Knead the Dough
- Add salt and melted butter to the dough and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
First Rise
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and let it ferment at room temperature for 4-6 hours until doubled in size.
Shape the Dough
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and roll it into a rectangle about 12x18 inches.
Add Filling
- Mix brown sugar and cinnamon, brush the dough with melted butter, sprinkle the mixture over the dough, roll it up tightly, and seal the edges.
Cut and Arrange
- Slice the rolled log into 1.5-2 inch pieces and arrange them cut-side up in a greased baking pan.
Final Proof
- Cover the pan and let the rolls proof for 1.5 to 2 hours, then preheat the oven to 375°F.
Bake the Focaccia
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and fragrant.
Prepare the Icing
- Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Drizzle and Serve
- Drizzle icing over the warm focaccia, slice, and serve.

Notes
Ensure your sourdough starter is active before using it to maximize rise and flavor. Patience pays off with longer fermentation allowing for enhanced flavor.
