Cinnamon Roll Focaccia

Cinnamon Roll Focaccia

Cozy focaccia bread, with warm cinnamon filling, and a light icing.

I would argue that this was just as good as a cinnamon roll, and way less work. I would call that a win-win situation. Let me know what you think down in the comments!

Ingredients

Focaccia

  • 100 g starter
  • 350 g water 
  • 500 g water
  • 10 g salt
  • 10 g sugar 
  • 10 g neutral oil 

Cinnamon Topping

  • 3 tbsp of brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 4 tbsp melted butter

Icing

  • 1/2 cup powder sugar
  • 1tbsp water
  • 1/4 tsp almond extract
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Mix starter, water, sugar, and oil together vigorously. Once combined add salt and flour, then mix until shaggy. Let rest 1 hour.
  2. Begin stretch and folds, or coil folds. Repeat these every 30 minutes until dough has structure. I did 4 stretch and folds. 
  3. Let dough bulk ferment overnight. 10-13 hours. 
  4. Take a medium baking dish and add a generous amount of neutral oil. Make sure it reaches are side walls of the baking dish. 
  5. Add dough into baking dish, spread so it reaches the 4 corners of the dish. 
  6. Add cinnamon topping, and dimple into the dough. This will create pockets of cinnamon topping! 
  7. Bake for 20 min at 450 degrees, or until golden.
  8. Mix icing ingredients, and drizzle over the top. 
  9. Slice into and enjoy!!

Tips & Notes

  • This dough is a high hydration dough. It is fairly sticky, but do not fret. There is no shaping required with this dough, and that is what makes focaccia so easy!
