Quick & Easy Focaccia

Let prepared pizza dough rise once, either on the counter for a few hours or in the fridge for a day or two.

Pour about 1/2 cup of the oil into the bottom of a rimmed baking sheet, 10×13 or so (I used a quarter sheet pan). Roll dough around in the oil, and stretch it until it nearly fits the baking sheet.

Place flattened dough in the center of the baking sheet and drizzle remaining oil on top. Sprinkle salt over the entire surface of the dough.

Place focaccia in a warm place to rise for about 2 hours or until doubled in size and spread to the edges of the sheet pan. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 425ºF.

When dough has risen, bake focaccia for 15–20 minutes until puffy and browned on top. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes, then remove carefully from the baking sheet and slice as desired. Sprinkle with the fresh herbs if using.

Serve warm with extra salt, oil and balsamic for dipping, or on the side of your favorite soup. Enjoy!
