Fast Foccacia!

I decided to make a big salad for dinner, but needed something to go along with it.  I made pizza last week and had dough left over in the fridge ( I always make 2 at a time)…perfect for a some quick foccacia!  Since I was just making it for myself, I used only half of the dough but the recipe below uses 1 whole pizza dough.  I also used dried spices that I had on hand but I know this would be even better using fresh ingredients.  The idea for this come to me from an herbed foccacia bread I usually make around the holidays that everyone loves.  You can serve it as a quick delicious appetizer or just a snack.  This recipe is something I just created on a whim with ingredients that were in my kitchen, but the options are endless & can be customized to your liking!

Ingredients:

1 refrigerated pizza dough (I used a homemade whole wheat dough)
1 Tbsp chopped rosemary
1 Tsp ground thyme
1Tsp ground sage
1 1/2 Tsp sea salt
1/4 cup grated mozzarella or parmesan cheese

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees & coat a rimmed baking sheet with non stick spray


Roll out dough and place onto greased baking sheet.  Sprinkle rosemary, thyme, sage & sea salt over the dough.  Bake for 8-10 mins then remove & add the grated cheese.  Bake for 5 more mins, until cheese has melted.  Remove & cut into triangles. (Makes approx 30 triangles) Enjoy!

  3. The only problem, I have, is to have dough on hand. I will make the foccacia and double the recipe.
