This gluten-free, grain-free, wholefood focaccia (with hidden veg!) is a crowd pleaser! Kid-approved and perfect for soaking up soups and stews!
My kids love to take this cold in their lunchbox. I have even made it with bacon on top, it makes a great replacement to the good old cheese + bacon covered rolls from the bakery which are full of additives, preservatives and synthetic vitamins.
I would love to hear what other toppings you come up with for this versatile bread. Be sure to let me know!
