Steps:
- Put the flour into a bowl and mix in the salt. Mix the yeast into 325ml tepid water. Add the water and oil to the flour, then mix well with a plastic scraper or your hands. When most of the liquid is incorporated, use your hands to bring all the ingredients together into a ball of dough.
- Tip the dough out onto a worktop lightly dusted with flour and work it by pulling and stretching for at least 10 mins. Try to get as much air into it as possible. Put the ball of worked dough into a well-oiled bowl, cover with a little more oil and a tea towel or cling film. Leave to rest for 1 hr or so in a non-draughty warm spot, until doubled in size.
- Now stretch the dough out onto a baking sheet until it's about 20 x 30cm. Leave the dough to rise again to about half as high again, about 30-40 mins in a warm draught-free place, loosely covered with a tea towel.
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. When the dough has risen, press your fingers into it gently to make some holes. Bake for about 15 mins, then remove from the oven. Tear over the mozzarella, then bake for another 5-10 mins until golden and cooked through. Drizzle over the pesto and scatter with sea salt, if you like. Serve straight away.

FOCACCIA WITH RICOTTA AND PISTACHIO PESTO
Steps:
- Mix the warm water, yeast and sugar in a medium bowl. Let sit about 15 minutes for the yeast to bloom. In a stand mixer with a hook attachment, combine the flour, 1/2 cup of the olive oil, the kosher salt and yeast mixture and mix on medium speed until well incorporated, about 2 minutes. Turn the mixer to medium high and continue to knead the dough until smooth, 6 to 7 minutes.
- Sprinkle a clean work surface liberally with flour. Turn out the dough onto the surface and knead by hand until smooth and elastic, 3 to 4 minutes. Coat the mixer bowl with olive oil. Return the dough to the bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap and let rest in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Coat a 13-by-18-inch rimmed baking sheet with the remaining 1/2 cup olive oil. Turn out the proofed dough onto the baking sheet and press out all the way to the edges. Use your fingertips to poke holes in the dough. Sprinkle with sea salt. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until almost doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Uncover the dough and bake until golden brown, about 40 minutes. Serve with ricotta and pistachio pesto.
- Pulse 1/4 cup chopped roasted pistachios, 2 tablespoons each lemon zest and pistachio oil (or olive oil), 1 tablespoon each chopped parsley and mint and a pinch of red pepper flakes in a food processor to combine. Slowly add 1 1/2 cups extra-virgin olive oil (the good stuff) while pulsing until fully incorporated, about 1 minute. Transfer the pesto to a bowl; season with salt. Stir in another 1/4 cup chopped pistachios. Makes 2 cups.

Yield 1 full sheet pan (126 bite sized hors d'oeuvres pieces)
Number Of Ingredients 11
Steps:
- Preheat a convection oven to 325 degrees F or a regular oven to 350 degrees F.
- To make the dough: In the bowl of a standing mixer, combine the water, 2 1/2 ounces of olive oil, yeast and honey. Allow the yeast to proof for 5 minutes. Add the flour and salt, and mix with a dough hook on medium speed until the dough is pliable and elastic, about 5 minutes. If the dough is a little wet, you may need to add a little more flour. The dough should be moist, but not stick to the hands. Cover with plastic wrap, and allow the dough to rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 20 minutes.
- Brush the remaining olive oil on a rimmed baking sheet about 18-by-26-inches and dust with the cornmeal. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4-inch thick and prick the dough all over with a fork or rolling docker. Brush off any excess flour and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Bake the dough until lightly browned, about 6 minutes. Cool.
- When the dough has cooled, evenly top with focaccia with the tomato slices, covering the entire surface and lightly season with kosher salt and white pepper. Sprinkle with the basil chiffonade and lightly top with the mozzarella. You should be able to see the tomatoes through the cheese. Return to the oven and bake until the cheese is melted and slightly colored. Cool the pizza slightly and cut into 2-bite triangles.
MOZZARELLA, ARUGULA, AND MARINATED TOMATOES ON FOCACCIA

Steps:
- In a large bowl or baking dish combine tomatoes, onion, and vinegar and season with pepper and salt. Marinate mixture, covered, tossing occasionally with rubber spatula, 30 minutes.
- Transfer tomatoes and onion to a plate with slotted spoon and add arugula to marinade remaining in bowl or baking dish. Season arugula with pepper and salt and toss. Arrange arugula on bottom focaccia half and top with mozzarella, tomatoes, onion, and remaining focaccia half, pressing together gently. Cut sandwiches into 4 pieces.
PESTO AND MOZZARELLA FRENCH BREAD PIZZA
Basil is the classic choice for this alternative to red sauce, but blend in any tender, flavorful herbs or greens like parsley, spinach, or arugula depending on what you have around. This pesto recipe doubles easily and freezes well, too: Transfer the finished pesto to an ice cube tray and freeze until firm. Pop the frozen pesto into a resealable bag, and keep it in the freezer for up to three months. Defrost whenever a pasta or pizza craving calls, though you can certainly use store-bought pesto to make things even easier. Fresh mozzarella creates excellent cheese pulls, but feel free to play around with other soft cheeses: A crumbling of feta or goat cheese would make delicious variations.

Steps:
- Make the pesto: Heat the oven to 450 degrees with a rack in the middle position. Combine basil, 1 garlic clove and pine nuts in a food processor, and pulse until finely chopped. With the machine running, stream in the olive oil. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, add Parmesan and salt, and pulse to combine.
- Prepare the pizza: Combine the 1/4 cup olive oil and grated garlic in a small pot over medium. Cook, swirling occasionally, until the garlic starts to sizzle (but doesn't begin to brown), 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Place the French bread cut side up on a baking sheet. Brush cut sides with garlic oil. Bake until edges are golden, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Spread the pesto over the two halves all the way to the edges and top with the cheese. Return to the oven and bake until the cheese is evenly melted, about 5 minutes. Increase heat to broil and broil (watch carefully!) until the cheese is bubbly and browned in spots, 1 to 2 minutes more. Let cool 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Top with red-pepper flakes, oregano and more Parmesan, if you like.

FOCACCIA WITH TOMATO SAUCE AND GREEN GARLIC
We call this "pizza focaccia" in our house, as it does resemble a thick-crusted pizza. Make it when you crave a tomato focaccia and fresh tomatoes aren't in season. I like to use fire-roasted canned tomatoes for this, as they develop such a deep, double-roasted flavor when the sauce bakes on top of the bread.

Steps:
- Mix up the focaccia dough as directed and set in a warm spot to rise.
- Meanwhile, make the tomato-garlic topping. Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a medium saucepan or skillet and add the garlic. Cook, stirring, until it begins to smell fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute, and add the tomatoes and salt to taste. Cook, stirring often, for about 10 minutes, until the tomatoes have cooked down slightly to a fragrant sauce. Stir in the thyme. Taste and adjust salt, and add pepper. Remove from the heat. For a smooth sauce, blend with an immersion blender or pulse in a food processor.
- When the focaccia dough has risen, shape as directed into 1 large focaccia or 2 smaller focacce. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm spot for 30 minutes while you preheat the oven to 425 degrees, preferably with a baking stone in it.
- Dimple the dough with your fingertips and spread the tomato sauce over the top in an even layer. Drizzle with olive oil. Bake, setting the pan on top of the baking stone (if using), for 25 minutes, until the bread is deep golden brown. If using the mozzarella, tear it into small shreds. Bake the focaccia for 15 minutes, pull it from the oven and quickly scatter the mozzarella over the focaccia, then return to the oven for 10 minutes. Let rest for at least 10 minutes before serving, or allow to cool completely.

- To make this recipe for fresh focaccia with three varieties of pesto, start by making the focaccia dough starter: First knead the Manitoba flour with 200 g water and 1 g brewer’s yeast until the dough is sticky. (Add more water if necessary.) Let the dough rest for at least 8 hours at room temperature.
- For the focaccia dough, knead the type “00” flour with 330 g of the starter and 1 liter of water, adding the water little by little. Once the dough is soft enough, knead it again briefly and let it rest for 5 minutes. Repeat these steps two more times and add 15 g salt at the end. Roll out the dough on two or more large plates. Prepare an emulsion with oil and water in equal parts, salt it and use it to grease the dough you’ve already rolled out. Let it rest for 2 hours at room temperature or inside the oven turned off. Bake at 445°F (230°C) for about 15 minutes.
- For the 3 pesto varieties: Celery almond pesto Finely blend 200 g celery with 80 g almonds. Add 120 g olive oil and adjust salt and pepper to taste.
- Tomato and pine nut pesto Finely mince the tomatoes and blend with the toasted pine nuts, 120 g olive oil, salt, pepper and about 10 torn fresh basil leaves. Mix gently with care.
