Gluten Free Foccacia

This is one of my favourite gluten free breads and it is really simple to make. With gluten free breads there is no kneading required making it simple to prepare. The dough also makes a great pizza base too. You can top it with olives, tomatoes or sauteed onions. Perfect with soup or a warming stew.
