It's really just Focaccia

I increased my recipe by 50%, hand shaped two circles, used a spinach and garlic filling. It filled my pizza pan. Can't wait until dinner to taste it. If it tastes as good as it smells, it'll be yummy!

But I don't care for Nutella, and I wanted a bread to go with dinner. I used a focaccia recipe (increased it by half) and made up my own filling (spinach, garlic and a hot sesame oil). And I only did two layers. Divided the dough in half, shaped each half by hand on piece of parchment. First layer on a pizza pan, then the filling, then the next layer of bread dough. I set a small bowl on the center and made the cuts with my pizza wheel.  The technique is like what is shown in the video, but I didn't do the ends, just kind of folded them under. I really want to try this now with a sweet dough and a bear claw type filling.

Hi aptk,
That's such a pretty focaccia, and I bet it tastes as good as it looks!
Thank you so much for sharing the link for this shaping method.
