Cinnamon Focaccia Squares
Lisa Pearson

Ingredients:

2 cups very warm water

1 tablespoon active dry yeast

3 cups bread flour

1 cup all purpose flour

1 tablespoon sea salt

1/4 cup butter, melted

Cinnamon sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar


Directions:



In a large mixing bowl, mix flour and salt. Add yeast and water. Stir with a spoon
until dough starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl and is smooth.


Cover dough and let rise for 1 hour.

Pour onto greased cookie sheet or onto parchment paper lined baking sheet or SILPAT.

With greased hands, spread dough on SILPAT. Using your knuckles...spread dough out forming holes in the dough...you will want to form a rectangular shape.

Using a silicone pastry brush, brush melted butter onto bread.

Sprinkle generously with cinnamon sugar and brown sugar.

Bake at 350* for about 20 minutes or until bread is golden brown.

Cool just a tad and cut into squares using a pair of scissors {THANKS MOM!}

Drizzle with a powdered sugar glaze OR dip in melted butter and spread with cream cheese frosting. We are not paying attention to calories here! Aside from that, we are all about comfort food since we are almost back to chilly weather, HOT baths and warm flannel jammies!

We are packing for our trip to the East Coast and are looking forward to the beautiful colors, childhood friends and lots of history lessons along the way...and best of all...no laundry to wake up to on Monday.  We will be far far away from the dirty clothes hampers, washer and dryer!  YAY!

Love to YOU!
