  • 400 g warm water (about 1 ⅔ cups)
  • 10 g salt (1 ½ teaspoons)
  • 510 g unbleached flour (about 3 ½ cups)
  • Avocado cooking spray (or any cooking spray of your choice)
  • 30 g salted butter (melted, about 2 tablespoons)

  • 100 g brown sugar (1/2 cup)
  • 2 g vanilla extract (1/2 teaspoon)

  • 120 g powdered sugar (about 1 cup)
  • 30 g milk (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 2 g vanilla extract (1/2 teaspoon, for icing)

Instructions

  1. Night Before Baking: In a mixing bowl, combine the active sourdough starter, warm water, salt, and unbleached flour. Mix until fully incorporated, cover, and let rise overnight.
  2. Prepare the Next Day: Preheat the oven to 375°F and grease the baking dish with melted butter.
  3. Make the Dough: Once the dough has risen, add the remaining salted butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Mix well and gently fold in the diced apples.
  4. Shape the Focaccia: Pour the dough into the prepared baking dish and allow it to rise for another 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
  6. Prepare the Icing: Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth while baking.
  7. Drizzle the Icing: Once baked, let the focaccia cool slightly before drizzling the icing on top.
