🛒 Ingredients

✓ 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
✓ 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (plain, non-fat)
✓ 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk, warmed
✓ 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
✓ 1 1/2 tsp instant yeast
✓ 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
✓ 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
✓ 2 tbsp honey
✓ 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil (for filling)
✓ 2 tbsp coconut sugar
✓ 1 tsp monk fruit sweetener blend
✓ 2 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
✓ 2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt (for glaze)
✓ 1 tbsp honey (for glaze)
✓ 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (for glaze)
✓ Pinch of fleur de sel for topping

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Activate Yeast: Whisk warmed almond milk with honey in a small bowl. Sprinkle yeast over top and let sit 5 minutes until foamy, indicating yeast is alive and ready.

2. Build Dough Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and fine sea salt. Create a well in the center and add Greek yogurt, yeast mixture, olive oil, and vanilla extract. Stir with a wooden spoon until shaggy dough forms.

3. Knead & Develop: Knead dough on a lightly floured surface for 6–7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Dough should be slightly sticky but hold its shape. If too wet, dust with 1 tbsp flour.

4. First Rise: Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm spot for 45 minutes until doubled in size.

5. Shape & Fill: Punch down dough and gently stretch into a 10×6 inch rectangle on parchment paper. Brush with 1 tbsp olive oil. Mix coconut sugar, monk fruit blend, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle filling evenly over dough. Starting from the long end, tightly roll up into a log, then coil into a spiral and gently flatten to 1 inch thick.

6. Second Rise: Cover focaccia with damp towel and let rise for 20 minutes until puffy and slightly domed.

7. Dimple & Bake: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Using oiled fingertips, gently press dimples across the entire surface of focaccia (a focaccia signature). Bake for 24–28 minutes until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.

8. Make Glaze: Whisk together 2 tbsp Greek yogurt, 1 tbsp honey, and 1/2 tsp vanilla until smooth. Brush warm focaccia generously with glaze immediately after removing from oven. Sprinkle with fleur de sel.

9. Cool & Serve: Let focaccia cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Slice into 2 generous portions and serve warm. Best enjoyed within 2 hours of baking.
