Herbed Focaccia

Serves 4

Baking Temperature: 425 degrees

Time: 15 to 20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1/2 pizza dough recipe
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 2 plum tomatoes, sliced thin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Coat a 13 by 9-inch sheet pan with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Spread out the pizza dough to fit the sheet pan.

In a small bowl mix together the Italian seasoning and remaining olive oil. Brush the olive oil all over the top of the dough, making sure to reserve about 2 teaspoons. Using your fingers poke dimples about halfway down into the dough. Bake in the hot oven for about 8 minutes.

Remove the focaccia from the oven and brush with remaining 2 teaspoons of the oil mixture. Return to the oven and bake until the focaccia is gold brown, about 15 to 20 minutes. Cut into squares and serve warm.
