Ingredients

Focaccia Dough

  • 200 g active sourdough starter (about 1 cup) Ensure starter is active.
  • 400 g warm water (about 1 ⅔ cups, between 100℉ – 110℉) Use warm water for proper activation.
  • 10 g salt (1 ½ teaspoons)
  • 510 g unbleached flour (about 3 ½ cups) All-purpose flour can be used as a substitute.
  • Avocado cooking spray (or cooking spray of choice) For greasing the bowl and dish.

Cinnamon Roll Focaccia Topping

  • 113 g salted butter (1/2 cup or 1 stick) Melted.
  • 250 g brown sugar (about 3/4 cup)
  • 4 g vanilla extract (about 1 teaspoon)
  • 6.5 g ground cinnamon (about 2 ½ teaspoons)

Vanilla Icing Glaze

  • 120 g powdered sugar (about 1 cup)
  • 4 g vanilla extract (about 1 teaspoon)
  • 30-45 g milk or cream (2-3 tablespoons) Adjust for desired consistency.

Method

Sourdough Focaccia Dough

  • In a large bowl, combine the active sourdough starter and warm water.
  • Stir in salt and gradually add the flour, mixing until fully incorporated.
  • Knead the dough for about 5-10 minutes until it feels smooth.
  • Spray a mixing bowl with cooking spray, place the dough inside, cover, and let it rise for about 4-6 hours or until doubled in size.

Cinnamon Roll Focaccia Topping

  • Preheat your oven to 375℉ (190℃).
  • Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently and spread it onto a greased baking dish or tray.
  • In a small bowl, mix melted butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.
  • Pour this mixture over the dough, spreading it evenly. Create swirls using a knife or spatula.
  • Let the focaccia rise again for about 30 minutes, then bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

Vanilla Icing Glaze

  • While the focaccia is cooling, whisk together powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk or cream until smooth.
  • Drizzle over the cooled focaccia.
