Cinnamon Focaccia Recipe

Cinnamon Focaccia Recipe

  • 6 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups warm water (120 to 130 degrees F)
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts
  • 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 3 tablespoons half-and-half cream
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups flour, yeast and salt. Add water and oil; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  2. Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half. Pat each portion flat. Cover and let stand for 10 minutes. Press dough into two greased 12-in. pizza pans. Prick top of dough with a fork. Brush with butter. Combine sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over dough. Top with nuts. Let stand 10-15 minutes.
  3. Bake at 350 degrees F for 25-30 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from pans to wire racks. Combine confectioners' sugar and enough cream to achieve a glaze consistency; drizzle over warm bread.
