Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine room temperature water, instant yeast, bread flour, and fine sea salt until no dry flour remains.
- Let the dough rest for 10 minutes before adding melted unsalted butter and gently folding it in until fully incorporated.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise at room temperature for about 2 hours.
- Prepare a 9x13-inch baking pan by coating it with olive oil and melted unsalted butter.
- Once the dough has risen, stretch it gently to fill the pan and spread half of the cinnamon-sugar filling over one half.
- Fold the dough over itself and let it rise again for 1 to 2 hours, covered with a damp cloth.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Drizzle the remaining filling across the dough surface and dimple the dough with oiled fingertips.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, until golden-brown and reaching an internal temperature of 190°F (88°C).
- Allow to cool in the pan for about 20 minutes before whisking together the icing ingredients and drizzling over the cooled focaccia.
