“Oh My Focaccia Pie”- Homemade Focaccia with Roasted Garlic Yesterday while I was driving to home depot (don’t laugh), I took a notepad and started coming up with ideas of what to cook this week with what I have in my fridge.  I knew I had some left over roasted garlic to use, and I came up with this recipe.  My parents and I LOVED it.  It was hard not to eat the entire pie.  I hope you all enjoy it as much as we did! What you Need: Pizza dough (either store bought or homemade-recipe follows below) Red Onion Roasted Garlic (I made this a day in advance) Parmesan Cheese Fresh Mozzarella Cheese Sugar Dried Rosemary Tomato (sliced thin) Garlic Salt Onion Powder 1. Set oven to 500 degrees. 2. Take pizza dough and add about 1 tbsp of dried rosemary, 1/2 tbsp of garlic salt, 1/2 tbsp onion powder  and mix it into the dough. 3. Roll dough out onto a floured surface.  As you can see in my picture my dough was not a perfect circle, so don’t worry about being a perfectionist. 4. Bake the dough on a pizza tray or pizza stone until it is starting to brown (10 minutes or so) 5. Slice red onion, and throw into a greased (PAM) sautee pan.  Add about 1/2 tbsp of sugar to the onions.  Cover with lid and stir every few minutes.  The onions should begin to carmelize. 6. Remove dough from oven and carefully spread the roasted garlic to cover the entire pizza.  Add onions, sliced tomato, shaved parmesan cheese and fresh mozzarella.  7. Place back in the oven until the cheese begins to melt. Enjoy!!!
