NEW! Gluten-Free Chicago Dog Focaccia


Hot dogs on focaccia?! Trust me on this one.

While I was food styling for a Chicago dog shoot a few weeks ago, I had a wild idea: what if all those classic toppings—yellow mustard, relish, peppers, onions, and poppy seeds—were baked right into my gluten-free focaccia dough?

Say hello to Episode 8 of my Gluten-Free Focaccia Series: Gluten-Free Chicago Dog Focaccia! 🌭🍞

We're talking:
✅ Same-day gluten-free focaccia dough — just one rise
✅ Crosshatched hot dogs
✅ Poppy seeds all over (for that poppy seed bun style)

✅ 100% celiac-safe and totally delicious

📝 NOTE: This recipe uses Caputo Fioreglut Gluten-Free Flour, which contains gluten-free wheat starch. It’s tested to be safe for people with celiac disease (under 20ppm), but not suitable if you have a wheat allergy. I tested this recipe with many gluten-free flours, and nothing came close to the airy, chewy texture of Caputo Fioreglut.
