Focaccia Bread (SCD)

Recipes for the Specific Carbohydrate Diet 

I've found it quite difficult to find bread recipes that actually taste wonderful.  I also found it quite difficult to find dry curd cottage (farmers) cheese to make some of the bread recipes I've seen that look so good!  Well, I finally found a recipe for the cheese (see the link in the ingredients below) and am going to start enjoying the breads made from it.  I love the consistency...much better than just making bread from almond flour alone.

Focaccia

I just made this today and it is a hit with Jaden...Jordan is okay with it.  It takes more like a wonderful biscuit to me...but it is good!

INGREDIENTS
Bread
2 cups (220 g) almond flour
7 ounces (200 g) dry curd cottage cheese (recipe can found here:  http://momskitchendesk.blogspot.com/2012/02/homemade-farm-cheese-or-dry-curd.html - I found it VERY easy to make!
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon coarse black pepper
1/2 cup (60 g) grated Cheddar cheese
3 eggs
3 tablespoons (40 g) butter, melted
2 scallion sprigs, finely sliced
Topping
1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
1 tablespoon (8 g) finely grated Cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
INSTRUCTIONS

(23- by 33-cm) baking dish.
To make the bread, mix together the bread ingredients in a food processor until well blended. Remove from the blender and spread out in the greased baking dish.
To make the topping, combine the topping ingredients and mix well. Sprinkle the topping on the bread.
Place in the oven and bake until the edges brown, 30 to 40 minutes.
Allow to cool and then cut into sandwich squares.
