Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Make sure the oven is fully heated before you start baking for the best results.
-
Prepare your baking sheet by lightly greasing a cookie sheet with non-stick spray or a small amount of olive oil to prevent sticking.
-
Prepare the seasoning mix: In a small bowl, combine the parmesan cheese, finely chopped rosemary, and basil leaves. Stir until well mixed.
-
Prepare the dough: Open your can of breadstick dough (or pizza dough if preferred) and remove it from the package. Gently separate the dough into 8 individual coils. Be careful not to unroll the breadsticks; they should remain rolled up.
-
Shape the rounds: Take each dough coil and form it into a 5-inch “swirled” round shape. Place each shaped round onto the prepared cookie sheet, leaving a little space between them for expansion during baking.
-
Drizzle the olive oil: Using a spoon or your hands, drizzle a small amount of olive oil over each dough round. This adds richness and ensures a golden-brown finish when baked.
-
Top with seasoning: Evenly sprinkle the cheese and herb mixture over the top of each round. The fresh herbs will add aromatic flavor, while the parmesan will give a savory, crispy texture.
-
Bake to perfection: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the focaccia rounds for 8-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Keep an eye on them, as oven times can vary.
-
Serve & enjoy: Once the focaccia rounds are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a minute or two. These flavorful, swirled bread rolls are perfect for any meal, from serving alongside pasta to enjoying as a quick snack.
Pro Tips:
- For added flavor, experiment with different herbs such as thyme or oregano.
- If you prefer a softer texture, you can brush the rounds with additional olive oil after baking.
- Serve these focaccia rounds warm with a side of balsamic vinegar and olive oil for dipping.
This quick and easy focaccia recipe yields soft, savory, and golden-brown bread rounds, perfect for any occasion.
