Unlike the grain-based and carb-laden original foccacia you'll find at Italian trattorias, our Paleo and ketogenic focaccia bakes up just like the classic and contains:

An early prototype of modern pizza, focaccia is believed to be the delicious culinary creation of Ancient Romans dating back over 2,000 years.
The Romans called this flatbread panis focacius, with "panis" meaning bread and "focacius", derived from the Latin word "focus", or"hearth".
As this culinary tradition spread across Europe, numerous variations of the flatbread emerged.
Focacciaal rosmarino – or Rosemary Focaccia - is arguably the most popular version, with focaccia alla salvia (focaccia with sage) and Pizza Bianca (a white pizza) offering delicious and inventive twists on the classic.
And while modern civilization (and its many loved kitchen gadgets!) has certainly changed the way we bake, the classic preparation for focaccia remains largely the same.
The dough is created using a traditional yeast preparation. Prior to baking, the top of the flatbread is"dotted" with a finger or a utensil to make small wells. And, as away to preserve moisture, olive oil is drizzled or spread over the dough before going into the oven.
And while traditional focaccia is undeniably delicious,we’ve learned that this ancient food… isn’t quite ancient enough when it comes to our genes.
In fact, research shows our genetics haven’t changed much since Paleolithic times (over 10,000 years ago).
The result? Neolithic foods –like bread – can cause a wide variety of health issues, and even predispose us to early aging and disease.
But using our new and incredibly versatile Miracle Bread, we recreate the classic Roman focaccia using a unique mix of grain-free, ancestral ingredients that better suits our genes.
One of the star ingredients in our Miracle Bread is organic golden flaxseed, which not only provides delicious flavor and chew, but numerous health benefits to boot.
Here are some fun facts about flax:
Gandhi also believed in flax’s benefits and said:
In addition to golden flaxseed, our Miracle Bread also contains superfood almonds and fiber-rich psyllium.
This Paleo ingredient trio not only recreates the taste, texture (and smell!) of grain-based bread, but also helps you makeover all of your favorite bread-y creations into low carb, Paleo-friendly treats.
From Keto Cinnamon Rolls and Sticky Buns… to Thin Crust Keto Pizza and Italian Keto Breadsticks, there’s not much this miracle of a mix can’t do!
Using just a few simple ingredients, you can bring this fragrant, chewy, dip-worthy focaccia to your table… with just 15 quick minutes of prep time!
It’s perfect to serve with Italian meals like Bolognese with Zoodles… Keto Chicken Parmigiana… or a big bowl of Low Carb Zuppa Toscana.
While the yeast is recommended for the additional rise and classic flavor it brings, you can omit it, if you'd like.
To satisfy our own cravings for delicious (and truly healthy) bread, Wellness Bakeries set out to create a grain- and gluten-free, carb-conscious bread - that tastes just like the real thing.
Over the years, we tested dozens of formulas. Frankly, many were flops... some were good... a few were great... and ONE was clearly "The Best of the Best"!
Miracle Bread tastes so much like the bread you love, you'll never feel like you're missing out…
And because it’s made with functional, real-food ingredients, this divinely delicious (and nutritious) alternative has 90% fewer carbs than commercial loaf bread!
It’s also up for any preparation, including buns, baguettes and rolls... sandwich breads… pizza… calzones... and even sweet cinnamon rolls, sticky buns and decadent French toast!
And making a batch of Miracle Bread is easy. The active time is about five minutes (with no kneading or bread machine required).
You don’t have to choose between bread and your health… you just have to choose healthy bread!
Choose Miracle Bread, so you can have your bread… and be well too!™

For this recipe, you’ll need a deep mixing bowl, a silicone spatula, measuring cups, a hand mixer and two-9" cake pans or a large baking sheet (for a more free-form focaccia).
You’ll also need 1 Miracle Bread Mix, 3 pastured eggs, 6 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil (plus more for drizzling), 1/4 cup sour cream, yogurt or coconut cream, 1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar, active dry yeast and sweetener (if using the yeast preparation), as well as 6 fresh rosemary sprigs and some flaky sea salt (like Maldon) for topping.
Drizzle with 2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Transfer to preheated oven.
Bake 25-30 minutes to golden. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes; then finish cooling directly on the rack.

2 hoursYield: Two 8-inch Focaccias (16 slices)
Ingredients
Leavening Ingredients
½ cup filtered water (120 ml)
2 tsp. yeast (6 g)
2 tsp. inulin, maple syrup or honey (10 ml)*
Wet Ingredients
3 large pastured eggs (150 g)
4 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
¼ cup organic yogurt, sour cream, coconut cream (60 g)
1 Tbsp. organic apple cider vinegar (15 ml)
Dry Ingredients
Toppings
6 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
½ tsp flaky sea salt (like Maldon)
Instructions
1. Line two 8" round pans with unbleached parchment paper. Break rosemary sprigs into small clusters, removing the woody stems.
2. Add the yeast and sweetener* (maple syrup or honey) to a large bowl. Heat water to 105°F - 110°F (41°C - 43°C) and pour over yeast. Cover with a kitchen towel to bloom for 7 minutes. If yeast does not produce foam, start over.
3. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, vinegar, sour cream and olive oil.
4. Add the wet ingredients into the yeast mixture. Using a hand held mixer, beat to combine. Pour in the Miracle Bread Mix and beat on medium to fully combine.
5. Scrape batter into prepared pans. Wet your hands and smooth the batter. Use your fingers to make indentations. Put the rosemary sprigs in some of the holes. Drizzle with remaining olive oil.
6. Cover with a kitchen towel and place in a draft-free area to rise for 50 minutes. Your bread should rise to about 1 inch.
7. Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Sprinkle risen focaccia with flaky sea salt and transfer to the oven.
8. Bake 25-30 minutes.
9. Cool focaccia in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
*NOTE: Sweetener is used to feed the yeast. Once the yeast blooms, no sweetener remains.

Hi, we’re Kelley & Jon Herring… Welcome to our kitchen!
Wellness Bakeries was founded in 2006, with the mission to create the world’s healthiest and best-tasting gluten-free, carb-conscious, baking mixes.
Our goal was to make it easy for you to enjoy decadent desserts, chewy breads, crusty pizza, fluffy pancakes, crispy waffles and other sweet treats – that would not sour your health!
When we started this journey, there were no options for truly healthy baking mixes.
Everything was loaded with inflammatory grains, fake fats and sugar…or even worse, artificial sweeteners. We knew there had to be a better – and MUCH healthier – way.
So, with our backgrounds in health research, nutritional biochemistry and recipe development, we set out to use grain-free flours, healthy, slimming fats and natural no-sugar sweeteners to match the taste, texture and flavor of our favorite comfort foods.
At the time, very few people had even heard the term “gluten free.” There were no products to taste for inspiration and no recipe books to follow. It was all trial… and LOTS of errors.
Eventually, however, the experiments paid off. We discovered a few secrets. And then we made small, incremental improvements… perfecting one delicious product at a time.
And while it certainly wasn’t easy…
In 2008, Wellness Bakeries began offering our healthy baking mixes to the world.
And while our goal today is to make “healthy baking” easy for YOUR family… it all began with a desire to feed our family in a better way.
So, you can be sure that every Wellness Bakeries product is Kid-Tested & Mom Approved!

We’re so grateful for you taking the time to visit Wellness Bakeries.
We hope you enjoy our uniquely delicious products as much as we have enjoyed creating them for you. We truly appreciate your support!
"I love what you do. I am gluten intolerant and reducing sugar, so your products fill the bill perfectly. I started with the Chocolate Bliss, Carrot Cake, Chocolate Chip Cookies and Drinking Chocolate. I have enjoyed them all! There are a lot of gluten-free products, but it is hard to find products that are gluten-free and low glycemic. Keep coming up with recipes and new products… they’re great!"
— Bari H.
"I’ve been looking for products like yours for a long time. My family loves dessert, but I hate the thought of feeding them so much sugar. We tried desserts with artificial sweeteners, but my kids always responded YUCK! We made our first batch of your cupcakes last night. I’m so impressed! More importantly, my family LOVED them!"
— Karen W.
"Going grain-free and sugar-free has been a challenge. I was looking for ways to have a treat without blowing my new way of eating. I have tried your chocolate cake, chocolate chip cookies and ginger cookies. The texture in grain-free, sugar-free products is usually crumbly and mealy. But your products are exceptional! I will be trying new ones and reordering the ones I have already tried."
— Gina S.
"I love your baking mixes. When I decided to eat less gluten and sugar, I dreaded not being able to enjoy my favorite sweets. I tried some gluten-free products but none offered the right flavor and texture, until I found yours! I made the Chocolate Bliss cupcakes and they were soooo good. Didn't even get them frosted before they were gone! I don't recall how your website found me, but I’m sure glad it did!"
— Suzanne Z.
"I am so thankful for your products! I ordered Chocolate Bliss Cake and absolutely LOVE it! It is so nice to enjoy something sweet without the sugar crash of most desserts. I feel great when I eat this cake and I don’t even feel guilty!! I eat low-glycemic and paleo as much as possible. I just feel healthier and more energetic when I eat this way. I have not found anything that compares to your products!"
— Andrea H.
"I want to thank you for the delicious and OOOOH SOOOOOOO good for you desserts! I just tried them and was SO IMPRESSED with the taste, texture and, of course, clean ingredients! I am a drugless health practitioner and weight loss coach and have started sharing your website with my clients. Everyone needs to know about you! Thank you again for all you do and for offering such "wholesome" products!"
