Cooking Steps
- Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish (NOTE: For 4 servings, use a 9x13-inch baking dish.) with 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil.
- Divide the dough into 2 equal portions.
- Place on portion of dough in the baking dish. Using your fingers, stretch and push dough towards the sides to completely cover the bottom of the dish.
- Set aside and let dough rest, 2-3 min.
- Drain olives, then pat dry with paper towels. Roughly chop olives.
- Tear bocconcini in half, then pat dry with paper towels.
- To a medium bowl, add bocconcini, pesto and olives. Season with salt, then toss to combine. Set aside.
- To a large bowl, juice half the lemon (whole lemon for 4 portions). Set aside.
- Dollop over pesto-bocconcini mixture over dough in baking dish.
- Spread to an even layer.
- Stretch remaining portion of dough to the same size as the baking sheet.
- Lay over pesto-bocconcini. Press sides down to seal dough with bottom layer.
- Brush top of focaccia with 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil (TIP: if you have olive oil, now's the time to use it!)
- Sprinkle half the Parmesan over top. Season with salt.
- Bake focaccia in the middle of the oven until golden-brown and cooked through, 14-16 min.
- Meanwhile, add Caesar dressing to the bowl with lemon juice, then whisk to combine.
- Add spinach and remaining Parmesan cheese. Season with pepper, then toss to coat.
- Allow focaccia to cool for 8-10 min. (TIP: This will help the cheese stay in place when cut!)
- Remove focaccia from baking dish, then slice into 4 equal pieces (8 for 4 ppl).
- Divide focaccia and salad between plates.
