not sure if you guys remember, or even know what i'm talking about, but back in the mid to late 90s, starbucks used to sell pastries from la brea bakery...and one of my faves was this amazingly delicious strawberry focaccia. i used to eat it almost every day...until out of no where starbucks stopped a) carrying the strawberry focaccias and b) stopped selling la brea bakery pastries. anyway, i have literally searched all cookbooks and random cooking sites for the recipe...i even asked nancy silverton herself a couple times about the strawberry focaccias she used to make! well, after thinking about it long a hard, i realized...hey, it's soooo easy! just use tj's pizza dough and some fresh strawberries! so here it is..enjoy!
ingredients:
- 1 package of trader joe's pizza dough
- small handful of flour
- 1 carton of organic strawberries, destemmed and sliced
- 4+ tablespoons sugar
directions:
- preheat the oven to 450 degrees
- carefully remove the dough from bag and lay it on a floured cutting board; let it rest for 20+ minutes
- mix the strawberry slices and 4 tablespoons of sugar in a bowl; set aside
- stretch the pizza dough out
- cut dough into 10-12 pieces then place each piece onto a baking sheet
- spoon the strawberries (without the extra liquid in the bowl) onto each piece of dough
- sprinkle some sugar on each pastry, especially the outer crust area
- bake for 9 minutes; let it cool on a baking sheet...then enjoy!!
xoxo,
