Like pizza and hamburgers, focaccia can be pretty much anything you want it to be. So we’ve given you a basic dough to get you going. What you do after that is up to you.

But before you pile it on, consider that sometimes simple is best. It is hard to beat a focaccia topped with nothing more than enough olive oil to pool into the little dimples in the dough, coarse salt and a sprinkling of fresh rosemary.

For a still simple, but more pizza-like approach, top it with thinly sliced tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, rosemary and olive oil. Or ditch the feta, bake it with just the tomatoes, then top it with shaved Parmesan as soon as it comes out of the oven.
