  3. Let it cool completely before cutting and stuffing.
Recipe Notes

If you want you can stuff this focaccia before baking it. Just pour half the mix in the tin, cover with stuffing then pour the second half of the mixture.

I recommend dry stuffing to avoid soaking the dough, for instance ham and cold cuts, cheeses, not soggy sautee vegetables.

If you add two more spoonful of sugar the focaccia will turn to sweet and you can stuff it with chocolate cream, jam and more.
