This basic bread dough is one to cut out and use again as it will work for dinner rolls, loaves or even rolled thinly for pizza bases. The topping here is basic but an ode to those wonderful mini focaccia pizza breads I had growing up. Feel free to add toppings of your choice beyond cheese and tomato sauce. The bread can also be transformed with slices of red onion pushed into the dough or a garlic and herb mixture spread across the top before it’s baked.
