My Favorite Pizza Dough makes another appearance today as Rosemary Parmesan Foccacia. This is even easier than pizza. Again, I recommend a bread machine. Use it to mix and knead the dough only. Baking is always done in a conventional oven.
Ingredients for Dough:
- 1 cup water, warm
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 2 1/4 t. bread machine yeast
Directions:
Add ingredients to bread machine in order given. Run the dough cycle. Take bread out of machine and place on floured board. Divide in half and form into two smooth balls. Let rest approximately 10 minutes.
Spray deep dish pizza pan with olive oil. Or you can brush bottom of pan with olive oil. Place dough in pan and flatten with your finger tips. (Using a roller will tend to compact your crust.)
Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, then approximately 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary and freshly ground pepper. Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan Cheese on top.
Bake at 425 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
This is great with pasta. Also good for sandwiches.

Yum. This could get me into trouble.
The focaccia bread looks delicious. Makes me want to get out my breadmaker and see if it will work
