Step-by-Step Instructions for Blueberry Focaccia Bread
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, melted butter, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. Stir in all-purpose flour until a thick, sticky dough forms. Cover and let rise for about 1 hour.
  3. Transfer the dough to a greased 9x9-inch pan, drizzle with olive oil, stretch to fit the pan, and let rise for 15-30 minutes.
  4. Create small divots in the dough and fold in blueberries, distributing evenly.
  5. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for about 30 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Mix powdered sugar, cream cheese, and butter until smooth for the drizzle.
  7. Simmer blueberries and agave syrup in a saucepan for about 10 minutes to make the syrup.
  8. Drizzle cream cheese mixture over the cooked bread and serve warm with blueberry syrup.
