Description

A sweet, glossy pull-apart focaccia topped with toasted pecans and a caramel-like glaze, perfect for brunch or with coffee.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups (360 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp instant yeast
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 cup (240 ml) warm water (100–110°F / 38–43°C)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups toasted pecan halves

Instructions

  1. Mix the flour, yeast, salt, sugar, warm water, and olive oil until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
  2. Let rise for 45–60 minutes until doubled in size.
  3. Deflate and spread the dough into a well-buttered 9×13-inch pan.
  4. Melt butter with brown sugar and honey, pour into the pan, and scatter toasted pecans on top.
  5. Lay the dough over the topping and rest for 20–30 minutes before baking.
  6. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes until golden.
  7. Invert the pan onto a wire rack to reveal the sticky pecans.

Notes

Store at room temperature for 1–2 days or refrigerate for up to 4 days. Can be frozen for up to 2 months; reheat in the oven to restore texture.
