Ingredients
  

Vegan Focaccia Bread

  • 1 cup lukewarm water
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil plus more for drizzling
  • 2 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ¼ cup regular or gluten free all purpose flour If gluten-free, I recommend King Arthur Measure for Measure gluten-free flour. Please don't substitute any other flour such as almond flour, baking flour, etc.

Cinnamon Sugar Topping

  • 2 tablespoon melted vegan butter
  • 3 tablespoon cane sugar
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon

Vegan Vanilla Icing

  • ¾ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened almond or oat milk
  • ½ tablespoon melted vegan butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400
  • Mix the water, extra virgin olive oil, maple syrup, baking powder, and vanilla together. Then, add the flour and mix until a thick bread dough forms.
  • Transfer the dough into a greased round baking dish (about 10-12 inches in diameter). Option to drizzle the top with a tablespoon of olive oil and use your finger tips to gently press down to create dimples in the focaccia. Bake for 15-17 minutes or until it has completely risen and is lightly golden. Broil it for 1-2 minutes at the end until golden.
  • While the vegan focaccia bread is baking, in a small bowl melt 2 tablespoon of vegan butter and set aside. Then, in a separate bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon together.
  • You may also make vegan vanilla icing to drizzle on top of the cinnamon sugar bread. Do this by whisking the powdered sugar, almond milk, melted vegan butter, and vanilla together.
  • Once the vegan focaccia bread is done baking, allow it to cool and then evenly distribute the melted butter over the top of the focaccia. You may use a brush or spoon to ensure the entire bread is covered. Then, sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar over the top. Before serving, drizzle the icing over the cinnamon sugar bread and slice into 12 slices. Enjoy!
