I think that the pizza dough is my new favorite thing from Trader Joe's

I had good results after reading a foccacia recipe that I got from Real Simple's web site. It's the same basic idea as the pizza recipe, but the difference is baking the dough plain (just brushed with a little olive oil) at 400 degrees for 5 minutes, the pulling it out of the oven, adding your toppings and then baking for another 8 to 10 minutes.

Pulling it from the oven at the 5 minute mark gives you a chance to pop any bubbles, and it gives the dough a chance to set up and not get too soggy from any toppings you may add. I've also been rolling my dough out pretty thin (I've been using an 11" x 17" pan), and keeping the toppings light.

Pesto (thinned out with extra olive oil) and thin slices of fresh tomato with a little cheese on top is really good (it made for a yummy lunch today!).
