Focaccia Bread

     No need for yeast or kneading.  This recipe uses refrigerated pizza dough.  It's chewing and soft and goes with any meal.


 Ingredients

1 tube of refrigerator pizza dough
oil, any kind you like
2 tablespoons of fresh herbs
salt

  Open 1 can of refrigerated dough and roll out until it's roughly the size of your rectangular pan.  Oil the rectangular pan and transfer the dough.  Stretch it out to the sides and lightly cover with oil.  Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.

    With your fingertips, make divots all over the dough.   Add some more oil and about a 1 tablespoon of fresh herbs and lightly salt to taste.  I used thyme but rosemary is traditional and basil would be good.  Pre-heat the oven to 425.

    Bake for 10 minutes, remove and add the remainder of the herbs and bake until golden brown.  Watch carefully as it can burn quickly.  Don't worry if it puffs up in the center, it will go back down once it cools.  

    Serve warm. Garnish, if you'd like, with grated cheese or more herbs.
