Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Cinnamon Roll Focaccia
- 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.
- 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.
- Cover and let the dough rise in a warm place until nearly doubled in size, approximately 1 hour.
- 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.
- Cover with a towel and let rise again until very puffy, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
- Create dimples in the puffed dough using oiled fingers. Mix together brown sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon, then sprinkle over the dough.
- Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C) and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
- Transfer to a cooling rack and drizzle with glaze while still warm. Let set before slicing.

Notes
Best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored for up to 3 days at room temperature. Reheat briefly before serving for optimal fluffiness.
