Stuffed Focaccia

Submitted by Saturn

"Found on net. Plan on trying this soon. Sounds SO good to me. I think it would be a great way to "trick" my sons into eating spinach. Prep time does not reflect thawing time."

 

• Ready In: 40mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Yields: 1 Foccacia
• Serves: 2

ingredients

• 1 loaf frozen bread dough
• 7 ounces gorgonzola, Crumbled

directions

1. Thaw dough.

3. Divide the dough into two.
4. On a floured surface, either pat down or roll into two 10-11 inch circles.
5. Place one circle on an oiled cookie sheet, and then sprinkle the cheese evenly over its surface.
6. Spread the spinach across the top, and then cover with the remaining circle.
7. Using your fingertips, gently press the edges together.
8. Create dimples across the top surface using your fingertips, and drizzle over with the oil. Sprinkle the salt and rosemary on top.
9. Bake for about 30 minutes or until golden brown.

11. Variation: 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.

We really enjoyed this recipe. I thought the gorgonzola made it a little to salty though, I think next time I'll leave it out and maybe put in some tomatoes instead. Thank you so much for a great recipe with excellent potential for substitutions.

Loved this! DS and I enjoyed this for dinner tonight. I made 1/2 cheese and 1/2 cheese and pepperoni. I added some garlic salt and cheese to the top. So many flavor combination possibilities with this! Made for Cook the 6-PAC fall 2007.

Wonderful, easy Friday night dinner! I made 1 as written & another with sliced tomato, mozzarella & basil. Both were gone in a flash. A keeper for sure! Thanks for sharing!

This was the star of the show for one of our appetizer evenings. I used half a loaf of dough and made smaller circles as I was serving other dishes. DH wished I had made more of this. I lightly sauteed the spinach with garlic unril barely wilted and added fresh sliced mushrooms. This one is a definite keeper. Thanks Saturn!
