Beginner friendly
1 focaccia (serves 6–8)
- 3½ cups (450g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1¼ cup (300ml) water
- 2½ teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (more is better!)
- 3–4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ⅓ cup (70g) brown sugar
- 1–2 tablespoons cinnamon
- ½ cup (120g) cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup (30g) powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk or cream
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg white
- 3 tablespoons sugar
In the D'Yeast 2.5L bowl, combine yeast, sugar, and room-temperature water. Close the lid and select the appropriate yeast fermentation program. Let the program run until the yeast is fully activated.
Pour the activated yeast mixture into the D'Dough 4.5L bowl. Add the flour, salt, and olive oil. Mix by hand or in a standing mixer until a smooth dough forms.
Cover the dough with the lid and select the appropriate proofing program (White, Mixed, or Whole Grain). Let the dough rise until the program completes. If needed, repeat the proofing program for extra fermentation.
Transfer the proofed dough onto a lightly oiled surface. Gently stretch it into a rectangle, about 1-inch thick. Spread softened butter over the surface, then sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon. Fold the dough in half to enclose the filling and gently press down. Transfer to a lined baking tray and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Fill the D'Steamer with water up to 80% and place it on the oven wall. Let it preheat for 10–15 minutes. Using your fingers, dimple the dough to create the signature focaccia texture. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
For the Cream Cheese Glaze
Whisk together cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over the warm focaccia.
For the Sugar-Egg White Glaze
Beat the egg white with sugar until slightly foamy. Brush over the focaccia in the last 5 minutes of baking for a crisp, glossy finish.
Let the Cinnamon Roll Focaccia cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy its delightful blend of soft, airy texture and rich cinnamon sweetness!
Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat gently before serving for the best taste and texture.
