Pizza Sciachiatta (Similiar to Focaccia Bread) (Edit recipe)

Most of you have heard of Focaccia, but have you ever heard of Sciachiatta? Well if you haven't, I'm here to explain to you that this bread is the exact same recipe as my Focaccia bread, but is made slightly differently. This bread is great for pizza, sandwiches and a delicious snack! I have transformed this bread into the ultimate pizza. This bread requires No Kneading & No fancy equipment. A bowl, a measuring cup, a rubber spatula & a baking sheet is all you'll need. This is topped with my homemade tomato sauce, mozzarella, parmesan, pepperoni and hot honey for that added sweetness!
