Steps for preparing the pan-fried focaccia with spinach and smoked cheese
First, prepare the dough with the yeast, sugar, water, and flour in the mixer. Add salt and oil and knead until smooth and elastic. Let it rise in a bowl until it doubles in volume.
Meanwhile, cook the spinach with oil, garlic, and salt until they have lost most of their water. Let them cool.
Divide the risen dough into 6 balls. Roll each ball into 6 discs. On half of the discs, place slices of cheese, spinach, and more slices of cheese. Cover with the remaining discs and seal the edges well to keep the filling from leaking during cooking.
In a slightly greased pan, cook the stuffed focaccia over low heat, a few minutes per side. Serve the focaccia hot.
Storage
You can store the focaccia in the fridge for two or three days.
