## Tips

- Brown the butter first to get more complex caramel notes in the filling. To brown butter, melt it over medium-high heat and simmer, stirring every 30 seconds until it goes quiet and starts foaming, then look for lightly browned specks.
- Warm up the cinnamon sugar butter before spreading it over the dough to make it drizzling consistency.
- You can top this focaccia with a cream cheese icing if preferred instead of the suggested glaze.
- Brush the glaze on top, sides, and bottom of the focaccia for full coverage.
