Ingredients
  

Main
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 packet 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup pizza sauce
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil
  • Optional toppings: pepperoni bell peppers, olives, onions, etc.

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper (optional)
  • Oven mitts

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
  2. Add flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Stir until a rough dough forms.
  3. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a towel, and let it rise for 30 minutes in a warm spot.
  5. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
  6. After rising, punch down the dough and transfer it to the baking sheet. Gently stretch it to fit the shape of the pan.
  7. Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border. Top with shredded mozzarella and your choice of toppings.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the edges are golden and the cheese is bubbly.
  9. Let the focaccia pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing.
