Description

Ingredients
1 batch sourdough focaccia dough
3 cups frozen wild blueberries
juice of 1 lemon
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon flour
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
zest and juice of 1 lemon
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup butter, melted
3 tablespoons maple syrup
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 cup powdered sugar
3 to 4 tablespoons whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
olive oil, for the pan and topping
Instructions
- Prepare sourdough focaccia dough and refrigerate overnight for slow fermentation.
- Line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper and coat with olive oil. Transfer dough and stretch to fit.
- In a saucepan, combine blueberries, lemon juice, and sugar over medium heat. Mix water and flour, stir into berries, and cook until thickened. Let cool.
- Spread half the compote over the dough, fold like an envelope, flip, and stretch back into the pan. Add remaining compote on top and let rise 1 to 3 hours until puffy.
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Whisk cream cheese, lemon zest, lemon juice, maple syrup, and vanilla until smooth. Spoon or pipe over dough.
- Drizzle olive oil and dimple the dough with fingers.
- Mix flour, melted butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, and cardamom into a crumble and sprinkle evenly.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, rotating halfway, until golden brown. Cool for at least 20 minutes.
- Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla bean paste into a glaze and drizzle over cooled focaccia. Let set before serving.
Notes
Swap blueberries with raspberries or mixed berries for variation.
Add orange zest for a brighter citrus flavor.
Include chopped nuts in the crumble for extra texture.
Reduce or skip glaze for a less sweet version.
Store at room temperature for 1 day or refrigerate up to 3 days.
Reheat gently in the oven to maintain texture.
