SERVES 2–4
1 store-bought focaccia flatbread loaf (or any pizza dough of choice)
Olive oil
Pizza sauce, store-bought or homemade
8–12 tomato slices (heirlooms or beefsteaks preferred) depending on size of focaccia
Dried oregano
1–2 cups grated mozzarella cheese
Freshly grated Parmesan, for sprinkling
Fresh basil, torn or roughly chopped, optional
Preheat oven to 450 F. Drizzle a rimmed baking sheet with a very light coating of olive oil and place the focaccia on the baking sheet. Drizzle with a little more olive oil and smear/brush with pizza sauce, if desired. Place the tomato slices on the top in an overlapping design and sprinkle with oregano. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes. Cover top of pizza with desired amount of mozzarella and bake an additional 5–10 minutes until cheese is melted and starting to brown slightly. Remove from oven and sprinkle with Parmesan. Garnish with basil, and slice.
