Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Focaccia Garden Bread
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to about half an inch thick, creating a rectangular shape. Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring it's evenly spread. Drizzle olive oil over the dough, using your fingers to create dimples across the surface.
  2. Chop your chosen vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Evenly distribute the colorful veggies over the dimpled dough, allowing the vibrant colors to shine. Sprinkle thinly sliced red onions among the toppings for an added kick.
  3. Generously drizzle more olive oil over the layered vegetables. Finish with a sprinkle of sea salt flakes. If using fresh herbs, toss a handful over the top now.
  4. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the Focaccia Garden Bread for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the vegetables are tender.
  5. Remove the Focaccia Garden Bread from the oven and transfer it to a cooling rack. Allow it to cool for about 5 minutes before slicing.
  6. Drizzle a little extra olive oil over the sliced Focaccia Garden Bread before serving, and garnish with fresh herbs.
