Notes
1. The focaccia can be frozen.
2. Oat Fibre is zero net carb and zero calories
3. Vital Gluten is high protein and low carb. Derived from the protein found in the endosperm of wheat this flour does contain gluten.
4. When activating yeast use blood temp water. Cold water will not activate the yeast and too hot will kill the yeast.
5. If making by hand ensure you knead for at least 7 minutes to activate the gluten.
