If your water is hot, it will kill the yeast and your bread will not rise properly.
