Cinnamon Focaccia

From Baldwin City, Kansas, field editor Page Alexander notes, "A cinnamon-sugar and nut topping and a drizzle of glaze add sweetness to this lovely bread."

20 ServingsPrep: 30 min. + rising Bake: 25 min.

Ingredients

6 to 6-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups warm water (120° to 130°)
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 to 1 cup chopped nuts
1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
3 to 4 tablespoons half-and-half cream

Directions

In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, yeast and salt. Add water and
oil; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a
soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and
elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to
grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about
1 hour.
Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide in
half. Pat each portion flat. Cover and let stand for 10 minutes.
Press dough into two greased 12-in. pizza pans. Prick top of dough
with a fork. Brush with butter. Combine sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle
over dough. Top with nuts. Let stand 10-15 minutes.
Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove
