Focaccia Dipping Sticks

By Addie

Use refrigerated pizza dough a whole new way in a family-frendly snack that's fun to make...and even more fun to eat.

MY NOTES: Use my own pizza dough to make this recipe. Use "Beth's Pizza Dough" would be fast and easy!

Ingredients

• 1 can (13.8oz.) refrigerated pizza crust
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/3 cup red bell pepper strips (1x1/8 inch)
• 3 tablespoons thinly slivered pitted ripe olives
• 1 tablspoon chopped fresh rosemary
• 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
• 1 cup tomato pasta sauce heated

Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Grease cookie sheet with shortening or cooking spray. Unroll dough onto cookie sheet into 14x9 inch rectangle. With fingertips, make indentations over surface of dough.


2. Drizzle oil over dough. Top with remaining ingredients except pasta sauce; press lightly into dough.


3. Bake 13 to 18 minutes or until golden brown. Cut facaccia in half lengthwise; cut each half crosswise into 14 sticks. Serve warm sticks with warm pasta sauce for dipping.

Expert Tip:

Use your hands to press the toppings gently into the dough so they don't fall off when you cut the sticks.
