Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Active Sourdough Starter
- 1 cup Warm Water (about 100°F – 110°F)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 3 cups Unbleached Flour (or all-purpose flour as substitute)
- 4 tablespoons Salted Butter (or unsalted)
- 1 cup Brown Sugar (or coconut sugar as substitute)
- 2 tablespoons Ground Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (optional)
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar (or coconut sugar as alternative)
- 2 tablespoons Milk or Cream (dairy or dairy-free options)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together your active sourdough starter and warm water until fully dissolved.
- Let your dough rest for 30 minutes, allowing the flour to hydrate and gluten to develop.
- Perform a set of stretch and folds on the dough to strengthen the gluten structure.
- Transfer your dough to a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and ferment for about 3 hours.
- Grease a 9×13 baking pan, transfer the dough, and perform another set of stretch and folds in the dish.
- Cover the pan and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, until doubled in size.
- Melt the salted butter and whisk in brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract to create the topping.
- Create dimples across the surface of the dough with wet fingers for even topping incorporation.
- Pour the topping over the dimples in the dough, spread evenly, and bake at 425°F for 25-30 minutes.
- Mix powdered sugar with milk or cream for icing, drizzle over warm focaccia, slice, and serve.
Notes
- Ensure your dough remains wet and sticky for the best texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for optimal freshness.
