Tips
- Browning the butter first will give more complex caramel notes to the filling.
- When browning butter, stir every 30 seconds to prevent sticking or burning.
- The butter is browned when it goes quiet, starts foaming up, and you see lightly browned specks.
- Warm up the cinnamon sugar butter to a drizzling consistency before adding to the dough.
- Drizzle glaze over the focaccia once it's out of the oven, brushing on top, sides, and bottom.
- Transfer to a cooling rack for the glaze to harden for about 15 minutes.
- The dough should be covered to finish proofing at room temp for 1-1.5 hours before baking.
- Line the parchment on the tray with melted salted butter instead of olive oil.
- Add diced apples to the sugar mixture in two phases to prevent it from becoming too liquidy.
- The oven should be preheated to 215C/420F, with the rack in the lowest position, before baking for 23-25 minutes.
- Use a 9x13 inch tray for transferring the dough and stretching it to the edges.
- You can use regular butter if you don't want to brown it first, but browning it is worth the extra effort for flavor.
- The butter should be a lovely golden brown, not dark brown, when browned.
- Mix 1/3 of the diced apples with half of the cinnamon filling and spread over the dough before folding.
- Mix the remaining 2/3 diced apples with the warmed cinnamon sugar butter and spread over the top of the dough, dimpling it in before baking.
- Brush the bottom of the focaccia with glaze by rubbing it in the tray that has been brushed with glaze to ensure even coating and flavor throughout.
- For making the dough, refer to the recipe/tutorial which is the first post on the creator's grid, pinned to the top left corner.
- The recipe for the dough is a 'same-day focaccia dough'.
