Description

A delightful cinnamon sugar sourdough focaccia dessert that combines the tang of sourdough with sweet cinnamon for a memorable treat.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups sourdough starter
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1/2 cup cinnamon sugar
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk or cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract


Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine sourdough starter, warm water, and sugar. Mix well.
  2. Add flour and salt, stirring until a dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 4-6 hours or until doubled in size.
  5. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  6. Punch down the dough and stretch it onto a greased baking sheet, creating dimples with your fingers.
  7. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the top, allowing it to sit for about 15 minutes.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until lightly golden.
  9. For the icing, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
  10. Drizzle the cream cheese icing over the warm focaccia before serving.
