Warm Stuffed Focaccia

Start with a loaf of Marigold's focaccia bread. Slice bread horizontally with a serrated bread knife. Drizzle a little balsamic vinaigrette or italian dressing on the bottom half of the focaccia. Layer with slices of ham, turkey or salami and provolone cheese. Top with fresh baby spinach and roasted red peppers. Drizzle with a little more vinaigrette: cover with top of bread half. Wrap in aluminum foil and place on a baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until warm.
Marigold's also has a Focaccia bread mix you can make at home.
