## Equipment

- 9x13 inch tray
- parchment paper
- oven
- whisk
- cooling rack

## Tips

- You can use regular butter without browning it, but browning provides more complex caramel notes.
- The cinnamon sugar butter filling hardens as it cools, so warm it up to return it to a drizzling consistency before adding it to the top of the dough.
- The creator brushes the bottom of the focaccia with glaze by rubbing it in the tray.
