I made this as a trial run for bruschetta that I am making for a party on Saturday night (my 40th…woo, hoo!)…OMG…this is best thing I’ve eaten a quite a while!!! Today I split it in half and toasted up panini sandwiches with chicken breast, pesto and fresh mozzerella on my sandwich press for lunch and for dinner we used it as a base for pizzas, it was so nice and crispy for a crust. I usually don’t eat “bread” twice in one day but this was so yummy I couldn’t resist!!! I also made a sample of the White Bruschetta for the pary and it was simply divine!!! I used golden flax meal and the color was very nice although I do like the dark color of Elanas which I will use for the brushcetta when I make the next batch…no chance of any being left out of this one.
Elana says
Andrea, it’s so great to hear this was the best thing you’ve eaten in quite a while!
Melissa Secrest says
Hi. I just wanted to share a “variation” of this recipe. I didn’t have enough flax for the recipe so I used 1 1/2 cups of flax and 1/2 cup of blanced almond flour. I cut it in squares 3 in. squares, then in half (open the bread up), then toasted to use as hamburger buns. They were amazing! We have been living without buns since going gluten free and my husband swears these are better than a ‘real’ hamburger bun. The color of the bread (with the almond flour mixed in) is even close to the color of ‘real’ buns. So delicious!
Thank you for such a great recipe.

June says
This is now our favorite bread! I liked Melissa’s suggestion to cut into large squares and use for a bun and it was great…the texture was very much like a bun. I used golden flax which is milder and some almond flour as she suggested.
Later I made raisin bread and it was very good also. I added cinnamon, raisins and vanilla…substituted grapeseed oil for olive oil and increased the agave to 3 T.
Thank you for another great recipe!
Britt Sondreal says
Hi, Elana!
Your website & cookbook are regular go-to resources for me, I’m so grateful for all you’ve done in figuring out these fantastic recipes!
I’m a ten year-plus IBS-er, but I also just love healthy eating and really admire the way your work encourages nutritious alternatives.
This focaccia/bruschetta recipe looks lovely–I’m curious to know if you’ve ever experimented with a GF/DF baguette? Most recipes & store-bought GF offerings have dairy, and I’d love to know if it’s possible to achieve something resembling a baguette with either almond or coconut flour.
Thanks again for all you do!
Britt
Elana says
Thanks Britt! I will let you know when I do :-)

Just ate my 3rd piece! So delicious! Definitely make it with the bruschetta. I also smeared avocado on top with a little salt. Love this recipe!

Thanks Rebekah! Glad you love this recipe :-)
Irina says
Hello Elana
First of all, I want to thank you for your wonderful site and the recipes that I’ve been using for about a year now. They are healthy, simple, just impeccable.
I have a question about the flex focaccia : do you think it would be possible to substitute baking soda + cream of tartar with the baking powder. I am not a big fan of cream of tartar.
Thank you much.
Irina
Elana says
Irina, I haven’t tried that so not sure, if you do please let us know how it goes!
Rebecca says
Have you tried freezing this bread? Wondered how it would survive the freezer.
Elana says
Rebecca, if you’d like to freeze this, wrap it in paper towels, then place it in a plastic bag and keep in the freezer for up to one month :-)
