Description
These Garlic Rosemary Focaccia Muffins are a delicious twist on traditional focaccia bread, baked in a muffin tin for individual servings. Infused with garlic, fresh rosemary, and sea salt, they’re soft inside with a golden, crispy crust.
Ingredients
- 1 ⅓ cups warm water (110°F)
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil (plus more for drizzling)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary (plus more for topping)
- Coarse sea salt, for topping
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine warm water and honey. Stir until dissolved, then add the yeast. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
- Add the flour, olive oil, and kosher salt to the yeast mixture. Stir until a dough forms.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and knead in the minced garlic and chopped rosemary.
- Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape them into balls.
- Grease a muffin tin and place each dough ball into a muffin cup. Cover and let rise again for 20–30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Drizzle the tops with olive oil and sprinkle with rosemary and coarse sea salt.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- You can use dried rosemary if fresh is not available, but reduce the quantity slightly.
- Best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for 2–3 days.
- Try adding other toppings like sun-dried tomatoes or olives for variation.
