Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup Active Starter
  • 1 1/2 cups Warm Water
  • 5 tbsp Honey
  • 2 tsp Salt
  • 1 Tsp Apple Pie spice
  • 4 cups Flour
  • 1 Cubed Honeycrisp Apple

Apple Pie Topping

  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
  • 3 tbsp Melted Butter
  • 2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/2 Tsp Apple Pie Spice

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 4 oz Softened Cream Cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups Powdered Sugar
  • 4 tbsp Milk
  • 1 tsp Vanilla
  • 3 tbsp Softened butter

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the active starter and warm water until well mixed. Once combined, add honey, salt, apple pie spice, and flour. Mix until well combined. At a certain point, it may become easier to mix with your hands.
  2. Once mixed well, cover the bowl with a damp towel or lid. Then let it rest for 30 minutes. Then perform your first round of stretch and folds. Add in a cubed Honeycrisp apple and repeat stretch and folds two more times. Cover and let bulk ferment at room temperature for 8 to 10 hours, or until the dough has at least doubled in size.
  3. Prep your baking dish with oil. Turn your dough out into your baking dish and gently spread the corners to try to fill the dish. (try to avoid popping all the bubbles) Cover and let rest for 30 minutes to an hour.
  4. Next, use your fingers to dimple the bread. (wetting your fingers with water or oil may make this easier) Once dimpled, mix melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon together until well-mixed. Pour over the dough, encouraging it to fill into the dimples.
  5. Preheat oven to 425°F. Bake the bread for 25 minutes or until golden brown. once done, pull the focaccia out and let cool a bit while you make the cream cheese frosting.
  6. Mix softened cream cheese, softened butter, and milk until smooth. Add Powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Drizzle the frosting over the focaccia while it’s still slightly warm. Allowing the frosting to soak into the bread a bit.
