Easy Focaccia Pizza: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 50 minute

Ingredients

– 4 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
– 2 teaspoons salt
– 1 tablespoon sugar
– 1 ¾ cups warm water (about 110°F or 43°C)
– ¼ cup olive oil (plus more for drizzling)
– Fresh herbs (e.g., rosemary, thyme, or oregano) for topping
– Sea salt for sprinkling
– Optional toppings: sliced tomatoes, olives, cheese, or pepperoni


Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your own Easy Focaccia Pizza:

1. Activate Yeast: In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5–10 minutes until frothy.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
3. Combine Ingredients: Once the yeast mixture is frothy, add the olive oil. Gradually mix in the flour until a sticky dough forms.
4. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
6. Prepare Baking Sheet: Grease a large baking sheet with olive oil.
7. Shape the Dough: Once risen, gently punch down the dough and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet. Use your fingers to spread it into a rectangle, about ½ inch thick.
8. Second Rise: Cover the dough again and let it rise for another 20 minutes.
9. Preheat Oven: While the dough is rising, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
10. Add Toppings: After the second rise, use your fingers to create dimples in the dough. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt and fresh herbs. Add any optional toppings you desire.
11. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown.
12. Cool: Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing.

These steps ensure a delightful Easy Focaccia Pizza that is sure to impress.
