— Angel Food
Ingredients:
For the initial gel:
410g Cold water
50g EVO oil
15g Fresh baker's yeast
20g Psyllium powder
Make the gel: Pour the water over the psyllium and crumbled yeast, add the extra virgin olive oil, and whisk vigorously until you obtain a smooth, lump-free batter. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes, until it forms a thick, compact gel.
Meanwhile, combine the powders in a bowl and mix slowly with a whisk. Sifting is not necessary.
Combine all the ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer and begin kneading using the dough hook (or paddle attachment) on medium speed. Occasionally, with the mixer stopped, scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula, bringing the dough back to the center. It's important to knead the dough thoroughly to obtain a smooth, homogeneous mixture, naturally free of lumps.
Transfer the dough to a table, knead it briefly with your hands, and shape it into a loaf, dusting it with rice starch. Divide the loaf into 9 pieces and roll each piece with the palms of your hands until it forms a smooth, crack-free ball.
Using your fingertips, flatten the ball until it is about a centimeter thick. Place it on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and cover it with cling film or plastic wrap lightly greased with oil or a release spray to make it easier to remove once it has risen.
Let it rise as indicated, then carefully remove the film to avoid tearing the surface of the product and bake, adjusting the time and temperature if you have chosen different shapes or sizes.
Remove the focaccia from the oven and (optional) brush the surface with extra virgin olive oil. Let cool.
You can freeze the product for up to 30 days from the production date, or consume it within 2 days, storing it in a tightly closed airtight container at room temperature.
Please note that the indicated baking times and temperatures may vary depending on factors such as the type of equipment used, product sizes, etc., and that the liquids specified in the recipe may need to be adjusted according to the hydration level of the flours and starches used.
Tips & tricks:
Fresh baker's yeast can be replaced with 1/3 of the weight in dried yeast, i.e. for 15g you will use 5g.
When preparing the gel, immediately whisk the ingredients together to avoid lumps forming!
Create steam in the oven by spraying the sides of the oven with a little water using a spray bottle. Alternatively, place a shallow bowl on the bottom of the oven and pour boiling water into it just before baking.
You can flavor the focaccia with herbs or other ingredients. For example, after brushing the focaccia with oil, sprinkle the surface with coarse salt, chopped rosemary, etc.

Can I make the recipe without Angel ZERO?
For doughs such as those used for croissants, puff pastry, or bread, the answer is no: leaving out Angel ZERO completely compromises the final result, risking wasted time and ingredients.
For simpler doughs, you can try replacing Angel ZERO with another ingredient, but the result will never be the same.
With croissant dough or puff pastry, what else can I make?
Our recipes are intended as starting points, designed to help you develop your own customized solutions or to create a wide variety of other products.
With croissant dough, you can prepare Danish pastries, Pain au chocolat, sweet or savory filled pastries, and more. With puff pastry, you can make mini pizzas, cream horns, savory pies, vol-au-vent, and many other preparations.
What can I dust my work surface with to prevent the dough from sticking?
For laminated doughs, such as puff pastry, croissants, etc., it is IMPERATIVE to use rice starch, tapioca starch, or potato starch, in that order. Avoid using flour of any type or grain size, as it alters the composition of the dough, making it dry and creating micro-cracks on the surface.
For bread, pizza dough, etc., it is recommended to use any type of starch, but it is also possible to use very fine grain glutenfree flour.
In any case, it is recommended to use only the amount strictly necessary for the preparation and to remove the excess, especially when preparing puff pastry doughs.
Why don't you use cornstarch in recipes?
Because we want to offer an alternative to the usual ready-to-use industrial mixes, which are largely composed of corn starch.
Proposing recipes based on this same ingredient would be inconsistent with our vision.
Of course, those who prefer can substitute cornstarch for potato starch. It's a cheap and easy-to-find ingredient, but it tends to dry out the products more quickly.
Do I need a mixer?
Yes, while it's possible to prepare the dough by hand or with household appliances, it's highly recommended to use a mixer, even a non-professional one, as long as it's powerful enough to properly prepare the dough.
