निर्देश

Prep the sourdough focaccia recipe the day before.

The next morning, drizzle 3 tbsp. olive oil in the bottom of a 9×13″ baking dish. I also recommend lining the bottom with parchment paper prior to adding the olive oil.

Rub your hands with a little olive oil, then gently remove the dough from the sides of the bowl to transfer to the prepared baking dish. Gently stretch the dough from underneath to fit the pan.

Let the focaccia sit in a warm environment (room temperature) for 4-6 hours, until nearly doubled in volume and super jiggly.

Preheat oven to 425F for at least 30 minutes.

Thinly slice the peeled garlic cloves.

Drizzle the focaccia with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, then use your fingers to press into the dough to create dimples all over the surface.

Add the thinly sliced garlic and half press into the dough.

Bake for 20-30 minutes, until golden on top.

While the focaccia bakes, combine the san Marzano tomatoes, 2 tablespoons olive oil, (if desired) 2 garlic cloves, dried oregano, 1/4 cup fresh basil, and red pepper flakes in a food processor. Blend until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Take the focaccia out of the oven to add a thin layer of the homemade pizza sauce.

Layer with half of the grated mozzarella, then the browned sausage, pepperoni, and remaining half of the cheese.

Bake another 8-10 minutes, until cheese is melted on top and slightly golden.

Pipe dollops of whipped ricotta on top, as well as the prosciutto. Garnish with freshly grated parmesan and chopped basil to enjoy!
