Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • 2 cups All-purpose flour provides the essential structure for this bread.
  • 1 tsp Instant yeast acts as the leavening agent for that perfect rise.
  • 1 tsp Sugar enhances yeast activation; honey or agave can be delightful substitutions.
  • 0.5 tsp Salt balances flavors and strengthens the gluten in the dough.
  • 0.75 cup Warm water hydrating the dough ensures a fluffy texture; be careful not to make it too hot.
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil adds moisture and enhances flavor; melted coconut oil works well for a vegan option.
For the Topping
  • 0.25 cup Melted butter enriches the focaccia; feel free to use dairy-free butter for a vegan treat.
  • 0.5 cup Granulated sugar used for the delightful cinnamon sugar topping; brown sugar can add a richer flavor.
  • 1 tsp Ground cinnamon brings warmth and spice; consider pumpkin pie spice for a unique twist.
For the Fillings
  • 0.33 cup Strawberry or raspberry jam provides pockets of fruity sweetness; swapping for apricot or blueberry jam can spice things up!

Method
 

How to Make Jam Donut Focaccia
  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Gradually pour in the warm water and olive oil, mixing until you form a soft dough that sticks slightly to your fingers.
  2. Knead the Dough: Transfer the mixture onto a lightly floured surface, and knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes. Aim for a smooth and elastic texture, which will feel soft but not sticky.
  3. Let it Rise: Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
  4. Shape the Dough: Once risen, gently punch down the dough to release air. Grease a baking tray and spread the dough evenly across. Use your fingers to make dimples all over the surface.
  5. Add the Jam: Spoon dollops of your chosen jam into each dimple on the dough. Be generous to ensure each bite is infused with fruity goodness!
  6. Second Rise: Allow the dough to rest for 20 minutes as you preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This helps the focaccia rise a little more.
  7. Bake: Place the tray in the oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the focaccia is golden brown and the jam starts bubbling.
  8. Cinnamon Sugar Topping: Once baked, remove your focaccia from the oven and brush the top with melted butter. Immediately sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture generously on top while it's still warm.
