Tomato Basil Focaccia



Tomato Basil Focaccia


































Make your basic pizza dough...let it rise.  This one has tripled in size after an hour.



Oil a baking pan and spread the dough into it.  Flip the dough as you begin to spread it to oil both sides.  As you spread the dough poke it with your fingers to create the crevices that will hold all the flavor.

Now let it rise again in the pan...for about another hour.  Towards the end of that time, heat your oven to 450 degrees.
Sprinkle with S&P, then about a 1/4 cup of shredded cheese.  Layer fresh cut garden tomatoes, and fresh basil over the cheese.  Sprinkle with minced garlic and a few sliced onions.  Another seasoning of S&P and another 1/4 cup cheese.  A final drizzle of olive oil (or an infused oil...I used basil infused)

 Bake at 450 for about 25 mins.


Let cool in the pan for about 10 mins., then transfer to wire rack to cool a bit more.

Then slice and enjoy!
