Fresh Tomato-Basil Focaccia

 1 package whole-wheat store-bought pizza doughor homemade pizza dough
 ¼ tsp garlic powder
 ½ tsp dried oregano
 ½ tsp dried basil
 ½ tsp dried thyme
 1 pinch salt
 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil (optional)
 2 cloves garlic, sliced thinly
 12 cherry tomatoes, halved
 7 fresh basil leaves, roughly chopped
1

Preheat oven to 500°F.

2

Place the dough in a large bowl and add the seasonings (garlic powder, dried oregano, dried basil, and dried thyme) and salt. Knead until the seasonings and salt are well incorporated.

3

Roll the dough out onto a floured surface. Use your fingers to lightly press the garlic slices into the top surface of the dough. Bake the focaccia until the dough is puffed, blistered, and browned, about 8-10 minutes.

Remove the focaccia from the oven and lightly brush it with olive oil (optional). Top it with the tomato halves, chopped basil, and a pinch of salt to taste.

Tip: If you’re looking for a heartier meal, spread some Pistachio-Basil Spread on the focaccia before adding the tomatoes and basil, or, make the Zesty Tomato-Basil Bruschetta and spread the bruschetta on the focaccia.
