Step-by-Step Instructions for Cinnamon Focaccia
  1. Combine warm water and sugar in a bowl. Sprinkle yeast and let sit for 10-15 minutes until frothy.
  2. Whisk bread flour and salt in a large bowl. Add yeast mixture and olive oil, stirring until a sticky dough forms.
  3. Transfer dough to a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours.
  4. Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease a baking pan, deflate the dough, and transfer to the pan, letting it rise for 1.5 to 2 hours.
  5. Melt unsalted butter in a saucepan. Add light brown sugar and cinnamon, mixing until dissolved.
  6. Dimple risen dough with fingers. Drizzle cinnamon mixture over it.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and set.
  8. Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla to create icing, and drizzle over the warmed focaccia.
