  • That hydration is way too low. The recipe I use is 710g water and 850g flour which is over 83% hydration, your recipe is only 62.5% hydration. Even my normal bread recipe is higher hydration than that.

    Also it’s focaccia, you can’t swap out the olive oil that is the defining ingredient and you need a ton of it. The bread should essentially be frying in oil while cooking.












  • As a flavouring there are a number of things you can use. Flavoured oils are the easiest to use/find but don’t give a ton of flavour. I also find a lot of them taste pretty bad, Colavita garlic olive oil is the only one I buy. FreeFod makes FODMAP free onion and garlic powders that work a treat. Otherwise I mostly use a lot of green onion tops when I want onion flavour.

    I normally don’t have too many issues with the texture side, what kind of dishes does removing the onion cause problems? If you are blending the sauce and the onion is adding body, maybe look at different thickening options like xanthan gum.

    Lastly, Fodzyme makes a enzyme powder that works against various FODMAPs including Garlic and Onion. Its expensive, but worth it for eating out or the dish doesn’t work without the onion/garlic base.



  • I don’t know what it is but I’ll read my posts before posting and then come back later and it will have an obvious autocorrect error I missed.

    It pisses me right off how bad predictions have gotten on every keyboard. SwiftKey and Swype were damn near perfect at one point and now I swear it purposely chooses the wrong word.


  • I don’t really have a good suggestion for a general recipe search engine, but for the recipe storage I moved away from Yummly ages ago because they didn’t import everything within the app (which most commercial apps don’t due to copyright issues). I moved to Paprika which I used successfully up until recently where I moved to a self-hosted solution called Tandoor. Both work great as recipe storage solution.
