Method
 

Dough Preparation
  1. Combine the active sourdough starter with warm water, whisking until dissolved. Mix in salt and flour until a cohesive dough forms. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
  2. Perform a set of stretch and folds to develop the dough's structure, then let rest again for 30 minutes.
  3. Transfer dough to a greased bowl, cover loosely, and let ferment for about 4 hours.
  4. Line a 9x13 baking dish with parchment and spread melted butter. Gently stretch dough to fit the dish.
Topping and Baking
  1. Prepare the apple topping by cooking diced apples with butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon for about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Fold one-third of the apple mixture into the dough, then let rise covered for one hour.
  3. Preheat oven to 425°F, create dimples on the dough, and spread remaining apple mixture over the top.
  4. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
Glazing
  1. Cool for 10 minutes, then prepare glaze and brush it over the warm focaccia before slicing.
