Stuffed Focaccia


This is another easy focaccia recipe consisting of two round flat discs of dough surrounding a tasty spinach and cheese filling. I have used spinach, Mozzarella and Gorgonzola cheeses, but you could experiment with the fillings of your choice. Seal the edges well so the cheeses do not melt out as the focaccia bakes.

Variations: Try stuffing the focaccia with thinly sliced tomatoes and basil leaves, shredded cooked ham and Fontina cheese, or simply a mixture of your favorite Italian cheeses.
