For this indulgent Cinnamon Roll Focaccia, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 3 1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for icing)
- 2 tablespoons milk (for icing)
Instructions
- Activate the yeast by combining warm milk and sugar, then add yeast and let sit until frothy.
- Mix melted butter, egg, and salt in a bowl, add yeast mixture, and gradually mix in flour until smooth.
- Let the dough rise in a greased bowl covered with a damp cloth until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
- Prepare the filling by mixing brown sugar and cinnamon, adding nuts if desired.
- Roll out the dough, sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar mixture, roll tightly, and cut into 12 pieces.
- Arrange pieces in a greased dish, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes while preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
- Make icing by whisking powdered sugar and milk, then drizzle over warm focaccia before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the milk is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast properly.
- Feel free to add different nuts or toppings for variation.
