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 your choice of cooking spray
30 g salted butter, melted (about 2 Tablespoons)
115 g salted butter (1/2 cup or 1 stick)

120 g powdered sugar (about 1 cup)
30 g milk (about 2 Tablespoons)

Instructions

Night Before Baking: In a large mixing bowl, combine the active sourdough starter, warm water, salt, and unbleached flour. Mix until fully incorporated and let rise overnight.
Prepare the Next Day: Preheat your oven to 375℉ and grease your baking dish with melted butter.
Make the Dough: Add remaining salted butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon to the risen dough. Mix well, then fold in the diced apples gently.
Shape the Focaccia: Pour the dough into the prepared baking dish and let it rise for 30 minutes to an hour until puffy.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.
Prepare the Icing: Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Drizzle the Icing: Let the focaccia cool for a few minutes, then drizzle the icing on top.

Notes

Use fresh apples for the best flavor, and don’t rush rising times. Experiment with adding toppings like nuts for extra texture.
