Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine warm water with white granulated sugar. Sprinkle active dry yeast on top and let sit for 10-15 minutes until foamy.
- In a large bowl, whisk together bread flour and salt. Pour the yeast mixture and olive oil into the flour mixture and stir to form a sticky dough.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 12 hours for the first rise.
- Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan, deflate the chilled dough, and stretch it into the pan. Cover and let it rise for 1.5 to 2 hours.
- Melt unsalted butter in a saucepan until golden brown; set aside to cool slightly.
- Mix light brown sugar and ground cinnamon in a bowl, then stir in the brown butter until dissolved.
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Dimple the risen dough and drizzle the cinnamon-butter mixture over it.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- Prepare icing by whisking powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth, then drizzle over warm focaccia.

Notes
Ensure warm water is around 110°F for effective yeast activation. Allow rise times for optimal texture.
