Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • 1 cup Active Sourdough Starter
  • 1 cup Warm Water about 100°F - 110°F for optimal fermentation
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 3 cups Unbleached Flour all-purpose flour can be used as a substitute
For the Topping
  • 4 tablespoons Salted Butter or use unsalted
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar coconut sugar can be used as a substitute
  • 2 tablespoons Ground Cinnamon adjust based on cinnamon preference
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract optional but recommended
For the Icing
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar or alternatives like coconut sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Milk or Cream dairy or dairy-free options acceptable

Equipment

  • large bowl
  • 9x13 glass baking pan
  • Small saucepan

Method
 

Directions
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together your active sourdough starter and warm water until fully dissolved.
  2. Let your dough rest for 30 minutes, allowing the flour to hydrate and gluten to develop.
  3. Perform a set of stretch and folds on the dough to strengthen the gluten structure.
  4. Transfer your dough to a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and ferment for about 3 hours.
  5. Grease a 9x13 baking pan, transfer the dough, and perform another set of stretch and folds in the dish.
  6. Cover the pan and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, until doubled in size.
  7. Melt the salted butter and whisk in brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract to create the topping.
  8. Create dimples across the surface of the dough with wet fingers for even topping incorporation.
  9. Pour the topping over the dimples in the dough, spread evenly, and bake at 425°F for 25-30 minutes.
  10. Mix powdered sugar with milk or cream for icing, drizzle over warm focaccia, slice, and serve.
