Focaccia Crust Pizza #PizzaWorld

Has pizza night ever moved from a bunch of boxes in the family room to the kitchen— with yeasty focaccia dough, and some prepared toppings do the talking? Some of you may find this surprising, making pizza with focaccia bread.

Focaccia Bread Ingredients:

2 ¾ cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon rapid-rising yeast
1 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
2 tablespoon olive oil
¾ cup warm water

Procedures:

1. Mix dry ingredients (flour, yeast, sugar, salt, oregano and garlic) in a large bowl.

2. Combine olive oil and water. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the water in. Gradually stir in the flour mixture until it is fully incorporated.

3. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic. The dough should spring back after poked.

4. Place the dough into an oiled bowl, cover with a towel and place in a warm place for about 45 minutes, or until doubled in size.

5. Mold the dough according to the size you want, the top with your favorite toppings.

6. Bake in a preheated oven until cooked.

It’s important to have a variety of toppings, because you want everyone to be able to make their dream pizza—the more toppings the better.

Toppings: Diced zucchini tossed with olive oil and salt, halved grape tomatoes tossed with garlic, olive oil and salt, pizza sauce, ricotta cheese mixed with parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese and a pinch of nutmeg, diced onions, mushrooms (portabella and button), turkey blue cheese, arugula and artichoke pesto, fresh herbs (thyme and basil), prosciutto, turkey Italian sausage, turkey pepperoni, mozzarella, truffle oil or it depends on your taste.
