Time 2h

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 recipe basic focaccia
2 ounces sliced smoked bacon
2 tablespoons chopped scallions
5 to 6 ripe plum tomatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 tablespoon chopped Italian parsley
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Prepare the basic focaccia, setting it to rise as in Step 4 above.
  • While the dough is rising, fry the bacon until it is golden. Set aside to drain on paper towels. When the bacon has cooled, crumble it coarsely.
  • Once the focaccia has risen and has been placed in the pan ready to bake, as in Step 6 above, sprinkle it with the bacon.
  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
  • Sprinkle the focaccia with the scallions. Slice tomatoes one-fourth-inch thick and arrange them on the surface, over the bacon and scallions. Brush them with the olive oil.
  • Bake 20 to 25 minutes, until the bottom is browned and the top is puffy and lightly browned. Sprinkle with parsley and pepper and serve.
