Ingredients

Scale
  • 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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. First rise: Cover and place in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours.
  4. 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.
  5. Make the brown butter: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat until golden-amber and nutty, about 10 minutes. Allow to cool.
  6. Make the cinnamon topping: Mix brown sugar and cinnamon into brown butter until sugar dissolves.
  7. Dimple the dough: Preheat oven to 450. With wet fingertips, press deep dimples into the risen dough and drizzle cinnamon-butter on top.
  8. Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a rack.
  9. 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.
