Focaccia Pizza


No matter if you are moving, recovering after a night with friends, or taking a lazy day after your second vaccine shot, it’s good to have simple, low-maintenance recipes that you actually want to make and eat. This pizza is one of my go-to’s. The dough takes 15 minutes to form and is left to proof overnight (so you can prep ahead). Once proofed, all you have to do is spread it over a sheet pan, add your favorite toppings, and throw it in a 450 degree oven for about 10 minutes. I like my pizza with extra cheese and pepperoni, or even Margherita style. This is so good, you’ll be glad you made it!


Prep time: Dough/proofing - 8 hours, Assembly - 5 minutes

Cook Time: 15-20 minutes

The Goods:

3 1/2 to 4 cups of all purpose flour

1 tsp sugar

1 envelope instant dry yeast

2 tsp kosher salt

1 1/2 cups water, 110 degrees

2 tbsp EVOO, plus some for greasing pan

Pizza sauce to your liking

Cheese Blend

Toppings of your choice









The Method:

  1. Mix sugar and yeast into water and let sit for 12 minutes to activate.

  2. In a stand mixer fixed with a dough hook, add the flour, salt, and two tbsp of EVOO.

  3. Slowly pour in the water and yeast mixture; turn mixer to medium speed.

  4. Once the dough ball forms, stop immediately. If the dough is too dry, add a small amount of water, a little at a time, if too wet add 1 tsp of flour at a time.

  5. While the dough ball is forming, coat a medium sized mixing bowl with nonstick spray or oil.

  6. Place dough ball in oil, cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge overnight.

  7. A little before you are ready to cook your pizza, temper the dough by pulling it out of the fridge and allowing it to reach room temp.

  8. Grease a 14x9in baking sheet with oil. Carefully begin to spread the dough to form the crust starting from the center moving out.

  9. Spread the pizza sauce across the dough with a ladle or spatula.

  10. Add toppings of your choice.

  11. Place in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and edges are golden.
