"I love this bread! When we lived in Minnesota there was a restaurant nearby that served focaccia sandwiches on a bread just like this. They were great. This is my favorite TV bread. Give me a slab of focaccia and a little marinara or olive oil and the game just got better. Its a good thing this is easy to make." - Dennis Weaver

Simple Focaccia Thin Crust Pizza Recipe
This recipe makes two 14-inch thin crust pizzas. The dough will be 1/16 to _-inch thick. The crust will double in rising and baking. If you want a thinner crust pizza, use a 15-inch pan. You can always use a rectangular pan or baking sheet or use a stone or make one round and square or form and bake them one at a time.
If two 14-inch pizzas are too much, you have two options. Save half the dough for the second pizza in the refrigerator for up to five days. When you get ready to make your second pizza, let the dough warm at room temperature for two or three hours.
The other alternative is to make one pizza and make a focaccia bread from the other half.
This is made with fresh tomatoes and thinly sliced green peppers. Make yours with whatever you like. Most thin-crust pizzas use only a modest amount of toppings.
Yield: Makes 2 14-inch pizzas
Baking Time: 15 Minutes
Ingredients (For the Crust)
- 1 Prepared Pantry Focaccia Mix
- 2/3 cup water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1/4 cup water at 110 to 115¡F
Ingredients (For the Toppings)
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- The seasonings in the packet that comes with the mix
- 2 cups, more or less, good quality tomato sauceÑa pizza or pasta sauce
- 10 thinly sliced rings from a large bell pepper
- 8 small tomatoes, 1 1/2 to 2 inches in size, sliced thinly
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan
- 4 ounces grated mozzarella
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400¡F.
- Grease the pans with shortening or vegetable oil. Sprinkle with cornmeal if desired.
- Mix the dough according to package instructions using the oil and water set forth above. You may use your stand-type mixer or bread machine on the dough setting. When the dough is mixed, divide it in half.
- Press half of the dough into each pan. ItÕs easier to get a nice, smooth crust and get the dough all the way to the edges of the pans with a pizza roller. Cover with plastic wrap or place in proofing bags for an hour.
- While the dough is relaxing, mix the seasonings with the oil.
- When the dough has relaxed, dimple each pizza with your fingers as shown. The dimples should be a couple of inches apart.
- Drizzle half of the oil and seasoning mixture over each pizza dough. Spread it with a pastry brush.
- Spread half of the tomato sauce over each pizza. On top of the sauce, spread half of the tomato slices on each pizza. Top each pizza with five of the pepper slices.
- Dust each pizza with grated parmesan and sprinkle each with half the mozzarella.
- Bake the pizzas for 15 minutes. The crusts should be a deep, golden brown. Serve hot.
