- Medium mixing bowl
- Dough whisk
- Kitchen towel
- Small saucepan
- Small whisk
- Measuring cups
- Measuring spoons
- 9×13 glass baking dish
- Kitchen scale (if using gram measurements)
Ingredients
Sourdough Focaccia Dough
- 200 g active sourdough starter about 1 cup
- 400 g warm water about 1 ⅔ cups (warm water between 100℉ – 110℉, no hotter)
- 10 g salt 1 ½ teaspoons
- 510 g unbleached flour about 3 ½ cups
- avocado cooking spray or cooking spray of choice for spraying 2nd mixing bowl and baking dish
Cinnamon Roll Focaccia Topping
- 113 g salted butter 1/2 cup or 1 stick
- 250 g brown sugar about 3/4 cup
- 4 g vanilla extract about 1 teaspoon
- 6.5 g ground cinnamon about 2 ½ teaspoons
Vanilla Icing Glaze
- 120 g powdered sugar about 1 cup
- 4 g vanilla extract about 1 teaspoon
- 30-45 g milk or cream 2-3 Tablespoons (more for thinner glaze, less for thicker glaze)
Instructions
Sourdough Focaccia Dough
- Mix Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine active sourdough starter and water. Whisk to combine until starter is evenly dissolved.
- Add salt and flour to mixture and whisk to combine to form dough. Dough will be very wet and sticky and not come together right away. This is normal! Let dough rest for 30 minutes.
- 1 Set of Stretch and Folds: After 30 minute rest, perform 1 set of stretch and folds. You only need 1 set during the bulk fermentation for this recipe. The dough will still be very wet, shaggy, and stretchy even after stretch and folds.How to stretch and fold: With slightly wet fingers, grab one side of the dough and stretch the dough upward. Fold the dough into the center. Slightly rotate the bowl and repeat 8-10 times until all sides of the dough have been stretched up and folded into the center. This is 1 set of stretch and folds.
- Bulk Fermentation (or 1st Proof)*: Spray 2nd mixing bowl with avocado cooking spray (or cooking spray of choice). Since this dough is very sticky and wet, cooking spray helps the dough transfer better. Transfer dough to greased mixing bowl and cover with a damp kitchen towel. Place in an oven (not turned on) with oven light on. *See Note about using warmth to speed up rise times.
- Let dough sit covered for about 3 hours or until the dough has grown in size by 50% to 75%. And is bubbly, jiggly, and passes the poke test. Always rely on visual cues for bulk fermentation versus a timer. Fermentation time depends on strength of your sourdough starter, what type of flour you use, and how warm your kitchen is.How to do the poke test: Wet a finger with water and poke the dough. If the dough springs slowly and leaves a slight indentation, it's ready. If the dough springs back quickly, it needs more time to proof.
- Once dough is proofed, spray 9×13 glass baking pan with avocado oil (or cooking spray of choice). Transfer dough to greased baking pan and do 1 set of stretch and folds (fold dough in on itself) once more.Overnight Instructions: At this point you can cover the dough and refrigerate it overnight or up to 12 hours before proceeding with a 2nd proof and baking. If baking after removing from fridge, keep in mind it may need to rise longer for the 2nd proof.
- 2nd Proof: Cover pan with damp kitchen towel. Place pan back in oven with the oven light on for a 2nd rise for 1 hour or until the dough has nearly doubled in size and mostly filled pan. The dough will be pillowy and bubbly, and will have expanded to nearly reach the edges. *See Note about using warmth to speed up rise times.
- After 2nd proof, remove baking pan from oven and sit on counter while you make the topping. Preheat the oven to 425℉ while you make the topping.
Cinnamon Roll Focaccia Topping
- Make Cinnamon Roll Topping: In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Whisk to combine and remove from heat as soon as ingredients are melted together.
- Dimple Dough: Wet fingers and poke the dough to create "dimples." Gently push the dough all over to expand it fully in the pan. The dough should be bubbly and dimpled all over.
- Bake Focaccia: When the oven is preheated to 425℉, pour cinnamon sugar topping all over dimpled dough in the pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes until focaccia is bubbling and golden brown.
Vanilla Icing Glaze
- Mix and Add Glaze: While focaccia is cooling in the pan, mix together glaze. Combine powdered sugar and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Add milk or cream a little at a time until you've reached your desired glaze consistency. Drizzle glaze over slightly cooled focaccia. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
Notes
- The #1 KEY TIP to this same day recipe is using warmth to speed up the rise times. Keep the dough in a warm place like an oven with the light on, by a warm stove, OR placed in an oven that has been preheated to 170 degrees Fahrenheit and then turned off and allowed to slightly cool with the door open before placing dough inside.
- Rise times for a sourdough recipe can be impacted by kitchen temperature, elevation, and many other factors. Always rely on visual cues for bulk fermentation and proofing versus relying on a timer.
- Using 200 grams of active starter means this recipe ferments and rises faster. Using a light in a turned-off oven provides a warmer environment and quicker fermentation. Proof times may be longer if left out on the counter or placed in a cooler area.
- Using a damp kitchen towel to cover the bowl keeps the dough from drying out during proofing.
- This dough is very wet and sticky pretty much the whole time. That’s okay! This leads to a soft focaccia in the end. But it’s also why using cooking oil like avocado oil, coconut oil, or olive oil is important to make the dough easier to transfer for baking.
This recipe breaks a lot of sourdough “rules.” I use stainless steel mixing bowls and have quicker fermentation times with this same day sourdough focaccia. I put my dough in the oven with the light turned on and don’t do a cold proof in the fridge. But you totally can put it in the fridge overnight if you want to make it ahead to bake in the morning!
There are only 2 sets of stretch and folds. No fancy folding, all sourdough starter as the leaven, and it can be made same day. Sometimes we can take a good thing (like a delicious sourdough cinnamon roll focaccia recipe) and overcomplicated it. This is the simplest and best sourdough cinnamon roll focaccia out there! Anyone can make this.
Sample Same Day Sourdough Focaccia Baking Schedule
The #1 KEY TIP to this same day recipe is using warmth to speed up the rise times. Keep the dough in a warm place like an oven with the light on, by a warm stove, OR placed in an oven that has been preheated to 170 degrees Fahrenheit and then turned off and allowed to slightly cool with the door open before placing dough inside.
| Morning | |
| 7:30am | Feed sourdough starter and put in warm place.* Let rise for 4 hours or until bubbly and active. *Starter can also be fed the night before and left out on counter overnight so you can mix up the dough immediately in the morning. This is a way to shorten the same day baking schedule if needed. |
| 11:30am | Mix up focaccia dough. Let sit for 30 minutes in a bowl covered with damp kitchen towel. |
| Afternoon | |
| 12:00pm | Do one set of stretch and folds. Transfer dough to greased bowl. Cover with damp towel and place in oven with the oven light turned on. |
| Let sit for bulk ferment for 3 hours. Check on dough periodically to gauge how fermented dough is getting. | |
| 3:00pm | Check on dough and do the poke test. Wet a finger with water and poke the dough. If the dough springs slowly and leaves a slight indentation, it’s ready. If the dough springs back quickly, it needs more time to proof. |
| If dough is properly fermented, place dough in greased glass baking pan. Do another set of stretch and folds. Cover pan with damp kitchen towel and place back in oven with oven light on for 1 hour for the 2nd proof. | |
| 4:00pm | Remove pan from oven when dough is ready and place on counter. Preheat oven to 425 Fahrenheit and make the cinnamon roll topping. |
| Dimple the dough and pour topping over evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. | |
| 4:30pm | Mix up vanilla icing glaze and drizzle over slightly cooled focaccia. Slice and serve. |

Sourdough Cinnamon Roll Focaccia Ingredients
This recipe uses all pantry staples: flour, salt, water, butter, cinnamon, vanilla extract, brown sugar, powdered sugar, and of course, sourdough starter. For the focaccia dough you’ll need the basics:
- Active sourdough starter – You’ll need to use sourdough starter that has been fed in the last 12 hours. We’re looking for active and bubbly starter here.
- Unbleached flour – My favorite unbleached flour is the organic King Arthur flour. You can use the King Arthur regular unbleached all purpose flour or the bread flour here. Either is fine.
For the cinnamon roll topping and vanilla icing glaze, a couple ingredients can be easily swapped out depending on what you have on hand.
- Butter – You can use salted or unsalted for this recipe.
- Vanilla extract – Maybe I’m biased, but there is nothing like the flavor of homemade vanilla extract. I think it levels up any sweet treat recipe. Any kind of vanilla extract will do, but if you want to kick it up a notch, use homemade.
- Cream or milk – You can use either cream or milk to make the vanilla icing glaze. Just use whatever you prefer or have readily available.
A full ingredient list with exact amounts can be found in the recipe card above.
How to Make Sourdough Cinnamon Roll Focaccia Bread: Step-by-Step (With Photos)
This is one of the easiest sourdough dessert recipes to make! Follow along below for the full how-to.
Step 1: Mix Dough – In a large mixing bowl, combine active sourdough starter and water. Whisk to combine until starter is evenly dissolved. Here is the Danish dough whisk pictured here.
Step 2: Add salt and flour to mixture and whisk to combine to form dough. Dough will be very wet and sticky and not come together right away. This is normal! Let dough rest for 30 minutes.
Step 3: 1 Set of Stretch and Folds – After 30 minute rest, perform 1 set of stretch and folds. You only need 1 set during the bulk fermentation for this recipe. The dough will still be very wet, shaggy, and stretchy even after stretch and folds.
How to stretch and fold: With slightly wet fingers, grab one side of the dough and stretch the dough upward. Fold the dough into the center. Slightly rotate the bowl and repeat 8-10 times until all sides of the dough have been stretched up and folded into the center. This is 1 set of stretch and folds.
Step 4: Bulk Fermentation (or 1st Proof) – Spray 2nd mixing bowl with avocado cooking spray (or cooking spray of choice). Since this dough is very sticky and wet, cooking spray helps the dough transfer better. Transfer dough to greased mixing bowl and cover with a damp kitchen towel. Place in an oven (not turned on) with oven light on.
Step 5: Let dough sit covered for about 3 hours or until the dough has grown in size by 50% to 75%. And is bubbly, jiggly, and passes the poke test. Always rely on visual cues for bulk fermentation versus a timer. Fermentation time depends on strength of your sourdough starter, what type of flour you use, and how warm your kitchen is.
How to do the poke test: Wet a finger with water and poke the dough. If the dough springs slowly and leaves a slight indentation, it’s ready. If the dough springs back quickly, it needs more time to proof.
Step 6: Once dough is proofed, spray 9×13 glass baking pan with avocado oil (or cooking spray of choice). Transfer dough to greased baking pan and do 1 set of stretch and folds (fold dough in on itself) once more.
Overnight Instructions: At this point you can cover the dough and refrigerate it overnight or up to 12 hours before proceeding with a 2nd proof and baking. If baking after removing from fridge, keep in mind it may need to rise longer for the 2nd proof.
Step 7: 2nd Proof – Cover pan with damp kitchen towel. Place pan back in oven with the oven light on for a 2nd rise for 1 hour or until the dough has nearly doubled in size and mostly filled pan. The dough will be pillowy and bubbly, and will have expanded to nearly reach the edges.
Step 8: After 2nd proof, remove baking pan from oven and sit on counter while you make the topping. Preheat the oven to 425℉ while you make the topping.
Step 9: Make Cinnamon Roll Topping – In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Whisk to combine and remove from heat as soon as ingredients are melted together.
Step 10: Dimple Dough – Wet fingers and poke the dough to create “dimples.” Gently push the dough all over to expand it fully in the pan. The dough should be bubbly and dimpled all over.
Step 11: Bake Focaccia – When the oven is preheated to 425℉, pour cinnamon sugar topping all over dimpled dough in the pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes until focaccia is bubbling and golden brown.
Step 12: Mix and Add Glaze – While focaccia is cooling in the pan, mix together glaze. Combine powdered sugar and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Add milk or cream a little at a time until you’ve reached your desired glaze consistency. Drizzle glaze over slightly cooled focaccia. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
How to Make Ahead
This can be made ahead and kept in the fridge overnight. After the dough has finished its bulk ferment and been placed in the greased glass baking dish, perform second set of stretch and folds. Then cover the baking pan and refrigerate the dough overnight or up to 12 hours before proceeding with a 2nd proof and baking.
When ready to bake, remove the pan from the fridge and bring it to room temperature on the counter. Proceed with instructions for the 2nd proof, allowing extra time for the 2nd proof since the dough has been chilled. Once fully proofed (nearly doubled in size and filling the pan), proceed with instructions to dimple the dough, add topping, and bake as outlined in the recipe card above.
How to Serve
Serve alongside an egg casserole and fresh fruit for a special holiday breakfast. Or serve with a cup of decaf coffee for an after-dinner sweet treat.
How to Store
Store any leftover sourdough cinnamon roll focaccia in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days. If it lasts that long!

I made this today and WOW! I’ve been baking for a long time and this recipe blows others out of the water. This now will be a staple and I think will get the coveted Christmas morning spot. Thank you so much!
Wow, the Christmas morning spot! That is high praise. Thank you so much and I’m so glad you enjoyed!
Can I shape the bread into little balls instead, so it’s easy to pull it away with hands? Kind a like a monkey bread ?
I was also confused why I should add salt right away for autolyse stage.
Hi, Kasia. The dough can be sticky so making little balls might be tricky but you can certainly try it! I’d toss them in some melted butter before adding them to the pan for the second rise so they stay more separate (like monkey bread). As for the salt, I always just add mine all together.
This looks amazing. How should I feed my starter to make this? such as 1:1:1 etc. Was thinking of feeding night before.
Hi, Kayla! It depends on how much starter you already have on hand. You’ll need 200 grams (or about 1 cup) of active starter for this recipe. So I’d recommend a 1:1:1 feed if you have at least half a cup already. Or a 1:2:2 feed if you need more. Either one will work! Happy baking!
I’ve made this many times, everyone loves it.
I do the glaze different though. I make a cream cheese glaze and thin it with fireball whiskey, cause why not.
Thank you for such an easy and tasty recipe
Oh my, that cream cheese glaze sounds delicious! I’m so glad everyone loves it, Kathy. Thank you for sharing!
How do you reheat if you make the day before ?
Hi, Christina. If reheating the whole pan I would not add the glaze until just before serving. I’d cover with foil and reheat at 250F for a few minutes (up to you how warmed you’d like it to be). Then add the glaze before serving to keep everything fresh. Hopes this helps!
Awesome so I’ll let it cool, cover it with tinfoil and put in fridge and reheat tomorrow and then put the icing on!
I didn’t see a message so I did that. Should I be worried?
I realized putting it in fridge might not have been ideal. Should I take out and leave at room temp until tonight?
Please advise
Hi, Christina. Sorry I didn’t see your comment in time! I would not recommend putting it in the fridge next time; I’d just leave it covered on the counter at room temperature. It will rewarm best from room temp, not cold.
This is one of the best deserts I’ve ever had. Great recipe and easy to follow. Can’t wait to try it again!
So glad you love it!
I love that this is a simple one day recipe. Thank you for sharing!

This looks delicious! Yum 🙂 Saving for later!
Hope you enjoy as much as we do!
Can’t wait to try this!
Give it a whirl and let me know what you think. It’s one of our favorites!
I love bending recipes. I always associate focaccia with savory but this sweet version looks delightful!
Isn’t it fun? I definitely tend to choose sweet over savory so this is a fun twist. Hope you enjoy!
This looks yummy! Really handy to have a timeline to use or tweak as well! Thank you 🙂
Glad the timeline is helpful. Makes incorporating sourdough baking into a busy day a little easier! Enjoy!
This looks soooo good! Thanks for sharing, can’t wait to try it!
Of course! It’s too good to keep to myself.
makes my mouth water! we love sourdough!
this looks amazing! I really need to start making sourdough recipes
I love all things sourdough! I actually make wild yeast or natural yeast which is the same as sourdough just a different flavor so I’m excited to try it in this recipe!
This looks delicious! Cant wait to try making it.
This looks SO good! I love all things made with sourdough and am really excited to try this!
Absolutely amazing! Thank you for all the details!
Wasted a very nice sourdough with this recipe. It is tasty, but the sugar/butter mixture caramelized hard, and it does not come out of the dish easily. It’s a hot mess. Any suggestions?
Is sourdough ever wasted if it’s tasty? 🙂 Maybe it would help next time to make sure the sides of the pan are completely oiled top to bottom to avoid sticking. You could also try baking it in parchment paper, I would just trim the edges so it doesn’t burn. There are lots of options to avoid sticking and remember focaccia is a very different texture than say, a coffee cake. As for the caramelizing cinnamon sugar, it’s important to remove the mixture from the stove as soon as everything is melted. Perhaps next time you could bake the focaccia halfway, add the cinnamon sugar mixture and then continue to fully bake if you want it softer. It will naturally caramelize on the edges from baking at a high heat, which is why fully greasing is important. I’m glad it was tasty! Please report back with any improvements you make next time.
nice! will be perfect for a brunch!
Couldn’t agree more!
You had me at cinnamon roll! Printed and trying. Thanks!
Let me know when you try it. It’s a favorite around here.
This looks so good, can’t wait to make it! Please make an apple fritter version!
Ooh! An apple fritter version would be so good! Great suggestion, I’ll work on it.
Thank you so much for this recipe! I followed your timeline exactly, and it turned out perfectly. As a total sourdough newbie, I was really surprised at the depth of flavor it adds to a sweet dish like this. We will definitely be making this one again!
I’m so glad you loved and found the sample timeline helpful. Sourdough really enhances the flavor many different types of dishes, but I especially like how it enhances sweet recipes like this one!
My children LOVE cinnamon rolls and they were so excited to try this. I was a little nervous they wouldn’t love it because it is slightly different but one child told me, “Mom, can you make this every day?” So I guess it is a win! Will definitely be adding this to the rotation of foods our family loves!
I’m so glad they loved it! Being kid approved is the highest compliment. 🙂
This was SO easy! We got a last-minute dinner invitation so I ended up doing the overnight proof in the fridge and pulling it out for the final proof the next day. I’m still learning my sourdough so this was perfect!
Can I use the same focaccia dough recipe for other variations? Maybe you said that and I missed it.
Glad you loved it and how exciting to be learning sourdough! Yes, you can use the same focaccia dough recipe for different variations. Simply choose your toppings/fillings and adjust bake times as needed. Happy baking!
Great recipe. Easy to follow directions for a new sourdough baker. It was delicious. Thank you!
Sue
So glad you enjoyed, Sue! Thanks for sharing your feedback.
Absolutely fool proof instructions!! What a fabulous treat and will become a staple for my family & in my recipes!
Thank you for your feedback, Elizabeth! So glad you enjoyed it!
Delicious!
Seriously. This looks SO good! My husband would LOVE this!
Where your apple fritter version is perfect for my husband, this Sourdough Cinnamon Roll Focaccia recipe is right up my alley! Chefs kiss!
Do I need to do stretch and folds before the 2nd proof?
Or just take the dough from the fridge, and place it into the oven to rise?
Hi, Marissy! No need to do another set of stretch and folds before the 2nd proof. You can just place the dough into the baking dish.
Can this be frozen before frosting is applied? I have company coming and need to make it ahead of time.
Hi, Barbara. I’ve personally never frozen it but I’ve heard of others doing do. I would bake as directed, allow to completely cool, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and tin foil and freeze. Allow to thaw at room temperature and warm it back up in the oven before adding the glaze. Let us know how it turns out!
I have made this once already as a same day recipe and it was fantastic!
I would like to make a couple for family members so I was planning on starting the dough today then baking it first thing in the morning and taking it with me, but I will only have a couple hours total. What are your thoughts on doing both the 1st and 2nd proofs today and then refrigerating overnight and baking straight from the fridge? I suppose it would be similar to a regular loaf recipe that uses cold proofing and not a second rise.
Hi, Melisa! So glad to hear you enjoyed this as a same day recipe. I think your idea for baking it next day will work, but you will just have to experiment. But thinking through the process, it would be similar to a recipe that uses cold proofing (as you said) so I think it would have the same result. I’m curious so please report back with how it turns out using that method! 🙂
Followed steps exactly and it turned out so good! I did do the overnight proof option and had to let it rise about 3 hours the next morning in a warm oven before I could do the dimples. I did notice a few tops of the bubbles started to burn as it was baking so I lightly covered it with foil and baked about 20 min total in a metal pan. This recipe is a keeper!
So glad you enjoyed, Daphne! What a great trick to keep the top bubbles from burning. Thanks for sharing!
Annabelle, you’ve done it again!! So good!!
Just finished making your sourdough cinnamon roll focaccia and it was heavenly. I’ve had a starter for well over a year and this is the first recipe I have made that I can say turned out perfectly. I added finely chopped walnuts to the cinnamon mixture.
I’ve got my eye on your coffee cake recipe next. It looks incredible. Thank you for sharing your recipes.
Thank you so much, Kathy! Please let me know you enjoy the coffee cake next! 🙂
This is so easy and SO GOOD! I definitely overcooked my sugar-butter mixture, so some of it was hard. But will take your tip on being careful with that next time. I also halved the recipe and made it in an 8×8 pan, in case anyone is wondering about halving.
Hi, Inna! So glad you enjoyed. A great tip for halving the recipe, thank you for sharing!
This turned out great! Soft, fluffy, and sweet…yum! Will definitely save this recipe and make again.
So glad to hear you loved it, Julie! Thanks for sharing!
This turned out great. Made it for breakfast and the kids loved it. Thought maybe I could have cut the cinnamon topping down by half because it was so sweet. Laster, I think if I did cut it in half, I’d add some chopped apples. It would be perfect with ice cream. Thanks for this recipe.
Thanks so much for sharing, Jerilea! Apples on a sweet sourdough focaccia is a delicious addition. Have you tried my sourdough apple fritter focaccia? You can try it here https://hellohoneycomb.blog/sourdough-apple-fritter-focaccia/. I think you’ll love it! 🙂
yum. My second sourdough bread ever. I over proofed it (second proof in oven for four hours) but it was still tasty!
So glad you enjoyed, Crystal! Thank you for sharing!
