This Focaccia a la Marinara is pretty much like an easy version of a cheese pizza. Just easier to make and freeze for picnics or lunch bags.
The dough raises in the fridge overnight at requires no knead at all! In fact you don’t have to touch it with your hands. What’s not to like?
I love making these small, handy Focaccia’s. Just the smell of them, fresh from the oven – makes me happy. It’s like being in Italy again.
Have you ever tried making your own focaccias?
You have probably heard me talk about the amazing Italian Overnight Breads, that I love to make for my family in the morning?!
Just take a batch of those and turn them in to the most fabulous focaccia in a split!
We freeze them individually in small sandwich zip-locks. Then the kids just grab one from the freezer and stuff them in their lunch bags in the mornings. After short time the focaccia have defrosted and ready to enjoy.
Let me tell you how you make them:
Focaccia a la Marinara
First you’ll need a portion of the easy dough, that I also use for my Italian Overnight Breads .
To make the small focaccia’s you’ll use two spoons to handle the sticky dough.
When you are ready, you place a few spoonfuls of the very sticky dough in small dots on a tray with parchment paper, as you would have done to make the regular italian breads.
Then you take a clean spoon and dip it in Olive Oil.
With this spoon you flatten out the breads.
You don’t have to be scared to use a spoonful of oil on each focaccia – it will just make them more crisp ;o)
Now you add a spoonful of my Authentic Italian Pizza Sauce on each focaccia and spread it out a bit.
Next, top with a few chunks of fresh Mozzarella and finally prinkle with dried Basil and/or Oregano.
Finally you bake the focaccia’s in a pre-heated oven (225 degree Fahrenheit) for about 15 minutes and they will look just right.
Enjoy!
They are excellent for the freezer too.
(Uhh, I’m getting hungry now!)
