Pizza Focaccia
Don’t tell your friends from Chicago, but this is an easy take on deep-dish-style pizza. While it’s far from authentic, it sure is delicious! By layering the cheese on first, you get lots of crispy, golden edges—which my family tends to fight over. Since this pizza is quite doughy, it’s best to cut it into thin strips to serve. As for the sauce, less is more. I like to add small dollops all over the surface to ensure even distribution and maximum crispiness. If you’re craving some spice, my favorite topping to hit this with as soon as it comes out of the oven is a hefty drizzle of hot honey.

Loaded Potato Focaccia
There are few things in life I love more than a fully loaded potato with sour cream, scallions, lots of cheese, and crispy bacon. Add that on top of another fluffy carb, and I’m in heaven. This recipe was inspired by the famous Sally’s Apizza, one of the most beloved makers of New Haven-style pizza. They have a Potato & Rosemary pie that I love. My take is a little more kid-friendly, thanks to the Cheddar cheese and bacon. The key is to cut the potatoes thinly and evenly so they have time to cook through in the oven. I like to cook this until the potatoes start to crisp a little on top, offering the best of both worlds: creamy and crunchy potatoes!

Cheeseburger Focaccia
When I told my oldest son we were having cheeseburger focaccia for dinner, he thought I was pranking him. His two favorite foods combined into one? I’d made all his 8-year-old dreams come true. His only request: hold the pickles. No problem—more for me! When cooking the ground beef for this, Don’t be afraid to really dimple the surface of the focaccia before adding all the toppings. This gives the cheese and beef space to fill every nook and cranny, ensuring each bite of focaccia is packed with cheeseburger flavor.
