Homemade Focaccia Bread Pizza
What’s not to like about a pizza starring homemade pizza dough? I’m taking the Do It Yourself deliciousness one action further by kicking the crispy crust to the curb in favor of the supreme homemade focaccia bread.
The star of the show here really is the base of this easy, cheesy pizza. The fuss-free focaccia comes together in minutes and offers the ideal blank canvas for all of your preferred pizza garnishes.
The thicker focaccia crust can manage an entire lot-o-toppings. So either keep it simple with homemade marinara sauce and tons of fresh mozzarella or pile on the pepperoni, fresh veggies and extra cheese.
