Cinnamon Focaccia - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    6 - 6 1/2 cups flour
    2 (1/4 ounce) packages active dry yeast
    1 teaspoon salt
    2 cups warm water (120 to 130 degrees)
    1/4 cup vegetable oil
    1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine, melted
    1/3 cup sugar
    1 teaspoon cinnamon
    1/2 - 1 cup chopped nuts
    1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
    3 -4 tablespoons half-and-half cream
Preparation
    In a mixing 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 2 greased 12-inch 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\u00b0 for 25-30 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from pans to wire racks.
    Combine powdered sugar and enough cream to achieve a glaze consistency. Drizzle over warm bread.
