I can't wait to dig in & taste it. I'm trying it with quinoa flour since it's what was available. Thanks for the other sub suggestions. The only other one my son could do is the sesame seeds. And I just did an olive oil, salt & pepper topping. Also had to do the corn-free version. I'd love to post this to my blog with the modifications.

I think almond meal and hazelnut meal are commercially available but the others would have to be made from scratch. If he can't tolerate nuts, you could try grinding pumpkin seeds or sesame seeds. I can't promise the texture will be the same, but if none of those will work you could try a high protein flour like chestnut, bean flour, or quinoa flour. I hope this helps. Keep in mind whatever ingredient you use will have an impact on the taste of the bread. Let me know how it works! -Sea Hi Kris,

Do you know of a suitable substitution for the sunflower seed meal? I found soybean meal, but he can't do either of those. Thanks! I would love to try this recipe with my son.

This recipe could easily be a quickbread rather than a yeast bread, but I'm partial to yeast and it is more standard for focaccia to have yeast rather than baking powder or soda. Hope this helps! Maybe some time I'll give a yeast-free adaption a whirl and get back to you. In the meantime, let me know if you try something with positive results. Also, check out my recipes for amaranth crepes or sorghum tortillas and millet tortillas as they are blissfully yeast free! -Sea RaeAnn, What I would do is look at a cornbread recipe that has 3 cups of flour (probably a combo of cornmeal and regular flour) and use the same amount of baking powder/soda that they use, possibly tweaking the liquids.

Sigh...any thoughts to replace it? This looks so good, but, my son cannot have yeast either. Sigh…any thoughts to replace it?
