My Version of Everything Bread

MMM!  I can never say enough about bread coming straight out of the oven, the aroma fills the house like no other!  This bread actually smelled a lot like pepperoni bread i should point out. I have never made any cheese filled bread, and this one came out perfect.  This is my basic focaccia recipe, but I added 1/4cup of wheat germ, 1 cup of whole wheat flour (2 1/2cups of flour total), fresh mozzarella, "Italian herbs", minced fresh garlic, 1/3cup parm. cheese, about a tbs of chipotle chilies.  I kneaded the dough without the mozzarella cheese, then right before the first rise I rolled out the dough, and folded in small chunks of the cheese.  I then rolled it up and let it rise three times, punching it down between each rise.  I grated more mozzarella cheese on top of the bread right before it went into the oven for about twenty minutes.  It came out perfect!  Yes!
