Ingredients
360g bread flour
2 tsp instant yeast
1 tsp salt
300ml warm water
2 tbsp olive oil
2 medium apples, diced
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup powdered sugar
2 tbsp milk or cream
Instructions
1. Combine bread flour, yeast, salt, warm water, and olive oil in a bowl. Mix until sticky dough forms. Cover and rest for 30 minutes.
2. Stretch and fold dough several times in the bowl. Cover and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
3. Peel and dice apples. Toss with brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla. Set aside.
4. Oil a baking pan and press the dough into it. Dimple the surface with fingertips. Scatter apple mixture over the top.
5. Let dough rise again in the pan for 20 to 30 minutes while preheating oven to 425°F (220°C).
6. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown and apples are caramelized.
7. Mix powdered sugar with milk or cream and a splash of vanilla. Drizzle over warm focaccia.
Notes
Let the apples sit in the sugar mixture for more flavor depth.
Use bread flour for the ideal chewy texture.
For a twist, swap apples for pears or mix in chopped nuts.
