Sweet Focaccia with Raspberry Jam 

This recipe from A Paige of Positivity transforms focaccia into a sweet, jam‑filled treat. A light, airy dough is swirled with tangy raspberry jam and baked to golden perfection, then finished with a powdered sugar glaze that crackles like a jelly doughnut. Each bite delivers a delightful contrast of soft bread, fruity jam, and sweet icing—ideal for breakfast, dessert, or a special snack. Simple yet playful, it's a fun baking project that invites sharing and savoring with a cup of coffee or tea. 

Ingredients

• 1 packet active dry yeast
  
  

• 2 cups (about 240 g) all‑purpose flour
  
  

• 2 cups (about 240 g) bread flour
  
  

• 2 tsp granulated sugar
  
  

• 2 tsp salt
  
  

• 6 Tbsp olive oil (plus extra for pan)
  
  

• 1¾ cups water (warm)
  
  

• 1 jar raspberry jam (about 1 cup)
  
  

• 2 cups powdered sugar (for glaze)
  
  

• 2 Tbsp milk (or water, for glaze)
  
  

• Optional: ⅛ tsp vanilla extract or lemon juice/zest for tart glaze variation
  
  

Directions

1. Combine warm water, yeast, sugar and let activate until foamy (about 5 minutes).
   
   

2. In a large bowl, mix both flours and salt; add yeast mixture and 6 Tbsp olive oil. Stir until a sticky dough forms.
   
   

3. Knead briefly, then transfer to a greased bowl. Cover and let rise 1–2 hours, until doubled.
   
   

4. Grease a baking sheet or pan with oil. Press or stretch dough into it, then dimple the surface. Cover and allow a second rise (~1 hour).
   
   

5. Preheat oven to 220 °C (430 °F). Bake focaccia for 18–23 minutes until deep golden.
   
   

6. While still warm, poke holes in the focaccia (a straw works well) and pipe or spoon raspberry jam into each.
   
   

7. Whisk together powdered sugar and milk (plus vanilla or lemon if using) into a drizzleable glaze.
   
   

8. Place focaccia on a rack over a tray. Pour glaze over the top, brushing sides and bottom edges. Let set at least 30 minutes before slicing.
