Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Cinnamon Roll Focaccia
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, fresh yeast, and sugar. Gradually mix in warm water and olive oil until a smooth dough forms. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes.
  2. Perform a series of bowl folds after the rest: stretch the dough, fold to the center, and rotate the bowl. Repeat four times with 15 minutes of rest between each fold, adding Cinnamon Sweet Bits into the dough.
  3. Cover and let the dough rise in a warm place until nearly doubled in size, approximately 1 hour.
  4. Prepare a 9" square focaccia pan by spraying with nonstick spray and lining with parchment. Transfer the risen dough to the pan and drizzle with more olive oil.
  5. Cover with a towel and let rise again until very puffy, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
  6. Create dimples in the puffed dough using oiled fingers. Mix together brown sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon, then sprinkle over the dough.
  7. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C) and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Transfer to a cooling rack and drizzle with glaze while still warm. Let set before slicing.
