Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon instant yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup pesto sauce
  • 1 cup vine tomatoes, sliced
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, and salt. Gradually add the warm water and olive oil, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  • Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Punch down the dough and transfer it to a greased baking sheet. Press the dough into a rectangle shape, about 1/2 inch thick.
  • Spread the pesto sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Arrange the sliced vine tomatoes on top of the pesto sauce. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the tomatoes.
  • Bake the focaccia in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Remove the focaccia from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
  • Slice the focaccia into squares or wedges and serve warm. Enjoy!
