Homemade Jam Donut Focaccia (Printer-Friendly)

Airy focaccia dough layered with raspberry jam and finished with a sweet sugar glaze.

# List of Ingredients:

→ Dough

01 - 1 3/4 cups warm water (105-115°F)
02 - 2 teaspoons sugar (optional if using instant yeast)
03 - 1 packet active dry yeast
04 - 2 cups bread flour
05 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
06 - 2 teaspoons salt
07 - 6 tablespoons olive oil, divided

→ Filling

08 - 1 jar raspberry preserves

→ Glaze

09 - 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
10 - 2 to 4 tablespoons whole milk

# Preparation Steps:

01 - In a small bowl, combine warm water and sugar, then sprinkle active dry yeast over the surface. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
02 - In a stand mixer bowl, blend the yeast mixture with bread flour, all-purpose flour, and salt on low speed until a sticky dough forms.
03 - Grease a large bowl with olive oil, transfer dough into it, cover with a towel, and allow to rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
04 - Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with olive oil. Punch down the dough, place into pan, fold to coat with oil, cover loosely, and let rise for 1 hour.
05 - Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) while the dough completes its second rise.
06 - After the second rise, poke deep holes into the dough and spoon raspberry preserves across the surface, allowing some to seep into the openings.
07 - Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 22 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven and optionally add extra preserves on top.
08 - Mix confectioners’ sugar with milk to desired consistency. Once focaccia cools slightly, spread glaze evenly over the top.
09 - Cut into squares and serve fresh for optimal flavor and texture.

# Additional Suggestions:

01 - For best results, ensure yeast is fresh and bubbly before mixing.
