DH and I threw this together when he was unexpectedly able to come home for lunch yesterday. It came together in a matter of moments on a loaf of refrigerated french bread dough. We drizzled the dough with garlic infused olive oil, layered on sliced garlic, cheeses, super ripe tomatoes, and fresh oregano, then baked as directed and sprinkled with kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper. It was like we were back in our home town eating big ol' slices of "Tomato Pie" from our favorite local pizza place, NYP. Thanks for an almost-forgotten taste of home, Dreamgoddess. Made for ZWT7.

Loved this! It is like the white pizza we can buy locally. The ingredients are right on target-nice and garlicky. I only needed to bake mine about 25 minutes to get a crisp crust and melted cheese. This is a great, quick snack or light lunch. Made and reviewed for ZWT4. Thanks Dreamgoddess!

Made for "HEADS UP! You ZWTII players who miss your teammates....... Event" I was lucky to have Dreamgoddess as a fellow "Cavorting Chef" on the ZWT II. We had a blast! This recipe is appropriately named because it was Fantastic! I used freshly shredded romano cheese and an extra clove of garlic. Wow-did this smell good baking! DH is working and DS is out so I enjoyed this as my dinner tonight. Thanks for posting :) Nick's Mom

This was fabulous, even though it reminded me more of pizza than focaccia bread! The only thing I did different was to use a 1 lb. package of frozen pizza dough and I rubbed olive oil on the dough before adding anything else. I did use a stone and I only needed about 20 minutes bake time, but the stone was preheated and that may be why. I will make this again, it was really wonderful. Thanks for sharing your adopted recipe!
