Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine warm water, instant yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- Gradually add all-purpose flour, salt, and olive oil while mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 5-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.
- Prepare the filling by mixing cinnamon with brown sugar in a small bowl.
- Once risen, gently punch the dough down and roll it into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
- Spread the cinnamon and brown sugar mixture evenly across the dough, then roll it tightly into a log.
- Twist the log to create swirls and place seam-side down in a greased baking pan.
- Cover the pan and let it rise for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
- Let the focaccia cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before serving, optionally dusting with powdered sugar.
