Step-by-Step Instructions
- Activate Yeast: In a mixing bowl, combine warm water with sugar. Sprinkle yeast, stir gently, and let sit for 10-15 minutes until frothy.
- Mix Dough: In a separate bowl, whisk together bread flour and salt. Add yeast mixture and olive oil to the flour. Stir until a sticky dough forms.
- First Rise: Cover dough and place in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours.
- Second Rise: Preheat oven to 450°F. Grease baking pan with butter, transfer cold dough, dimple it, cover, and let rise for 1.5 to 2 hours.
- Prepare Brown Butter: Melt unsalted butter in a saucepan, stirring until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
- Make Cinnamon Topping: Combine light brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl, pour in brown butter, and stir until combined.
- Dimple Dough: Press deep dimples into the dough surface and drizzle cinnamon-butter mixture over it.
- Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown and puffed.
- Finish with Icing: Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Drizzle over warm focaccia before serving.

Notes
Be patient while allowing dough to rise fully for the best flavor and texture. Handle the sticky dough with care to maintain its airy quality.
