Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds a cheesy flavor.

black olives

🥗Healthier: green olives

💰Cheaper: canned olives

fresh herbs

🥗Healthier: dried herbs

💰Cheaper: no herbs

Dried herbs maintain flavor and are often less expensive.

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).

Grease an 8x8 pan with good quality olive oil.

Take 1 pound of pizza dough and roll it in the olive oil to coat it.

Press the dough into the corners of the pan using your fingers.

Cover the pan with cling wrap and then lay a clean kitchen towel over it.

Let the dough rise at room temperature for a minimum of 4 hours, up to 6 hours.

After the resting period, check that the dough has risen and is jiggly.

Dimple the focaccia with your fingers to create indentations.

Top the focaccia with cherry tomatoes and dollop store-bought pesto on top.

Bake in the preheated oven for roughly 22 minutes until golden brown on top, being careful not to let the pesto burn.

Serve hot from the oven.
