Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Cinnamon Focaccia
- In a small bowl, combine warm water with granulated sugar. Sprinkle active dry yeast and let sit for 10-15 minutes until frothy.
- In a large bowl, whisk bread flour and salt. Create a well, pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil, and stir until sticky dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5 minutes. Shape into a ball, place in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and refrigerate for at least 12 hours.
- Deflate the dough and transfer to a greased baking pan. Press to fit the pan and create dimples. Cover and let rise for 1.5 to 2 hours.
- Melt unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat, stirring for 5-7 minutes until golden-amber. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
- In a bowl, combine light brown sugar and cinnamon. Stir in the warm brown butter until well combined.
- Press fingers into the risen dough to create dimples. Drizzle the cinnamon-brown butter mixture over the surface.
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Bake focaccia for 20-25 minutes until golden-brown and fragrant.
- Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over the baked focaccia after cooling.

Notes
Allow the dough to rise fully for optimal fluffiness. Adjust toppings according to personal taste. Focaccia can be made ahead and stored in the fridge or freezer.
