Onion-Herb Focaccia

By Addie

I made bread! Well, sort of. I used pizza dough. But for someone who has a fear of dough and yeast, this is a great first step. Baby steps, baby steps. This was such an easy and fun bread to make. My daughters got in the act and helped me make it. Me and my girls really love eating bread...a little too much if you know what I mean. Let's just say this pan of bread didn't last long. It was AWESOME!!! I know if you make this, your family will think you're AWESOME!!!

Ingredients

• HERB OIL:
• 1 pound refrigerated pizza dough or make your own
• ...................................
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1/2-1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1/2-1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• Sea salt to taste
• ...................................
• Sliced onion
• Shaved Parmesan cheese

Preparation

Step 1

On a floured surface, roll out 1 pound of refrigerated pizza dough (my grocery store sells pizza dough in the bakery section) into a 10 x 15 inch rectangle. Press into an oiled rimmed baking sheet. (I used olive oil) Mix 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons chopped rosemary and/or oregano (I used both), 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes and a big pinch of sea salt. Brush half of this herb oil over the dough, then set aside until puffy, about 1 hour. Make dimples in the dough with your fingers and top with thin slices of onion and shaved parmesan.


Bake at 400 degrees until golden, about 20 minutes. Brush with remaining herb oil.
