   Place one dough piece on a greased baking tray, spread the filling over it. Cover with the second dough piece. Brush the edges with water and press gently together. Sprinkle sea salt and rosemary sprigs over the focaccia. Press shallow dents into the surface with a small spoon and drizzle with remaining olive oil. Cover and let rise again for 15 minutes. Then bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (middle rack) for about 20 minutes.
