INGREDIENT NOTES:
OLIVE OIL:
- It helps to provide an original focaccia flavor and a strong taste. You can se avocado oil instead as an alternative.
ALMOND FLOUR:
- It gives a structure like bread without increasing the carb content. As a replacement, we use coconut flour, but only with a third of the liquid.
ITALIAN SEASONING:
- We add rosemary or Italian seasoning to provide an aromatic flavor, and also fresh herbs in a similar amount.
MOZZARELLA:
- It gives a stretch and delivers a water content in this dish. You can utilize a low-moisture mozzarella, which will work perfectly to prevent the texture from becoming soggy.
PARMESAN:
- It improves the recipe’s flavor and textural hardness. Use pecorino or asiago as a substitute; both are good for a keto diet.
