Instructions
Mix the Focaccia Dough

- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment, combine water, yeast and brown sugar. Stir and set aside for 5 minutes to allow the yeast time to bloom.1 ½ Cups Water, room temperature, 1 ¾ teaspoon Active Dry Yeast, 1 teaspoon Brown Sugar
- Add the flour and salt into the bowl and turn the mixer on low speed until everything is combined. You may need to stop the mixer and scrape the sides of the bowl down.3 Cups All-Purpose Flour, 2 ½ teaspoon Kosher Salt
- Once everything is combined, turn the mixer to medium speed, and mix the dough for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, scrape the dough into the prepared cast iron pan. Turn the dough over to coat it in the oil, then cover with plastic wrap and leave it at room temperature for 1 ½-2 hours or until the dough doubles in size.
Mix the Cinnamon Sugar Filling

Add the Filling and Fold the Dough
- Remove the plastic wrap for the focaccia dough. Dollop a heaping ⅓ cup of the cinnamon filling on top of the dough. Use the back of a spoon to spread over the surface of the dough.
- Then, fold the bottom ⅓ of the dough into the center and the top ⅓ of the dough on top of that. Like folding a letter.
- Top the dough with the remaining cinnamon filling and spread it out with a spoon. Place plastic wrap on top of the skillet and allow the dough to rise for 30 more minutes.
Bake the Cinnamon Roll Focaccia
- Preheat oven to 400* F.
- After the focaccia has risen for 30 minutes, oil your hands and use your fingers to dimple the dough evenly all over. See note! Some of the cinnamon sugar will stick to your hands and thats okay.
- Bake the focaccia in a 400*F oven for 30-33 minutes or until the focaccia is golden around the edges and across the top.

Notes
When you dimple the Cinnamon Roll Focaccia dough, coat your fingers in oil. Some of the cinnamon sugar mixture will stick to you, but that's okay!
And when you dimple the focaccia, press your fingers all the way to pan!
