Description

A playful twist on classic focaccia — soft, pillowy sourdough baked with pockets of sweet jelly and finished with a smooth vanilla glaze. It tastes like a giant jelly donut you can pull apart and share.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 batch sourdough focaccia dough, room temperature
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup strawberry or grape jelly
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 3 tbsp whole milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Generously oil a baking pan with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil.
  2. Press the room-temperature focaccia dough gently into the pan, stretching it to fit while keeping its air bubbles intact.
  3. Dimple the dough with your fingertips and drizzle with the remaining olive oil.
  4. Spoon small dollops of jelly evenly across the surface, allowing some to sink into the dimples.
  5. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden and puffed.
  6. While the focaccia cools slightly, make the glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
  7. Drizzle the warm focaccia generously with the glaze before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use a high-quality, active sourdough dough for the best airy texture.
  • Swap jelly flavors — raspberry and blackberry work beautifully.
  • Add sprinkles on top for a fun bakery-style finish.
