A simple and delicious Focaccia Pizza recipe that uses focaccia bread as the base, topped with your favorite sauce, cheese, and toppings, then baked until the cheese is perfectly melted and bubbly. This easy pizza variation combines the chewy texture of focaccia with classic pizza flavors for a quick and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 large focaccia bread (about 12x12 inches)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Sauce

  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce

Cheese

  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Toppings

  • Your choice of pizza toppings (e.g., sliced pepperoni, bell peppers, mushrooms, olives, onions; about 1 cup total)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the focaccia bread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Drizzle the focaccia with olive oil and spread it evenly over the surface.
  2. Add Sauce: Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the focaccia bread, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
  3. Layer Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce to cover the surface.
  4. Add Toppings: Arrange your chosen toppings evenly over the cheese layer to ensure every slice has flavor and texture.
  5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden around the edges.
  6. Serve: Remove from the oven, allow it to cool for a few minutes. Slice the focaccia pizza and serve warm for the best taste.

Notes

  • You can customize toppings to your preference, using vegetables, meats, or vegan alternatives.
  • Ensure the focaccia bread is fresh or lightly toasted beforehand for better texture.
  • Use a high-quality mozzarella for the best melting and flavor.
  • Leftover focaccia pizza can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in the oven for a few minutes.
