Ingredients

Scale

Dough Base

  • 1 batch pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)

Topping

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Icing

  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Press the pizza dough evenly into a greased or parchment-lined baking pan, making sure it covers the entire surface with a slight thickness for a soft focaccia base.
  2. Mix Cinnamon Sugar Topping: In a bowl, combine the brown sugar and ground cinnamon thoroughly. This mixture will give the focaccia its signature sweet spice flavor.
  3. Apply Butter and Toppings: Brush the melted butter generously over the surface of the dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly on top, ensuring every bite is flavorful.
  4. Bake the Focaccia: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the dough for about 20-25 minutes, or until the focaccia is golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Prepare the Icing: While the focaccia bakes, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and pourable. Adjust the milk to reach desired consistency.
  6. Drizzle the Icing: Once the focaccia is baked and slightly cooled, drizzle the prepared icing over the top evenly to add a sweet finishing touch.
  7. Serve: Slice the cinnamon roll focaccia into squares or strips and serve warm or at room temperature for a delicious treat.

Notes

  • You can use store-bought pizza dough to save time or make your own for a fresh homemade touch.
  • Adjust the cinnamon and sugar quantities to your taste preferences.
  • The icing can be made thicker or thinner by varying the milk amount to suit your desired drip effect.
  • This recipe is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • Try adding nuts like chopped pecans or walnuts on top before baking for extra texture.
