Sourdough Cinnamon Roll Focaccia Bread

here is a recipe for Sourdough Cinnamon Roll Focaccia Bread:

Ingredients:

For the Dough:

• 500g bread flour
• 300g active sourdough starter
• 325ml water
• 10g salt
• 50ml olive oil

For the Cinnamon Filling:

• 100g unsalted butter, softened
• 150g brown sugar
• 2 tbsp ground cinnamon

For the Topping:

• 2 tbsp melted butter
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread flour, active sourdough starter, and water. Mix until the ingredients are well incorporated.
   • Let the mixture rest for 30 minutes (this is called autolyze).
   • After 30 minutes, add the salt and olive oil to the dough. Mix well until fully incorporated.
   • Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let it rest at room temperature for 4 hours, performing a series of stretches and folds every 30 minutes during the first 2 hours.
2. First Rise:
   • After 4 hours, the dough should be bubbly and have increased in size.
   • Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover it, and place it in the refrigerator overnight for a slow fermentation.
3. Prepare the Cinnamon Filling:
   • In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until well combined. Set aside.
4. Shape the Dough:
   • The next day, remove the dough from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature (about 1-2 hours).
   • Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F).
   • Transfer the dough to a well-oiled baking sheet, and gently stretch and press it out to fit the sheet.
   • Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the dough.
5. Second Rise:
   • Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise at room temperature for about 1-2 hours, or until it has visibly puffed up.
6. Bake the Focaccia:
   • Before baking, make dimples all over the dough with your fingers.
   • Drizzle the melted butter over the top and sprinkle with the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon mixture.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
7. Cool and Serve:
   • Allow the focaccia to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
   • Slice and serve as a delicious cinnamon roll-inspired treat!
