Earlier in the week I posted a photo, on Facebook, of the pizza I made using my Focaccia bread recipe as the crust. This generated so many comments, and a few questions, that I thought I would compile all the components into one easy post.
Crust:
Cheese Focaccia – this is the most durable pizza crust I have ever made (of course I wasn’t even trying to make pizza crust, but inspiration struck once it was made.)
Sauce
Tomato Sauce – I like to use the same sauce I use for a spaghetti squash or zucchini lasagne. If you like a plainer sauce for pizza you could leave out the onion and garlic.
Toppings
Use your favorites.
My standard:
Peppers (I use the frozen green, yellow, red mix)
onion
pineapple
bacon (usually turkey bacon, but sometimes regular)
provolone, Parmesan, and a little sharp cheddar cheese
fesh basil
olive oil
Preparation:
Cook the focaccia ahead of time according the recipe directions.
Prepare the sauce according to recipe directions – you can keep in the refrigerator for about 2 days before you are ready to use it.
When you are ready to make the pizza:
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees
Chop the bacon into small pieces
Fry until crispy
Add about a tablespoon of olive oil to a medium pan
Add the onions, peppers, and pineapple
Saute until the onions are translucent and everything is hot
Place the focaccia on a baking sheet (you can use half or the whole thing depending on how much pizza you want)
Lightly brush with a little olive oil
Spread sauce over crust
Top with peppers, onions, pineapple, and bacon
Top with desired amount of cheese
Bake for 12 – 14 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly
Remove pizza from oven and allow to cool for 4 – 5 minutes
Top with fresh basil
