Ingredients to make churro cinnamon roll focaccia

All purpose flour - this is the base of the focaccia.

Sugar - to activate the yeast

Salt - adds flavor

Water - to knead the dough.

Butter and olive oil - Focaccia is a bread that is made with olive oil only. Since this is a sweet cinnamon focaccia, this recipe uses a combination of butter and olive oil. The butter yields soft texture while olive oil gives the characteristic focaccia.

Active dry yeast - leavening agent used. If using instant yeast, activation step is not required.

Selefina Spices Cinnamon - The best cinnamon powder gives the perfect aroma and flavor that gives you nostalgia of your favorite cinnamon bun when you have this focaccia. If you do not have this brand, you may use what you have on hand.

Taylor and Colledge Vanilla extract paste - This paste is easy to use with the perfect bolt of vanilla flavor. You may substitute with vanilla that you might have on hand.

Brown sugar - This recipe uses light brown sugar. This yields the characteristic sweet filling combined with cinnamon that results in the sweet and addictive focaccia.

Cream cheese - Adds protein as well as the tart flavor of cream cheese balances with sweet bread.

Powdered sugar - this sweetens the cream cheese icing.

Milk - This facilitates in making the smooth icing for the cinnamon focaccia.

Working with the dough

Focaccia dough is made with 70% hydration. Therefore it is best to measure the weight in grams and then make the dough. I did the conversion from grams to cups after measuring in the recipe card. Hence, you could use as such or measure the grams and work.

Since it is sticky dough, while shaping as well as making dimples, dip your fingers in water or water-oil mixture for easy workability. This makes baking bread or focaccia at home simpler.

What size pan to use?

This bread can be made in a 7x11-in or 8x8-in pan. This gives the perfect height. If you bake in a different or larger size pan, the focaccia may be thinner and hence you might want to watch on the baking time. When you can smell the amazing aroma of cinnamon and the crust is golden it is time to take the focaccia out.

In addition, you can also insert a toothpick and check for doneness. Also, you could use a thermometer to check the interior temperature of the bread. An interior temperature 190-200 degrees F indicates the focaccia is done.

Serving Suggestions

Brighten up your morning and your entire day with this churro cinnamon roll focaccia. Serve a piece of this with a cup of coffee or tea for a delightful start which will keep you up all throughout the day. You can serve this to kids with milk. What else can be more comforting!

In addition, this can be a great snack too. A great after school snack. Or when you have the 4'o clock craving, yes, a small piece is all you need!

Storage

These are great to store at room temperature for a day. Since it has cream cheese icing, I would recommend storing it in the refrigeratir for extended shelf life. When needed, just leave it outside to come to room temperature or keep for a few minutes in a warm oven and then serve.

More Rolls for Breakfast

Cinnamon rolls are a beloved breakfast here and I tend to add my own seasonal spin now and then. Other than the standard cinnamon rolls, I make Carrot Cinnamon Rolls for a Spring flair and Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls boasting with the Fall flavors!
