Ingredients
- 2 cups warm water, heated to about 110
- 2 tsp active dry yeast
- 1 tsp white granulated sugar
- 4 cups bread flour, spooned and leveled
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 6 tbsp brown butter
- 1/3 cup light brown sugar
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 tbsp milk
Instructions
- Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm water and granulated sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over and let sit for 10-15 minutes until foamy.
- Mix the dough: In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil, stirring until a sticky dough ball forms. Rub lightly with olive oil.
- First rise: Cover and place in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours.
- Second rise: Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan and line with parchment. Pour in melted butter and place dough in the center. Cover and rise for 1 1/2 2 hours in a warm spot.
- Make the brown butter: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat until golden-amber and nutty, about 10 minutes. Allow to cool.
- Make the cinnamon topping: Mix brown sugar and cinnamon into brown butter until sugar dissolves.
- Dimple the dough: Preheat oven to 450. With wet fingertips, press deep dimples into the risen dough and drizzle cinnamon-butter on top.
- Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a rack.
- Finish with icing: Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over warm focaccia, slice, and enjoy!
Notes
For best results, allow the dough to rise in a warm environment.
Adjust milk quantity in the icing for desired consistency.
Brown butter adds a rich flavor and aroma.
